Definition

This operator tells the interpreter what paper size is installed in the
multipurpose tray. Because the printer engine cannot sense this
information, operators that need to know paper size refer to the value
stored by this operator.

This operator must be executed outside the server loop.

The name operand is the name of one of the standard device setup
procedures: /letter, /legal, /a4, /b5, /executive page,
/a5, /com10, /monarch, /c5,

or /dl.

The procedures /lettersmall and /a4small are not allowed.

The value of the pagetype operator controls whether or not the page
is small.

The bool parameter is included for compatibility with other PostScript
printers. It specifies whether the paper is to be fed long edge first or short
edge first. For all paper sizes on the LaserWriter Select 310 printer, the
value of bool must be true, which means the short edge is fed first.
