1. A method for creating a machine-readable code for a custom cut stock, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a request to create a machine-readable code for a custom cut stock at a user interface of a printing device that is communicatively coupled to an application server of the processor;
receiving, by the processor, a manufacturer, a paper size, a finish, a coating, a weight, and a color associated with the custom cut stock from a user interface;
receiving, by the processor, system settings for the printing device for a print job that is to be printed on the custom cut stock;
creating, by the processor, the machine-readable code for the custom cut stock, wherein the machine-readable code contains the manufacturer, the paper size, the finish, the coating, the weight, and the color associated with the custom cut stock and the system setting of the printing device; and
transmitting, by the processor, the machine-readable code to the printing device to be printed and scanned by the printing device when subsequent reams of the custom cut stock are loaded into the printing device to automatically provide the manufacturer, the paper size, the finish, the coating, the weight, and the color associated with the custom cut stock to the printing device and to automatically set the system settings of the printing device for the print job.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for creating a machine-readable code for a custom cut stock, comprising:
-
receiving a request to create a machine-readable code for a custom cut stock at a user interface of a printing device that is communicatively coupled to an application server of the processor; receiving a manufacturer, a paper size, a finish, a coating, a weight, and a color associated with the custom cut stock from a user interface; receiving system settings for the printing device for a print job that is to be printed on the custom cut stock; creating the machine-readable code for the custom cut stock, wherein the machine-readable code contains the manufacturer, the paper size, the finish, the coating, the weight, and the color associated with the custom cut stock and the system setting of the printing device; and transmitting the machine-readable code to the printing device to be printed and scanned by the printing device when subsequent reams of the custom cut stock are loaded into the printing device to automatically provide the manufacturer, the paper size, the finish, the coating, the weight, and the color associated with the custom cut stock to the printing device and to automatically set the system settings of the printing device for the print job. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
