Change trays ??

[cruicu]

Hello all!
Does anybody know a method to solve this problem?
I have a ps file produced with Doc1 software for a Xerox printer. This file contain inside commands for variable trays selection (tray 0 and tray 1).
I need to use this file on a IBM 2105 printer but unfortunately these variable selections of trays doesn't work well. The printer takes all pages from one single tray.
How can I do for solving this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Look at your PPD for the IBM 2105 to get the proper setpagedevice statements.

You need to do the following:
(1) Figure out what tray selection keys are used in your file.
(2) Get the new tray selection code from the PPD for IBM 2015.
(3) Redefine setpagedevice operator to convert old keys to new keys.

Don't forget that one rejected key in the setpagedevice dictionary invalidates the whole dictionary.

I also have a problem similar to this with an IBM 1145. I did check the PPD file, but can't manage to find the right code to put in the file to print so it would print the first page on tray 1 and all other pages in tray 2.

Until now I've tried theses codes
Test 1 :
<< /ManualFeed false /MediaPosition null >> setpagedevice
currentpagedevice /InputAttributes get 0 get setpagedevice
<< /InputAttributes << /Priority [0] >> >> setpagedevice
<< /Policies << /PageSize 2 >> >> setpagedevice

Test 2 :
Tray1 statusdict /setpapertray get exec setpagedevice

I've also tested with a lot of other codes that I can't find anymore but everything ended with a RIP-Error message or the pages would print all in the same tray. Any help ?
