= SUMMARY =

The Works version 2.00 Print Printer Setup Page Feed options for the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IID are “Continuous” and “Manual”. The Continuous option accesses the default upper tray. Other bins are not directly supported; however, an escape sequence can be inserted to select the lower tray or a “mixed” selection (using both upper and lower trays in a single print job).

= MORE INFORMATION =

To insert escape sequences into a document, position the cursor on the first character in the document and type the escape sequences described below. Then by using the Select Replace command replace @ with ^27 (this inserts the escape character, which is a left arrow symbol). Choose Replace All.

Lower Paper Tray
Enter the following on the first line of the document to use letterhead with a 1.75-inch top margin:

@&l4H@&a+10R

Use Select Replace as shown above to insert the escape character. Use Print Page Setup & Margins to set the desired margins. The escape sequence will override the top margin, so a command is included to position the cursor where printing should begin. Use a number larger or smaller than 10 to adjust the top margin.

Mixed Tray Use
This procedure prints the first page on letterhead from the lower tray and subsequent pages on plain paper from the upper (default) tray. Enter the escape code sequence as above for first page. Insert a manual page break where desired to begin the second page. On the first line of the second page, enter the following escape code sequence:

@&l1H@a+5R

Use Select Replace as above to insert the escape codes. A value of “5” will position the cursor for a 1-inch top margin.
