Paper Tray Bin Selection macro

[Jean Pereira]

I need to get the number assigned to paper trays on laser printers and
copiers to add this to a macro for bin selection. I believe there may be a
macro to find this out but not sure what this is.

Have tried choosing File, Page Setup whilst running a macro and whilst this
gives me the bin number on the copiers we use, when I put this code in my
current macro, it doesn't select correct bin - just picks from the default
tray.

On our HP laser printers, when I select File, Page Setup, I just get Upper
or Lower Tray in the code. I actually do have the numbers for the printers
from our consultant who wrote the macro, but as we will probably be getting
new models, I would like to know where/how to get the actual bin numbers.

Thanks in advance.
