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"
