CHAPTER 6: Operation

To change the physical tray assigned to the theoretical paper drawer (#1, #2, or #3), take these steps:

1.Select the paper drawer with host/PC-download command 13, 14, or 15.

2.Select the number representing the physical tray listed in the printer’s manual.

By changing the paper drawer on the host, up to three different paper sources on the printer can be accessed.

Table 6-2 below shows the default values of the three host/PC-download commands and, as examples, lists the corresponding paper trays used by the HP LaserJet 4Si and 4 Plus printers.

To change the assigned paper tray, type the respective command followed by a comma (“,”) and the corresponding number of the chosen paper source.

If you have an HP LaserJet 4 Plus connected to the HPIIISi Twinax Card, and the host is requesting paper to be fed through paper drawer #1, the HP printer would, by default, feed from the paper cassette. To assign the 500-sheet cassette to paper drawer #1, send the host/PC-download command &%Z13,5 to the printer.
