Impose tray selection

Hi,
I was looking for a way to make a tray selection and eventually ended up in property that exists in the Print dialog box: "Choose paper source by PDF paper size".
If we have a pdf with 2 different page sizes across the document and a printer with 2 corresponding trays predefined to these page sizes then each page will print to the right tray determined by the current page's page size.
But if all pages in the pdf have the same size e.g. A4 and we still want tray selection on certain pages? For example in the first tray we have blue A4 and in the second tray yellow A4?
I thought that some good idea is to rotate 90 degrees of pages that intended for the second tray. For example we suppose that tray 1 has predefined page size 21x29,7 and tray 2 to 29,7x21. In the first tray will be printed the original A4 (portrait) and in the second tray the rotated (landscape) pages. The only
drawback of this method is that the output pages from the second tray must un rotated.
Am I right or it will recognize the trays as same? Has anyone other solution?

Please check thru transaction code SPAD
In SPAD > select the printer>. On the output devicescreen,--> menu selection Goto --> Device Type. This will allow youenter specific PCL code for all Print Controls.
SE71 -> on page layout, --> give a tray name (TRY01) in the resource name to all pages in the sapscript.
But you should know the printer PCL codes (basis can help you on this)

Wrong automatic paper tray selection in HP LaserJet M3035 printer.

Hello,
I have a printer (this one http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-3328064-12004-3328083-2512333-2512337-3435... ) shared in Active Directory by several users (running Windows XP machines). The thing is that no matter how many times I try to set the source paper tray to a specific one, it seems it doesnt apply/store the changes, and it comes back to Auto tray selection (and it always selects tray #1, which is the one im trying to avoid), causing an issue which needs to be solved by hand.
Thanks a lot in advance.

1. Go into your SETUP MENU on your printer.
2. Choose PREFERENCES
3. Choose DEFAULT TRAY.
Try it and let me know what happens, thanks.

Does the Officejet 8600 Pro Premium N911n printer perform auto tray selection?

I have an Officejet 8600 Pro Pemium N911n printer, CN577A with two trays. My Operating Sysem is Win8,64bit,there are no error messages, no system changes.
The HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in One series User Guide states that By default, the printer draws media from Tray1.If Tray1 is empty, the printer draws media from Tray2(if it is installed and loaded with media. I have Tray lock disabled ,Tay1 the default Tray and Automatic Tray Selection enabled.Prior to making these selections,I contacted HP support via email to report that this option was not working. I received a response that there is no method that will automatically select a tray when one tray is empty. The User 's manual states otherwise..This option might not work but it is part of this series of printers. I have both trays loaded and I will determine if it works after Tray1 is empty. Does anyone have one of these printers and the auto Tray function works? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Smart form dynamic tray selection on printing

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in smart form that need to output the a particular invoice to a particular tray a printer. For e.g. tray 2.
I have added TRY02 to the resource name of the pages in the smartform, but still the invoice is being printed to the default tray of the printer.
I have done a test to that printer by printing the SAPCRIPT-TRAYTEST from SO10, and the output is being printed correctly i.e. to the different trays. So I guess the printer has been configured correctly.
Is there any additional configurations that need to be done for smart forms for the tray selection works correctly? And, is it correct the way I implemented the functionality in the smart form?
Can someone help please?
Thanks in advance

Zaheed

Can we change tray selection dynamically?

Hello experts,
is it possible to change the tray selection dynamically? That is to say, via the driver program.
For example the default tray on the SAPscript form is TRY02. So if there are less than 20 lines on a form, it'll use TRY02 containing paper with pre-printed text. However, if there are more lines, then, I would like it to use TRY03 containing blank paper, for the rest of the information.
Is this possible via programming or any other way for that matter?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Tray Options are available in the Output Device. You can't control it from the SAP Script. In Output device Tray's will be defined, But there is no option to shift the Tray based on the lines.
But If you guys can define two output device, one with tray TRY02 and other device with tray TRY03. Then in the program based on the how many lines, Pass the Respective Output device to the Spool structures in the program.

