Hi!  We are trying to work with switching printer trays and are
having some problems.

We are using a Dataproducts LZR-1200 based printer.  We have 3 print
trays.  There is some code that comes with either TransScript or
the printer which is downloaded to the printers to switch trays
when they run out of paper.

Recently we starting putting some alternate style paper in the 3rd
tray and downloaded code to print the banner pages from this tray.
Things work great until tray 1 runs out of paper.  What happens then
is that the banner page is printed from tray 3, the printer tries to
go to tray 1 for pages, does not find any, and, instead of going
to tray 2, goes back to tray 3.  This is not what we want, but we
are unable to figure out why it is happening.

Anyone familar enough with this sort of thing to know what to look
for in getting the trays to switch from 1 to 2?
