Alex, >> Yea i know that you can set it to mixed bins, and if you lock a tray it should work, but i would call this a "workaround". << Hi again. For whatever reason, in PostScript it seems that one cannot have both automatic bin selection based on size and specific bin selection based on bin number in the same job stream. This may be a PS language limitation–at first, PS could only pick by bin number which was not acceptable for multiple paper source network printers (how does a remote user know which bin has the legal size paper?). So this was grafted on later. So the driver seems to need to set the printer up for what may come later on in the job stream. I think the "fix" has been identified and will show up in new products–this is to be able to classify the paper in each bin by type as well as size (e.g., Letterhead, plain, punched) so that it can be chosen by type rather than having to know which bin number. Much better, IMO. – Dick Minnick [Ford],74417,51 @ 11-May-1995, 23:21:47 EST [Troy, MI]
