Specifying stocks for the job
The Paper Stock dialog box enables you to define or select

dialog box in the following ways:
• Select one or more programmed stocks for your job from
the stock ID menu.
• Specify the properties of a stock that will be the main
stock for this job only.
• Program and save stocks for use with the current job and
subsequent jobs.
• Modify the properties of a previously defined stock.
You can program up to 20 different stocks for a job.
Stock categories
The XDS software organizes the stocks that it detects in job
tickets into the following categories:
NOTE: This section is specifically for Macintosh users.
• Printer stocks: Stocks that are loaded on the printer.
Properties for printer stocks are entered at the printer
controller user interface screen. You cannot change the
properties of these stocks from your client dialog boxes,
nor can you delete them from the ID menu.
Printer stocks are listed in the Printer Capabilities file,
which can be created on systems that run XDS Plus, then
copied to your Macintosh workstation or, created on your
Mac OS X system. Refer to “Creating a Printer
Capabilities File,” later in this chapter.
