Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

The paper size command has two parameters4. The first parameter (n1) establishes the paper size to be used, the second (n2) tells the interface in which tray the paper type is. If you use the n2 option together with an n1 option, you can connect one paper size to a specific paper tray. You send the command as follows:

&&??% %Y12,<n1>[,n2]% &&??<space>

The command &&??% selects the character "%" as the escape character . The escape character is a signal to the interface that the data stream following is a command stream. The last command in the above line (&&?? <space>) erases the temporary escape character again.

The %Y12 command tells the printer which paper size to use. You have the following options for the n1 parameter:
