Adding page numbers when concatenating PS files
Add the page numbering to the prun command (I will call the new command pgPrun) something like: /pgNo 1 def % initial page number assignment /pagenoPositionX 30 def % An example, put real X value here /pagenoPositionY 30 def % An example, put real Y value here /pgPrun { /Helvetica 10...- SMS63

Possessive Problem
Given the string is assigned to a variable, say /Str, then: Str Str length 1 sub 1 getinterval (s) eq { /Str Str (') cat def } { /Str Str ('s) cat def } ifelse The code above implies that a catenation operator i.e. S1 S2 cat -> S1S2 is already defined. Hope that this helps- SMS63

Working with javascript
And I would add a good debugger too. For IE and Windows Script Host I would recommend the Microsoft Script Editor (a part of MS Office, you need to explicitly select HTML editting during installation in order to have it installed).

[TRAY] Select different trays in one job
No. 'Yellow' should be paper color tray attribute for a particular tray set through the printer's console (if possible).

Why Post PostScript?
One more reason to use PS instead of PDF is that it supports flexible media control, simpex/duplex control etc. which make a lot of sense in terms of document quality. And - of course - PS easily transforms to PDF unfortunately at the expense of losing the fancy stuff I mentioned before.- SMS63

[TRAY] Select different trays in one job
I would not suggest PJL at all. Use the setpagedevice command to do this (ref. PLRM.pdf by Adobe), i.e. To select color paper or pre-prined forms in simplex inject this line BEFORE the corresponding page in the postscript file: << /MediaColor (yellow) /Duplex false >> setpagedevice You must set...- SMS63
