Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and methods consistent with disclosed embodiments permit the automatic configuration of printers based on the generic physical characteristics of print media by using a product code associated with the print media. Printer configuration settings associated with the product code are retrieved and used to automatically configure an input tray holding the media. In some embodiments, the product codes can be scanned using a sensor coupled to the input tray.
