Abstract
Arrangements and procedures are described to automatically configure an imaging device to form images on sheets of print media in a stack of print media. To accomplish this, information is imprinted on the top sheet of the stack of print media. The information provides media parameter information that corresponds to each of the other sheets of print media in the stack of print media. An imaging device senses, or reads the information from the top sheet in a manner that is independent of any particular orientation of the top sheet. The imaging device is configured form images on each of the sheets of print media based on the sensed information.
