How to select output bin when printing from Word Macro...

[Rarius]

I have a collection of Word macros that control the printing of documents.
These allow me to automatically print from several input bins. An example
option is to print one copy on headed paper and two copies on plain paper.
This is all simple enough I just print three copies and change the
..PageSetup.FirstPageTray and .PageSetup.OtherPageTray values...

My problem is that the printer, a Kyocera FS7000+ now has a 9 tray output
sorter and I need to be able to programatically choose which output bin the
documents go into... I have spent hour trawling the web, MSDN, help, etc.
looking for clues as to how to do this, but no luck.

HELP!

Many thanks in advance!

Phil

PS. I'd be very grateful if you could reply to my email address too

Hi Phil,

here is a solution to list all available trays of a given printer (in
German language):

This only tells me about the INPUT paper trays... I need to control which
OUTPUT bin the document goes into after its been printed

Sorry Phil,

you are right! For KYOCERA printers use the PRESCRIBE commands, see in
your manual. For the output trays it´s something like

!R! SSTK[tray, tray, ...]; EXIT;

What I am trying to do is to set up printing one copy of a multi page
doc from tray one then a second copy of the same multi page doc from
tray two-any ideas
