Paper Type commands
The PCL 5e escape sequence for paper type is "Esc&n#Wdpapertype", where "n#" is the number of characters in the
paper type plus 1. For example, in the sequence "Esc&n6WdPlain", "Plain" has 5 letters plus 1, for a total of 6.
For the command to work properly, at least one of the paper trays in the printer must be configured at the control panel
for the paper type that is used in the command.
