HP Laserjet PCL6 and bin selection

D

We have just bought an HP P2015N printer and are sending print to it
directly from DOS in the form of PCL6 code. The software was written
for an old HP Laserjet which only had a manual feed tray and a sheet
feed bin but we where able to get it to select the bin we required.
Our P2015N has an addition sheet feed tray option - what PCL6 code do
we send to select the correct bins? At the moment we can only select
tray 1 and tray 2 but we need to select tray 2 and tray 3.

The PCL tray select commands are shown here (long URL, watch out for
