You want to send the following codes to the printer.
<&l2H         for tray 2
<&l4H         for tray 1
Note that I've converted the escape the escape characters to the "less
than" sign. You've got to change it back.



The following is some more control codes. Send me email if you don't
understand.

The # sign is a place-holder for numberic parameters

           PAGE CONTROL COMMANDS

<&l#H      Paper Source
           0=prints or eject current page
           1=Tray 2
           2=manual feed, paper
           3=manual feed, envelope
           4=Tray 1

<&l#A      Paper size
           1=Executive             101=Custom
           2=Letter                80=Monarch
           3=Legal                 81=Commercial 10
           26=A4                   90=DL
           100=Commercial B5       91=International C5

<&l#O      Orientation
           0=Potrait               2=Reverse Portrait
           1=Landscape             3=Reverse Landscape

<&l#E      Top Margin
           #=number of lines

<&l#F      Text Length (bottom margin)
           #=number of lines from top margin

<&a#L      Left Margin
           #=column number

<&a#M      Right Margin
           #=column number from left margin

<&k#H      Horizontal Motion Index
           1/120-inch increments (compresses print horizontally)

           Specifies the horizontal shift between columns. The actual
fonts
           are not flattened. Therefore if you specify 2/120 inch per
column
           the text will print on top of each other and become
illegible.

<&l#C      Vertical Motion Index
           1/48-inch increments (compresses print vertically)
           Vertical distance between lines
           eg <&l48C =  1 lines per inch
              <&l8C  = 48/8 = 6 lines per inch
              <&l6C  = 48/6 = 8 lines per inch

<&l#D      Line Spacing
           #=lines per inch (1,2,3,4,5,6,12,16,24,48)

<&a#P      Print Direction
           #=degrees of rotation (counterclockwise 90 deg increments
only)

           CURSOR POSITIONING

<&a#R      Vertical Position (Rows)

<&a#C      Horizontal Position (Rows)

<*p#Y      Vertical Position (Dots)

<*p#X      Horizontal Position (Dots)

           Example:
           <*p0Y<*p0X+
           <*p2000Y<*p0X+
           gotoxy() function in PCL

<&a#V      Vertical Position (Decipoints)

<&a#H      Horizontal Position (Decipoints)
