YES!!!

And, thank you. I could not understand what the difference between *HP4 and *LEXOPTRAT was. That had me in the rut of not making a change, Quite a few printers where I work are *HP5SI. I know of one other that is *HP4, which, ironically, I set up some months ago after looking at the IBM ASCII printer support page. Sometimes, I feel really old.........

I had flubbed the parameter on the OVRPRTF. Odd, but I tried it without
the OPNSCOPE (which should have been OVRSCOPE) and was careful to not
trigger a new level. But, nothing routed to the proper tray. At least,
that was what I was told. Changed the OVRSCOPE and it seemed to work.

What I do not understand is why spool files parked at the bypass tray.
Our resident Xerox person told me that tray priority (his wording, which
makes me wonder) "...Tray priority is usually 3,4,1,2. I don't see
anything on my end that would cause a bypass tray priority.". Said he
checked it. But, the "Usually" leaves me in doubt.....

Just tried changing model to *LEXOPTRAT - not wscst. I saw it appear
briefly on the printer web page and I was told it worked. But, on further
reflection, I am not sure it did. I still have an ovrprtf in force to
select the drawer. ......... Tried it again, without the OVRPRTF. I was
told that it came out landscape and did not stop at the bypass tray.

Learning all the time.....


Thanks.

Generally speaking, the *wscst model has a great deal of bearing on what
might or might not work.

There are mods to *wscst that are not for the faint of heart, that can
work
and it seems to assume a pretty good knowledge of pcl5 programming.

That printer does not seem to have much in the way of support....

Have you tried using them *lexoptrat wscst ???

The ovrprtf is the correct way to handle the drawer but it assumes it's
working with a IBM printer of some sort or one that is made to look
like an IBM or Lexmark.

You "have to" get a wscst that works with that printer in my opinion and
that
looks limited to *lexoptrat or *hp....

Started to work on the WSCST. Had "bright idea" to test drawer select.
I did

OVRPRTF FILE(QPSUPRTF) DRAWER(4) OPNSCOPE(*JOB)

Tried the above with 2 and 3 for the drawer as well.

sent a single page source program to print. All three attempts drew
paper from the bypass tray.

Does drawer not work?

Looking at the printer web page, trays 2, 3, and 4 show as 8.5 x 11
plain paper. Bypass tray shows as 11 x 17 tabloid envelope.

Does this mean that I can't test with OVRPRTF and only can do WSCST for
tray select - or I have OVRPRTF incorrect?
