Hi Dan,

As you have mentioned in one of your postings, many of
the MFP devices frequently have web site based manuals
that do not list the drawer selection codes in them.

What I typically do is to create a document in Wordpad
on an MS Windows enabled PC that says "This is a
test." I then print it through the appropriate
Manufacturer's PCL 5e Windows driver to a file. I
perform this process as many times as necessary to
specify printing to each individual drawer on the MFP
device, which I need to setup on the IBM host.

Following this procedure, I obtained the following
information for your Savin 9935DPE.

Savin Tray 1 is activated by printer code 8
Command in HEX is 1B 26 6C 38 48

Savin Tray 2 is activated by printer code 1
Command in HEX is 1B 26 6C 31 48

Savin Tray 3 is activated by printer code 4
Command in HEX is 1B 26 6C 34 48

Savin Tray 4 is activated by printer code 30
Command in HEX is 1B 26 6C 33 30 48

You don't enter any spaces between the HEX bytes when
you place them into a WSCST parameter.

As Dave mentioned in his posting to you, you could
just change the hex information in the drawer 1 tag of
the WSCST to call for the Savin Tray 3 and then all
output destined for IBM host Source Drawer 1 would end
up being printed on paper stored in the Savin MFP's
tray 3.

HTH
