Hi,

we search for a solution (pcl-esc-sequences) for print a copy of a page on a
different tray.
I know how to print on the different trays via esc-commands and how to print
X-copies ...
But i want to print 1 job which comes out first on tray-X and a copy which
is printed on tray-Y

Anyone got a solution for this?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Hans

Hans,

where is the problem? Just include the esc-sequence for the first
tray at the start of your job. Then data first time. Then the
sequence for the 2nd tray. Printer will give the first page (into
first tray) then collect the data for 2nd page. And print it after
you send him a "change to first tray" sequence. AFAIK these
sequences work on the data sent after them and the first they do is
to print a page with all data sent before (if there is any, so you
can avoid the first page by clearing all data with reset if there
may be data).
If you don't want to generate the data to print twice, just send it
to a file before and print this twice. AFAIK there is no "make copy
to another tray" function in pcl and no simple printer will do this.
We use the above method for copies on different paper getting from
different paper sources, but that's the same way as different trays.
