Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming
Paper Size Paper size selection is supported by using the qprt command flags, –O
and –Q. The –O flag controls paper versus envelope. A –O value of 3
indicates a paper size and 4 an envelope size. The values 1 and 2 were
skipped for backward compatibility. The first five paper sizes are also
numbered for backward compatibility. Whenever an invalid value for the
input source is selected, it will be ignored.
Note: Envelopes are available through Manual and MP Tray only.
The default for –O is 3 or paper. The default for –Q is 1 or Letter for
paper sizes and Monarch for envelope sizes.

Note: The printer file (lexOptraC1200.pcl) for PCL 5 defaults the paper
size to letter. To change the default size, change the values for the
s0–s3 attributes in the file respectively for the _u (paper source)
attributes. For example, to make legal the default size for tray 2 change
the s2 attribute value to 2.
SPECIAL NOTE: For PCL queues, if the selected size is not in the
selected input source, a search sequence will be used to find the size
requested. If the size is found that source will be used. For PostScript
queues, if the selected size is not in the selected input source, the
printer will prompt the user to load the source with the appropriate size.
This may result in an unexpected paper source being used or an
op–panel message that may not make sense at first. See the manual to
determine appropriate responses.