Tray selection with LOCL in sapscript

I want to print the document from Tray 2 always and so I set the resource name in the sapscript to TRY02. When I put the printer name in, it works fine and prints from tray 2. But when I put LOCL as the output device, it always prints from the default tray. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I think this is because of your local printer configuration
Please find the documentation related to this-> this documentation i found in start> printer and faxes>select your default printer> right click> properties> help> index --> find tab > type tray> Selecting paper by type or source
If your application supports printing by paper type or source, make the selections from your application. Application settings override printer driver settings.
You can configure the printer to select paper by Type (such as Plain or Letterhead) or Source (such as Tray 1 or Tray 2). If you frequently use several different kinds of paper, once trays are set up correctly from the printer control panel, you do not have to check which paper is loaded in each tray before you print.
Your paper trays must be configured from the printer control panel before you can print by type. To configure your paper trays, see the printer user guide.

Tray selection problem

After upgrading to Leopard I had this problem: printing to any of my printers (Xerox Docucolor 12, Docucolor 2240, Docucolor 3535, Phaser 8500, Develop 5510id), *in the print dialog window I select a tray (i.e. tray 2), and the printer uses the tray "before" that (in this case tray 1).*
So I can no more print from my "last trays" (typically the bypass tray) because there are no more trays after them in the tray selection tab. The only thing I can do is to leave "automatic selection" of the tray, but this don't work in all occasions (for example when I have to print from bypass on heavyweight paper which has the same size of the paper present in another tray).
What kind of problem can this be? Maybe a PPD corruption problem (but the corruption of ALL the PPDs is not so easy...)

I experienced the same problem with our Canon imageRUNNERs on Leopard using the Canon PPD's. If I used the Canon PS driver the same symptom did not occur, however for some apps it was necessary to use the ppd's only.
The only workaround I found was to print via paper type rather than paper source. By selecting to print via paper type, this meant that if A3 heavy card stock was loaded in the stack bypass, as well as A3 80gsm plain paper in one of the trays, only the paper from the bypass was selected.
I don't believe it is ppd corruption. It has more to do with CUPS not parsing the ppd data correctly. For the drivers that do not rely on CUPS, such as the Canon PS driver and the new imagePASS (Fiery) drivers, the same issue does not occur.

Dynamic Tray Selection in Smartforms

Hi all,
I am looking for a solution, to set the tray in a Smartform dynamically.
It is not sufficient to set the Tray statically on the "Output Options" tab -> Ressource Name.
Can anybody help me?!?
Thanks and best regards,

Normally, tray selection is done using GET_PRINT_PARAMETER FM.

Tray selection of printer doesn't work with printing order confirmation

Hello,
When we try to print output for the order confirmation document (BA00 and custom ZBA0) on a different paper tray (e.g. tray 2 for printer avbekyo-01_tray2 in SAP R/3) then the ouput is printed to tray 1 in stead. We have defined two different printers in SAP for the tray selection. We tested the ouput on different printers, besides the avbekyo-01 and went wrong on the others also. When we print out an invoice (ZRD0) to the printer on the second tray, the invoice is printed correctly from the second tray. With an ABAP developer we debugged the print process, but no code leads to the fact that the output for the order confirmation should be printed to the first tray, while the second tray was selected in the output record. In the code still the second tray is processed, but printed on the first. The only difference we can find is that the order confirmation is SAPScript and the invoice is a Smartform. Does anyone know a solution?.
Kind regards

Unfortunately the setting doesn't resolve the problem. We also have activated the settings of Tray2 in the option Tray Info.

7515 keeps trying to print from photo tray when main tray selected (Mac)?

Just started uing a iMac with the 7515. It's driving me nuts that it keeps trying to print from the photo tray when I have main tray clearly selected in the print dialog box.
I'm trying to insert the picture of the print dialog box, but doesn't seem to be working. In presets (the second selection box from the top) I've got "Print from Main Tray" selected pretty plainly.
Turning the printer on and off does not help.
Any help appreciated.

Hey Chriscic,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Always the best recommend steps to start off with when troubleshooting with a Mac, is to reset the printing system. Then verify, and repair the disk permissions.
So to start with the reset of the printing system, I have included the document 'Macintosh: Resetting the Printing System in Mac OS X'. Please select your version of Mac, and follow through the steps. If you have Mavericks, you can follow the steps for OS X v10.8. Also, please do not re-add the printer just yet.
After the reset of the printing system, you will need to complete the verify, and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions'. For step three when it asks you to select a disk, please select your hard drive. Once the repair has completed, please restart the Mac.
After the Mac has restarted, you can now add the printer back into the print queue. The try to print. Are you still experiencing the same issue? Or are you able to print from the main tray?
If you do require further assistance, please let me know the version of Mac OS X you are running. If you need it, I have included the document 'Finding your OS X version and build information'.
Looking forward to your reply.

