Re: sending esc codes to printer

[NEDOLPH@AOL.COM]

It is possible that a New Page command is outputting an escape E or printer
reset at the start of each physical page.
you might try forcing your select tray 3 command both before and after any
new page command. (belt and suspenders) the new page or print header may be
flushing your set up string.

If your environment is shared, especially if the system prints a separator
page between jobs, the network system may be generating the Escape E as part
of the separator page sequence.

I don't think you can select that tray too often. I have had the same problem
with fonts set up at the top of the job being scrubbed away after the
delivery of the first page

hope this helps

ps I assume you are printing on legal paper in tray 3 because if you are
calling for a "mixed" combination where for example (in Ms word) you are
calling for a 14 inch document and are sending the output to a tray holding
letter size paper. the system will hang. asking you to change paper trays.
maybe something like that is afoot.
all best,
