Syntax

PAPERSOURCE=tray

tray
specifies the name or number of the paper tray. Values for tray depend on the type of printer and can be one of the following:
tray the name or number of the paper tray, for example, PAPERSOURCE=3, PAPERSOURCE=TRAY3, PAPERSOURCE=Upper
'long tray name' a character string that is the name of the paper tray, for example, PAPERSOURCE='Optional Output Tray'. Names with blanks or special characters must be quoted.


Details

On some printers, if PAPERSIZE= is also specified, it overrides the setting on PAPERSOURCE=.

For PostScript printers, a tray number, such as PAPERSOURCE='tray3', must correspond to an InputSlot value in the PPD file.

For PCL printers, consult the printer's documentation for valid tray values. If a numeric value exceeds the maximum tray value allowed for the printer, a warning message is issued . For string values, the string is checked against a list of strings that are valid for the driver:

If the string is not valid for the driver, a warning message is issued.
