[. . . ] HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers accomplish "tray locking" using the Alphanumeric ID command to select the paper tray by media type. Table 2-15 lists the PCL feature additions for HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers. 2-74 Printer-Specific Differences ENWW Table 2-11. PCL Feature Additions for HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx Printers Feature Paper (Media) Source Status Modified Comments Additional parameters have been added to provide support for Tray 1, the printer's right side multi-purpose tray and the other optional trays (see the description of this command in the following paragraphs). The Output Bin command (?&l#G) selects the destination bin for the print job. Specifies alphanumeric String IDs for selecting and manipulating fonts, macros, and media types. Specifies media selection by the type of media and supports enhancements for the printer disk drive. Output Bin Alphanumeric ID Modified New Descriptions of the Paper (Media) Source, Output Bin, and Alphanumeric ID commands are provided below. Paper (Media) Source Command The Paper (Media) Source command selects the specified input media source. Parameters have been added to enable printing from the LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx printer trays. ?&l#H #= 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 - 39 Print current page (source is unchanged) Tray 2 (upper drawer) Manual feed (tray 1, right side tray) Manual envelope feed (tray 1, right tray) Tray 3 (lower drawer) High Capacity Input (HCI), first tray Optional envelope feeder Autoselect Tray 1 (right side tray) High Capacity Input (HCI) trays 2- 21 Default = 7 Range = 0 to 8, 20 - 39 ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-75 The following table compares the paper/media source values and the trays they select on various printers.

Instead, it is preferred that the PJL OUTBIN command be used to set the default media destination. ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-77 Alphanumeric ID Command The Alphanumeric ID command performs several different functions depending on the operation specified. This command: · Specifies the type of print media on which to print a job (rather than specifying its location) · Specifies an ID string for different PCL objects (fonts and macros) · Supports the mass storage PCL enhancements for the LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx printer disk (allowing, for example, downloading a font with a String ID to RAM--downloading to the printer disk must be done using PJL) The format of the Alphanumeric ID command is as follows: ?&n#W[Operation][String ID] # - Number of bytes of String ID data Default = 0 Range = 2 to 512 The value field (#) identifies the number of bytes in the String ID. The Operation byte determines the type of operation and the type of object on which the operation is to be performed. The operations are listed in the table below. The String ID begins with the second byte and can be up to 511 characters long. 2-78 Printer-Specific Differences ENWW Operation 0 Description Sets the current Font ID to the given String ID. This operation allows the user to set the current PCL Font ID to a string name, which gives the user the ability to download fonts to a string name. If the current Font ID has been set with both the Alphanumeric ID command and the Font ID command (?*c#D), the ID last sent takes precedence. For example, if the current font ID was set to 10 and then to "Font1", the current font ID would be "Font1". Associates the current Font ID to the font with the String ID supplied. This operation finds the font with the supplied String ID and assigns the current Font ID to that font so that the font now has two names. The original font name is used to perform font management commands on the font, and the new associated name is used when selecting the font for usage. Note that since fonts with string names can be associated to numeric Font IDs, these fonts are selectable in HP-GL/2 using the numeric Font ID. Selects the font referred to by the String ID as primary. This operation finds the associated font using the supplied String ID and specifies that font as the current primary font.
