printing from different trays

[Jaman]

I have a 3 page letter that will be used for a merge to create 50+ letters.
Is there a way to configure the original letter, the merged letter of 50+
copies, or the printer so it will print all page ones on the letterhead in
tray 3 and all pages two and three on the plain paper in tray 2???

If you run the following macro when a document produced by executing the
merge to a new document, it will send each of the 50+ letters to the printer
as a separate print job. Therefore, if you can configure the printer to
take the first page of each print job from tray 3 and the following pages of
each print job from tray 2, you should get what you want.
