Guide to Printers and Printing
Paper Size Paper size selection is supported by using either one or both of the qprt
command flags, –O and –Q. The –O flag controls paper versus envelope.
A value of 3 indicates a paper size and 4 an envelope size. The values 1
and 2 were skipped for backward compatibility. Envelopes are only valid for
manual feed, envelope feeder, or the multipurpose tray. The default for –Q
is 1 or Letter for paper sizes and 3 or Com 10 for envelope sizes. To
change the defaults change the s0 – s7 attributes respectively for each of
the valid input sources. Because manual feed and the multipurpose tray
support both paper and envelopes, the default for paper is the ”else” part
(%e1) and the default for envelopes is the ”then” part (%t3) of s0 and s7.

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.
