11.2. Paper Trays

Function 11: Paper Path

NOTE:

In XES, function Y62 must be programmed for this function to become effective.

This chapter describes how you select paper trays on your printer. This facility has many different uses.

If your printer has more than one paper tray, you can store different sizes and types of paper in different trays. This could be company paper in one tray, blank paper in another, and coloured paper in yet another tray.

11.2.1 Basic printer set-up

The set-up of the printer front panel will not matter in this connection. The commands sent to the interface will overwrite front panel settings.

NOTE:

XES only. This applies only when function Y36 is set to 0.

11.2.2 Changing paper trays

The tray command only has one parameter. If 3812/5219 emulation is used then paper tray can be selected with system commands.

Using FSL commands, you send a tray selection command as follows:

&&??% %Y11,<n1>%

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.

Saving the command

When you have changed the paper tray, you can tell the interface to remember the correct settings. You do this by adding the %X1 command to the command illustrated above.

Example:

&&??% %Y11,3% %X1
