Printing FAQ

What are the escape sequences to select the trays on my HP Laser printer?

Back before the dinosaurs died, printers came with manuals that had all this stuff in them. Nowadays, you are lucky if it's on the CD, and if it is, good luck finding it. Here's a few that may help for HPLaserjets:

Hexadecimal Code Decimal Code Octal Code Action
1B 11 27 17 033 021 Standard Tray
1B 15 27 21 033 025 (4050) Standard Tray
1B 14 27 20 033 024 MP Paper Tray
1B 15 27 21 033 025 500 Sheet Tray
1B 18 27 24 033 030 (4050) 500 Sheet Tray
1B 16 27 22 033 026 Optional Envelope Feeder

The octal codes are what you'd probably use in an interface script:



echo "\033\030\c"

    My tea tastes like chlorine. I dumped it out, tried just the teawater. That's fine. Why does my tea taste like chlorine?
