That's exactly what I'm trying to do...half-sheets in the manual feed tray. What kind of printer are you using and what settings are you using on the printer: - Tray 1 Mode? - Tray 1 Size? - Tray 1 Type? I'm using an HP Laserjet 4100. I added your code to the NPR report and then on the printer, I set 'Tray 1 Mode' to Cassette but the printer choked on the paper (I think because it was expecting letter size rather than a half-sheet). So I added D(27)_"&l101A"^! to the report to tell the printer to use Custom as the paper size and then on the printer I set 'Tray 1 Size' to Custom and that worked except, the overlay that comes from FastForms stopped printing.

>>> "Stewart, Donald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/6/2007 9:51 AM >>> We do this here at Upson Regional. We leave our "half sheets" of labels in the manual feed tray in Registration. This the code I use in our NPR to print them without manual intervention: AL START D(27)_"&l4H"^! You could also use this in an AL BEFORE.PRINT D(27)_"&l4H"^! Hope this helps, Donald F.

Gordon St. Thomaston, GA 30286 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen MIS Costa Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 2:08 PM To: Meditech-l 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.
