RE: Defining multiple printer bins

[Jim Damato <jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you really have three bins on your HP4000, or is one bin the pop-out
(envelope) sheet feeder?

I was able to make HP4xxx printers differentiate between normal 8 1/2 x 11
paper and A4 by using the PPRSRC1, PPRSRC2, and ENVELOPE parms on the
CHGDEVPRT command (WRKDEVD, option 2).  I was then able to use the OVRPRTF
command to force the printer to figure out which drawer to use based on
document size.  This worked for us largely because we work working with
three different standard sizes -- legal, letter, and A4.  If we weren't
using standard sizes I'd probably have been researching form definitions.

Subject: Defining multiple printer bins


I have an HP4000 that I print to over the network from the AS/400 (V5R1).
What I want to do is define bin 1 as *form1, bin 2 and *std, and bin 3 as
*form2.

Can it be done?  How?  I think I can define the forms to the HP4000 but how
will the AS/400 know which bin to print to.

TIA
