PostScript (PS) emulation 11

PostScript paper tray support
When the printer receives one of the operators listed in “Tray selected with tray operators” on page 12, 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 that source.
• 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 0with 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 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 previous search does not find the requested media size, then the following search order is used:
– Tray 1
– Tray 2
– Tray 3
– Multipurpose feeder
– Tray 4
• 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 two‑sided printing (duplexing):
• All papers, except custom‑size paper and envelopes, are supported for duplexing in the multipurpose feeder.
• If the paper source is changed before the back side of a two‑sided page print, 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.
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 xand yare the PageSize in points.

PostScript envelope size support
The literal names in “Envelope sizes supported” on page 13 are also supported as operators in userdict. These operators
change the image size but not 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‑inch envelope.

PostScript envelope tray support
The envelope tray the printer selected when it receives an envelopetray operator is listed in “Envelopetray operator selections”
on page 15.
Printer action when manualfeed is false
The printer sets the PageSize Policy to 0if manualfeed in statusdict and the ManualFeed page device parameter are false.
The printer checks and compares source tray size settings between printer and print job data stream.
Envelope setting Printer action
Envelope size settings match The printer pulls the envelope.
Envelope size settings do not
match
The printer searches sources in the order defined by the Priority array in the InputAttributes
dictionary in the pagedevice dictionary.
If search cannot find the requested media size, then the following search order is used:
•Envelope feeder
•Multipurpose feeder
Requested size and type are not
available from any automatic
source
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.
Printer action when manualfeed is true
The printer prompts you to load the requested size manually if manualfeed or ManualFeed is true. If no manual feed exists
on the printer, then a rangecheck error message is issued.
These operators are equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence:
<</PageSize [x y] /ImagingBBox null /Policies<</PageSize 0>> >>
