PostScript paper tray support
When the printer receives one of the operators listed in “Tray selected with tray operators” on page 15, it performs
the actions listed in this section. This paper tray selection process ends when a suitable paper source is chosen and
paper is fed from this tray.

• The printer checks the value of manualfeed in statusdict and the ManualFeed page device parameter. If either one
is true, then the printer sends a message to load the requested size in the manual feeder or multipurpose feeder.

• The PageSize Policy is set to 0 by means of setpagedevice.
• The printer checks the paper size loaded in the current active source to determine if it matches the requested size.
If the sizes match, then the paper is fed from the active source.
Note: The current active tray is the last source that was selected from the printer control panel or by the printer
language.

• If the requested size and the size loaded in the active source do not match, then the sources are searched in the
order defined by the Priority array in the InputAttributes dictionary in the pagedevice dictionary.

• If the requested media size is not found by the previous search, then the following search order is used:
– Tray 1
– Tray 2
– Tray 3
– Multipurpose feeder
– Tray 4
– Tray 5
• If the requested size cannot be located in any automatic source, then a configurationerror is issued and the job is
flushed.
For printers that support automatic duplexing:

• Automatic duplexing is not supported for custom-size paper or for envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Automatic
duplexing is supported from the multipurpose feeder for all other papers.

• If the paper source is changed before the back side of a duplexed page prints, then a blank back page prints, the
paper source changes, and the information for the back side of the page is printed on the front side of a page sent
from the new paper source.

PostScript (PS) emulation

15

When these operators are used, it is equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence:
<< /PageSize [x y]/ImagingBBox null /Policies << /PageSize 0>> >>
setpagedevice

where x y are the PageSize in points.

PostScript envelope size support
The literal names in “Envelope sizes supported” on page 16 are also supported as operators in userdict. These
operators change the image size, but do not change the active paper source. Therefore, when these operators are used,
part of the image may be clipped.
When these literal names are used as operators, it is equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation
sequence. The following example uses a 3.875 x 7.5 envelope.

PostScript envelope tray support
If manualfeed in statusdict and the ManualFeed page device parameter are false when the printer receives one of the
envelopetray operators listed in “Envelopetray operator selections” on page 17, then the following occurs:

• The printer sets the PageSize Policy to 0.
• The printer checks the active source to see if it matches the requested envelope size. If the sizes match, then the
envelope is fed from the active source.
Note: The active source is the last source selected from the printer control panel or data stream.

PostScript (PS) emulation

17

• If the requested size and the size loaded in the active source do not match, then the sources are searched in the
order defined by the Priority array in the InputAttributes dictionary in the pagedevice dictionary.

• If the requested media size is not found by the previous search, then the following search order is used:
– Envelope feeder
– Multipurpose feeder
• If the requested size and type are not available from any automatic source, then you are prompted to load the
requested envelope size and type in the manual feed source.

• If the size is still not available, then a configurationerror is issued and the print job is flushed.
If manualfeed or ManualFeed is true, then the printer prompts you to load the requested size manually. If no manual
feed exists on the printer, then a rangecheck error message is issued.
The envelope tray the printer selects when it receives an envelopetray operator is listed in “Envelopetray operator
selections” on page 17. These operators are equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence:
<> >>
setpagedevice

where x y are the PageSize in points.
