Feeding Paper

Using VMS Commands

If you are connected to the printer through a DECnet network, you can use the VMS PRINT command parameter INPUT_Input bin to select a paper input bin. The PRINT command syntax for input bin selection is

$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue/param=(input=bin1,output=bin2)

Replace queue with the appropriate queue name. Your choices for bin1 are top and bottom, and your choices for bin2 are top, bottom, and side. (See the VMS Interface for QMS Printers manual for com- plete information about using PRINT parameters.) If you select an input bin that is empty or has been removed, the printer waits for more paper to be loaded in the input bin or for the input bin to be replaced. If you use SHEET_SIZE and INPUT_Input bin, the paper size specified by SHEET_SIZE must match the paper loaded in INPUT_Input bin. If it does not, the printer stops printing, displays an error message, and waits for the correct paper size to be loaded in the specified input bin.

Selecting Paper by Size

When you use a DOC, VMS, or UNIX paper size selection command, the printer searches the paper input bins for the matching paper size. When it finds a match, it uses paper from that input bin to print your file. If you know a certain size paper has been loaded in one of the paper input bins, you can use a paper size selection command to select the input bin containing that paper even if you do not know the input bin number or name.

Using QMS DOC Commands

The QMS DOC command for selecting paper size is

%%IncludeFeature: input (size)

Your choices for size are letter, legal, a4, quarto, commercial, foolscap, folio, and legalsmall. (See the QMS Crown Document Option Commands manual for complete information about using DOC commands in your files.) If you use a value for size that is not loaded
