blank seperator page

[jbeck22]

I use .SEP files found in the winnt\system32 folder in windows 2000 for my seperator page in between print jobs. I do this b/c its the only way I know how to send multiple print jobs and have them seperated.

My question is how do I make a seperator page print with NOTHING on it from a tray that is identified on the printer as being color?

I'm using windows 2000 professional, the printer is connected by a standard printer cable, the printer itself is a HP LaserJet 8100, and I'm using the 5si driver.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

sep pages do not use pcl coding

try here instead

You would have to write a sep page with the appropriate pjl/escape sequences to generate a paper call to the appropriate tray on your printer (see your manual) and then eject the paper
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT = OFF
<ESC>&l1H
<ESC>E
for example
<ESC> is the escape code 1B.