Check printing Tray selection

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have to print checks after printing some invoice details. The customer requirement is that checks are to be different/special paper kept in a different tray. So the logic requires that all the details be printed on normal page in default tray, while the checks should be printed from paper in different tray.
Is there a was to perform Tray selection using XMLPub APIs ?
Thanks in advance

Printer tray selection VS2010

We have the following questions regarding windows printer default tray determining tray to print from:
 
1. When we set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource, it defaults back to Auto (we can see that when we debug, it simply ignores the command) - why is that, and which option should we use to get the printer to use PrinterDefaultTray?
 
2. Default Printer impacts rpt. file even though "No Printer" is checked in the Page Setup dialog - so the default printer set on the developer PC opening the Page Setup of a .rpt file (not making a change, just opening) will change the file. Why is that and what change is made?
 
3. We have made a default 'dummy' printer on the developer pc which is used when opening the .rpt file. If a similar printer with the same name does not exist on the PC printing the report, we cannot control the tray that is prints from.
 
Is there a viewer that can show what has been changed inside an .rpt file to better understand what is happening to the file when it is opened in VS2010?
 
We are experiencing an issue with Crystal Reports VS2010 when trying to print reports to a specific tray. We have recently upgraded from .net 1.1 to .net 4.0 and in relation to this we also upgraded the CR version.
 
In the previous version we were able to setup windows printers with a specific default tray and when printing to this windows printer, the default tray of this windows printer was used. We have a range of printers being used in a client windows forms application, so we need to be able to continue letting the windows printer definition determine which tray to use. Preferable we would like to set PaperSource to UsePrinterDefaultTray, but that option does not seem to exist (or we have not found it yet). We have found another solution, but would like to understand why it works so we know that it is a viable solution.
 
The application is based on creating a report using the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass. The example below has been shortened for readability:
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass m_reportClass = new new EKRB007A(); 
// create/get data for report 
// u2026 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
m_reportClass.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
 
m_reportClass.SetDataSource(this.dataSet); 
 
CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins pm = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins( 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalHorizontalAlignment(), 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment(), 
 m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin, 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment() ); 
 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins( pm ); 
 
// The name of the windows printer to use is read from parameters. 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PrinterName = this.getA4InvoicePrinterCopy(); // here it will return 'InvoicePrinter' 
 
m_reportClass.PrintToPrinter( 
 1, 
 true, 
 1, 
 m_reportClass.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber( new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext())); 
The printer has the 'No Printer' set in the Page Setup dialog as we have different printers with different number of trays, so we need to be able to specify the printer at runtime (according to the VS2010 CR documentation, there should be two dialogs - Print Setup and Page Setup, but in VS2010, we can only find the Page Setup, and it includes some of the options from the old Print Setup dialog).
 
Developer A, has two printers: printer 'Generic Text' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' (the one to print from as read from the paramter in the above code). The 'Generic Text' is a generic text printer with no trays and the 'InvoicePrinter' is an OKI printer with two trays. 
Developer B, has printer 'InvoicePrinter' set as default. 
Developer C, has two printers: printer 'SalesList' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' 
Developer A sets up printer 'InvoicePrinter' to print in tray 1 (and 'Generic Text' is default printer). Then opens the .rpt file and compiles. If a print is made on the developer PC, it prints to the correct tray. We can change 'InvoicePrinter' to tray 2 and again it prints correctly. However, if the same .dll is deployed on Developer B's PC, and a print is made, it always uses the same tray even though the windows printer is changed (it actually uses the 'InvoicePrinter', but it ignores the tray it is configured to use). The same is the case for Developer C's PC.
 
We have tried to set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource and m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.Auto, but it has no impact.
 
If Developer B adds a printer called 'Generic Text' (even though it is not to be used) AND sets this printer to be the default printer, then it works exactly as on Developer A's PC - meaning that the windows printer tray definition of 'InvoicePrinter' is used correctly.
 
Our solution rigth now is to install a 'dummy' printer on all developer PCs and on all client PCs. This printer must be set as default printer on developer PCs so when the Page Setup of any .rpt file is opened (yes, just opening it changes the file), the new file generated will be based on the 'Generic Text' printer. We will then change the default printer on client PCs just before printing to the 'Generic Text' printer and set it back to their 'normal' default afterwards.
 
In my dev team we all agree that this is not the optimal solutions, so any suggestions will be well received.
