Splitting the pages of a document between printer trays.

[Big_Lew]

Hello

I have a customer who would like a document to print the first page to
one of the printer trays and the rest of the pages to another.

Is this possible?

Thank you for any help.

The tray settings for "First page" and "Other pages" are on the Paper tab of
the Page Setup dialog. Applies only to trays of a given printer, not
different printers, and the settings are document-specific (like everything
else in the Page Setup dialog), not global.

The answer depends on whether the printer understands either
PostScript or HP's PCL (Printer Control Language). If it doesn't
handle either, then the answer is no. If it does handle one of them,
you can embed a PRINT field in the document at the end of page 1 to
change trays. See
