dvips: Paper trays

 
 4.3 Paper trays
 ===============
 
 Some printers, such as the Hewlett-Packard HP4si, have multiple paper
 trays.  You can set up Dvips to take advantage of this using the
 'bop-hook' PostScript variable (⇒PostScript hooks).
 
    For example, suppose you have an alternate tray stocked with
 letterhead paper; the usual tray has the usual paper.  You have a
 document where you want the first page printed on letterhead, and the
 remaining pages on the usual paper.  You can create a header file, say
 'firstletterhead.PS', with the following (PostScript) code ('bop-hook'
 is passed the current physical page number, which starts at zero):
 
      /bop-hook { dup 0 eq { ALTERNATETRAY } { NORMALTRAY } ifelse } def
 
 where ALTERNATETRAY and NORMALTRAY are the appropriate commands to
 select the paper trays.  On the 4SI, ALTERNATETRAY is 'statusdict begin
 1 setpapertray end' and NORMALTRAY is 'statusdict begin 0 setpapertray
 end'.
 
    Then, include the file with either
    * the '-h' command-line option (⇒Option details); or
 
    * the 'h' config file option (⇒Configuration file commands);
      or
 
    * '\special{header=FILE}' in your TeX document (⇒Including
      headers from TeX Including headers from TeX.).
