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. 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.
Paper Type The Optra T 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.
