Jerome,
Would it work to make each page a separate print job? Then you keep
sending print jobs until one fails. The next day you just cancel the
last failed job.
Something like:
Print "5"
Print "6"
Print "7"
FAIL
Next day...
Print "8"
That way you are not worrying about detecting "out of paper" in the
middle of a multipage job. You just wait until a 1 page job fails.
Thanks Craig and JB.
My problem is not to reload the tray but to stop printing the number
(and stop increasing numbers) when the tray is empty.
I was probably not clear. Sorry for that but english is not my
native tongue. In my company we receive approximately 300' 000 mails
during a year. Currently we number each mail with a label
preprinted with a number. And we stick the labels to the hand. So,
what I want it is to put all mails received during the day in the
tray of the printer and print a number on each mail and when the
tray is empty, I need to store the last number in my stack and use
this number the following day to start again to number mails.

I do not understand.
If the fact that the tray is empty can tell you to load new paper,
then why
can't the fact that you just printed 200 sheets tell you to load
new paper?
The unused sheets are invisible. They are there only to allow Rev
to manage
the process, not the printer. They are a buffer.
In other words, you want a certain event, the fact that the tray is
empty,
to signal you to reload. I suggest that a different event, the fact
that you
just printed 200 sheets, can signal you to reload just as well.
That
there will always be unused sheets below the continuous batches of
200 working
sheets is irrelevant, and it does not matter how many unused sheets
sit
there.
Imagine you had a paper tray that could hold 1,000,000 sheets. You
hit a
button in your application that prints 200, and you have to hit
that button
over and over to start each new batch of 200. It does not matter
that you
never empty the tray. But you get as many sheets as you need, all
numbered
correctly. And you don't have to count the paper, you just have to
make sure that
you reload the tray fully.
