Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming
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 –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.
Since 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. Please refer to the manual to determine appropriate
responses.
