Re: Source Drawer 1

Because DRAWER(1) is the default, when IBM created the MFRTYPMDL(*HPxx) they sent drawer 1 to whatever was expected to be the default on the printer.

Most HP printers use drawer 1 for the manual sheet feed tray. And drawer 2 is the "normal" paper tray, so IBM defaults DRAWER(1) to go to drawer 2 on the printer...

You can change this by creating a WSCST object for your printer, and tweaking the hex codes for the drawers.

Where does the logic lie that tells the printer not to use drawer 1, the
manual feed tray; but use drawer 2 (or 3) instead?
