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.

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,

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.
