Stephen - Try sending an escape code sequence as part of the report header to select tray 1. At the report footnotes you need to put it in the escape sequence to switch back to the default tray. Our NPR writer is telling me that there is a knowledge base article for it and gave me the following procedure:
Michael LaForge
To select the paper source (paper tray) within a NPR report, use the
following footnote:
AL PRINT D(27)_"&l#H"^!
The second character within quotes is a lower case L and not a one. The #
sign
will be replaced with one of the following:
0 = prints or ejects the current page
1 = Tray 2
2 = manual feed, paper
3 = manual feed, envelope
4 = Tray 1
5 = Tray 3
6 = Envelope Feeder
7 = auto select
8 = Tray 4
20-69 = External Trays
The options above were taken from the common PCL commands for a HP 4000
series printer.
Or another way;
Z program syntax: Z.switch.tray(A)
Description:
Allows the user to print to a designated tray.
Argument A should be equal to the tray identifier.
This program should be called from an AL PRINT footnote.
In addition, the printer tray should be reset by calling it again at AL
CLOSE.UP.
For example, in a footnote on page 3 of the report enter the following:
AL PRINT %Z.switch.tray(3)
AL CLOSE.UP %Z.switch.tray(1)
The report will print to tray 3 and then resets the printer to print from
tray 1.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] selecting 'manual feed' tray
I'm trying to get our RXM prescriptions to print to the manual-feed tray of
a printer that is used for other printing. So I want to use the manual-feed
tray for all prescriptions and only prescriptions. I'm using an HP Laserjet
4100. If I set the tray 1 mode to First, that tray is used for all
printing. If I set the tray 1 mode to Cassette, I'm able to put code
(D(27)_"&n11WdPreprinted"^! or %Z.switch.tray(2)) in the NPR report to
force it to select the manual feed tray but the printer wants the user to
press the GO button on the printer before it will print.
Is there any way I can put special paper in the manual-feed tray and have
the printer only use that paper for RXM prescriptions without the user
having to walk to the printer and press the GO button every time? I know
this can be done for other trays but the manual feed tray doesn't seem to
have the same functionality.
