Configuring for Multiple Cassettes
With an optional cassette, you have a choice of which tray your
printer draws from and in what order it draws. The method for doing
this varies from system to system, but there are usually three
options.
1. Your software application package may include a specific
procedure for sending paper source commands directly to the
printer. Check your application documentation.
2. The PS Executive Series Utilities offers a menu-driven
program for paper tray selection. This is often the best and
easiest way to configure your paper source. For details on
selecting trays see the “Current Paper Source” for a PC or
“Using the QMS Paper Handler” for a Macintosh.
3. If you choose not to configure the paper source through the
application or the utility program, a file containing the
PostScript commands may be written using an editor, then
sending the file to the printer. See the chapter “PostScript:
Technical Overview” for the actual PostScript commands.
NOTE: The changes made to the paper source are immediately
active after changing through PS Executive Series
Utilities or by PostScript operator command. However,
the paper tray indicator lights on the printer do not change
until a page is actually drawn from the tray. Thus
checking indicator lights after making the change is not
an accurate way to check the receiving by the printer of
the command.
