Using VMS Commands

If you are connected to the printer through a DECnet network, you
can use the VMS PRINT command parameter INPUT_Input bin to
select a paper input bin. The PRINT command syntax for input bin
selection is

$ PRINT/QUEUE=

queue/param=(input=bin

1

,output=

bin

2

)

Replace

queue with the appropriate queue name. Your choices for

bin

1

are top and bottom, and your choices for

bin

2

are top, bottom,

and side. (See the

VMS Interface for QMS Printers manual for com-

plete information about using PRINT parameters.) If you select an
input bin that is empty or has been removed, the printer waits for
more paper to be loaded in the input bin or for the input bin to be
replaced. If you use SHEET_SIZE and INPUT_Input bin, the paper
size specified by SHEET_SIZE must match the paper loaded in
INPUT_Input bin. If it does not, the printer stops printing, displays an
error message, and waits for the correct paper size to be loaded in
the specified input bin.

Selecting Paper by Size

When you use a DOC, VMS, or UNIX paper size selection command,
the printer searches the paper input bins for the matching paper size.
When it finds a match, it uses paper from that input bin to print your
file. If you know a certain size paper has been loaded in one of the
paper input bins, you can use a paper size selection command to
select the input bin containing that paper even if you do not know the
input bin number or name.

Using QMS DOC Commands

The QMS DOC command for selecting paper size is

%%IncludeFeature: input (

size)

Your choices for

size are letter, legal, a4, quarto, commercial,

foolscap, folio, and legalsmall. (See the

QMS Crown Document

Option Commands manual for complete information about using DOC
commands in your files.) If you use a value for

size that is not loaded
