Re: CL printer issue

Hi Lynette,

The DRAWER keyword is the correct parameter to override 
because it describes where the paper comes from, as 
opposed to the OUTBIN parameter, which describes where 
it should go after the printing takes place.

I would suggest looking at the Device Description for PRT26.
You should verify that the value for the parameter Formfeed 
is *AUTOCUT and not *CONT.

The Formfeed parameter is initially set to *TYPE, which should 
automatically update to the correct value after the first print
job is passed to the printer. I believe the default value for
the parameter is continuous forms (*CONT) and I have encountered
situations during my career where the *CONT value appears
instead of *AUTOCUT for cut sheet fed laser printers.

When this happens, all application based source drawer 
requests are directed to the printer's IPDS defined 
default tray until the Formfeed parameter is changed.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
