RE: HP Laserjet 4350 & Drawer issue

Hi Debbie,


Here is what I have.....I'm not sure what it all means.  :)
    :DWRSLT
      DRAWER=PAPER
      DATA ='1B266C3248'X.
Theoretically, this means that when the user selects the manual paper feed, the escape sequence '1B266C3248'X will be sent to the pritnter. 
( ESC&l2H )



    :DWRSLT
      DRAWER=ENVELOPE
      DATA ='1B266C3668314F'X.


When DRAWER(*E1) it sends ESC&l6h1O


    :DWRSLT
      DRAWER=DRAWER1
      DATA ='1B266C3448'X.


When DRAWER(1) it sends ESC&l4H


    :DWRSLT
      DRAWER=DRAWER2
      DATA ='1B266C3148'X.



When DRAWER(2) it sends ESC&l1H
You may also have an additional drawer specification. It'd look like this: 
    :ADDDRWTBLE
      NUMBER=    3
      DATA ='1B266C3548'X.
    :ADDDRWTBLE
      NUMBER=    4
      DATA ='1B266C3848'X.
    :ADDDRWTBLE
      NUMBER=  101
      DATA ='1B266C323048'X.
    :ADDDRWTBLE
      NUMBER=  102
      DATA ='1B266C323148'X.
    :EADDDRWTBL.
This lists the escape sequences for drawers higher than drawer #2. In this example, I have drawers 3 & 4 plus 101 and 102 defined. You can have lots of lots of ADDDRWTBLE sections if you have a lot of possible values for the DRAWER parameter. 

When DRAWER(3) it sends ESC&l5H
When DRAWER(4) it sends ESC&l8H
When DRAWER(101) it sends ESC&l20H
When DRAWER(102) it sends ESC&l21H
The tricky part is (in my experience, anyway) figuring out what the escape code that the printer actually needs is. Once you know that, you can either find it or add it to the WSCST source. 

If you'd like details on how the WSCST works, there's a manual on-line:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/topic/books/sc415605.pdf

You'll also find it in the Information Center (V5R3) under
Programming -> Device -> Workstation Customization Programming
(The same manual exists in older information centers, but the links you click might be different).
