xcmDocPrintDefaultMediumName 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.59.13.1.1.1

The value of this object is the name of the medium that is the default medium for this document. A null string indicates that neither the submitting client, nor the system, nor the printer has specified a default medium for this document. NOTE: This attribute that is supplied by the job service requester is localizable by the job service provider, since the job service provider must understand and support the specified value. ISO DPA: Default-medium This attribute identifies a medium that the server shall use as the medium default for the pages of the document that require a specification. Standard values are defined in the specification of the medium- identifier medium attribute. If the page-media-select attribute is specified (either by the client or by a server default, i.e., the page-media-select attribute of the initial-value-job object specified by the logical or physical printer), then the server shall use the page-media-select value to override the default-medium specification on a page by page basis. The default-medium attribute may contain a value of id-val- generic-none (see DPA 9.1.2) indicating that the server shall not use a default medium. Instead, the server shall rely on lower precedence document attributes (such as default-input- tray) for the media specification. If the document data, itself, specifies media, such specification shall override the default-medium attribute on a page by page basis. If the document data specifies media which are not also values of media-used, then a printer may receive a document which requires media that are not ready. In such a case, an implementation may either abort the document or try printing the document on some alternative medium, such as the default medium. A client has numerous ways to specify the media to be used when printing a document and different document pages can be specified in different ways. The client can specify the media in the document contents or with attributes. Some attributes override the document contents, and other attributes may be overridden by the document contents. In addition, the client can specify the media by name or by the input-tray containing it. Before printing each page of a document, the server determines the medium or input-tray for that page by finding the first condition in the list of numbered steps below that is satisfied. For this discussion, either the medium or the input- tray is sufficient information: a) If page-media-select has a medium value for the current page, use that medium, regardless of document contents and other attributes. b) If input-tray-select has a value, use that tray. c) If the document contents specify a medium, and that medium is the same as the value of one of the original-medium elements in the media-substitution attribute, then use the corresponding substitution-medium in the media-substitution attribute. d) If the document contents specify a medium, use that medium. e) If the document contents specify an input-tray, use that input-tray. f) If the default-medium has a value, and the document format interpreter allows its use, and that medium is the same as the value of one of the original-medium elements in media- substitution attribute, then use the corresponding substitution-medium in the media-substitution attribute. g) If the default-medium has a value and the document format interpreter allows its use, use the default-medium. h) If the default-input-tray has a value and the document format interpreter allows its use, use the default-input-tray. i) Use the medium or input-tray selected by the document format processor in the printer. This selection is implementation-dependent.
