I have a QMS 2220 PS Printer on evaluation (for its 11X17 capibility) and it
is currently set to feed from the bottom tray (11X17) only.  The top tray is 
8 1/2X11 and I'd like to select from that tray on demand.  The QMS manual
states the following commands for selecting the papertray;

paperfamily 'int'	US or Metric sizes

papertray 'int'		select which tray.  1 for lower, 2 for upper and 3
			for the auxillary feed.

'int' setpapertray	sets the papertray and image area according to paper
			size.

I've tried including a 

2 setpapertray

in my file with no luck.  Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing wrong and/or
where to place the papertray selection command.  I'm a novice at PostScript 
so I'll  apoligize in advance if I bore you.


			Thanks, al
