I used to use the following two sets of instructions to switch between trays
on a NEC. It's been a long time, so I don't remember which one set which
tray (believe 0 sets the default tray).
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin 0 setdefaultpapertray
and
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin 1 setdefaultpapertray
They either have to be the first thing in a document and in PostScript style
in Word or you can send them using SendPS or any PostScript utility before
sending your document. It's a kludge, but it works.
