Thanks David,
It sure can't hurt to repackage the media, If I was a single user/operator I would, Again, our issues are a little different than most as we have multiple users, the racking system was simple. Each marked rack space holds a different media, each spindle marked the same, look at the printer to see what was loaded, not the one you need? Lift it off and place back in the empty space on the rack, take the one you want drop it in the printer, no paper handling and hard to screwup dirt simple.
Unfortunately I did not choose the printer, I just have to work with it.
I am a tech so I get called in when there are print issues or paper load issues, I added a hidden switch inside the door area on the left to defeat the door open interlock, this allowed me to observe paper load, assist it if needed and see the start of the print so I could cancel the job if there was a print or nozzle problem instead of waiting until it appeared out the bottom.
Bottom line is unless I buy lots of new paper holders and re do the rack there is no way to see what is in the printer (hopefully they will note the empty rack) and they all have to learn to lock and unlock the holder and handle the paper. So plan for now is to replace the 9600 spindles with marked PVC pipe or dowels.
Thanks to everyone who helped me think through this.
