Not sure of the other stuff, but the ASCII control sequence, I believe, should be in the printer's manual. Thanks, Mark Mark D.

I have searched the archives and googled. I have downloaded the Workstation Customization Programming manual and the IBM AS/400 Printing IV redbook. All I want to do is to have our prints to Savin 9935DPE laser to always use paper from drawer #3. That doesn't seem to unreasonable, does it? The first three drawers all have 8.5x11 paper, same orientation, but the first two drawers hold colored paper for faxes, and drawer 3 holds white paper for copying and normal printing. (FYI, drawer 4 holds 11x17.) A little background: I created a remote outq via CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/PRT49IP) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(QUSER) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) INTNETADR('172.16.100.212') (I did find IBM documentation that indicated to use *HP5SI for this printer.) I note that there are no drawer options here. Do some research, and it appears that I need to customize the *HP5SI workstation customization object. I download those two books, scan for drawer, find DWRSLT & DWRNBR. Can't use DWRSLT because it is limited to drawer #1 or #2, and I need drawer #3, so DWRNBR is required. So here's where the "rocket scientist" kicks in: Selecting Paper Drawer Number (DWRNBR) Tag The DWRNBR (select paper drawer number) tag selects the printer paper drawer. The drawer number is a variable in the ASCII control sequence. This tag is only used if the drawer number is greater than two (2). The syntax for this tag is: :DWRNBR VAROFFSET = variable offset in control sequence VARLEN = variable length VARTYPE = HIGHLOW|LOWHIGH|CHRDEC|CHRHEX| DATA = ASCII control sequence. I have omitted the descriptions for the parameters. It is greek anyway. No clues are given for the ASCII control sequence codes. FWIW, I found this reference on page 175 in the OS/400 Workstation Customization Programming V4R3 manual. tia, db -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
