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. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 2 June 2008 7:10 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org 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.
