Steve: I have been successful in printing to multiple trays on a printer (e.g., UB04 claims in the upper tray, regular paper in the lower tray), at least on the HP LaserJet 4150. Meditech states, and also defines in a Knoweldge Base article, that they can't control tray usage, at least in reports that use an ELF, because the ELF characteristics disables or replaces the printer control codes/settings, which would also override the printer's tray definition. So while this is true, there is a way around this with the following steps:
1. Load your special forms in the Upper/Manual tray, and load regular paper in the Lower/bottom tray. 2. In the Windows printer set-up, change the default printer tray to be the Lower Tray. When you print a Meditech form that uses an ELF, like the UB04 claim, the ELF settings override the printers settings, which means that the printer will try to grab paper from the upper/manual tray first if it contains paper (which it will). When you print a regular Meditech report, Word/Excel document, Outlook e-mail, or any other document from a Windows application that doesn't have an ELF override, the system will use the Windows printer default tray setting of Lower Tray. This works great, and my clients love the ability to use the same printer for both types of paper needs. I'm not entirely sure if this solution will work on other printer models because I haven't tried others; but my guess is that it will, since it involves standard Windows/printer characteristics.

I am testing a footnote posted on Meditech Knowledge Base Article 10904 which does not work in Admitting. Is there anyone who prints to a specific tray on HP 4050 printer and willing to share the information. Your help is greatly appreciated.
