Yeah - doing that now.. Sorry I meant to ask -
What if the combination of Letterhead v Plain Paper tray changes per page
sequence ? (example below)
<areaTree>
<pageSequence>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P1" nr="1" formatted-nr="1"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 2
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P2" nr="2" formatted-nr="2"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 1
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P3" nr="3" formatted-nr="3"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 1
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P4" nr="4" formatted-nr="4"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 1
</page>
</pageViewport>
</pageSequence>
<pageSequence>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P5" nr="5" formatted-nr="5"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 1
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P6" nr="6" formatted-nr="6"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 1
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P7" nr="7" formatted-nr="7"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 2
</page>
</pageViewport>
<pageViewport bounds="0 0 595275 841889" key="P8" nr="8" formatted-nr="8"
simple-page-master-name="basicPage">
<page> <--- Tray 2
</page>
</pageViewport>
</pageSequence>
</areaTree>
(obviously duplexing I will have to test.. am downloading the FOP source now..
(not that I'm a java programmer ;))
I really do appreciate your help by the way - in the last few days I have made
heaps of progress thanks to your combined efforts -
Thanks again,
Martin.

Subject: Re: best format for high speed printing
The tray selection extension just results in a command in PCL. If that
works with changing duplexing, I don't know. You'll have to do some
experiments.
