7079.0. "lps17 tray automatic failover feature query ." by GIDDAY::SHCHIU () Wed Feb 12 1997 22:19

    
     axp/vms v6.2
     dcps v1.3
     lps v5.1-15
    
    Can someone tell me for lps17/600 printer, the feature for
     automatic failover from  upper tray  to lcit and vice versa, 
     does it need to be manually set, or it comes by default  ?
    
     The reason I ask, one of my customer, that automatic failover
     from upper tray to lower tray does not function anymore, and 
     it just stay on current tray .  And I tested on my lpa17 here,
     I do not see the same problem .

    Stanley,
    
    	The automatic tray failover is enabled in the printers defaults
    file. Edit the file LPS$SUPPORT:LPSDEFAULTS.'node_name_of_printer'. In
    the postscript level2 section is option called trayswitch, notice:
    
    isLPS17
    {
      /OutputType (Top)                     % Default output tray.
                                            % Top = top output tray
                                            % Side = side output tray (for
    selecting
                                            % output stacker or face-up
    tray)
    
      /TraySwitch true                      % Controls input tray failover.
                                            % false = disable
                                            % true = enable
    Most likely the customer had been using the upper tray for special
    forms and disables trayswitch. Just change "false" to "true" in the
    file. Then using priviledged mode in the LPS$CONSOLE, enter the
    reconfig command. This will reload the defaults file, or just reboot
    the printer.
