Paper Size Paper size selection is supported by using –O and –Q flags of the qprt
command. 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. 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.
Paper Type The Optra Se printers support paper types Plain Paper (default), Bond,
Transparency, Card Stock, Labels, Letterhead, Preprinted, Colored
Paper, Envelope (default for envelope feeder) and Custom Type x,
where x can be 1 through 6. This colon file does not attempt to set
these values and will use whatever the printer is set to for that input
source. The user should insure that the proper paper type is actually
installed in the specified source.
