Compatibility Operator Descriptions
The compatibility operators described in this section deal with paper size and paper tray
sizes. The various tray sizes are represented with a tray slot number. The tray slot
numbers and the associated tray descriptions are listed in Table 3-3.
defaultmultipurposetraysize 3
Syntax – defaultmultipurposetraysize name bool
Definition This operator returns the name of the default multipurpose paper
tray. The Boolean value bool is true if the paper feeds short edge
first. It is false, if it feeds long edge first. The Boolean value is
always true, because paper only feeds into the LaserWriter 16/600
PS printer short edge first.

Syntax – defaultpapertray int
Definition This operator returns an integer that is the first element in the
Priority array of the InputAttributes dictionary found
within the current page device. This value represents the default
paper tray slot, which may or may not be installed. If there is no
Priority array within the InputAttributes array at the time
defaultpapertray is called, an arbitrary slot number is returned.
