- There's an extension called Paper Tray Manager which comes with the TI Micro
- Laser. It's heavily endowed with TI copyright stuff and a TI logo for it's icon
- but it looks awfully like the illustration that Hardware ans Software That Fits
- has in their ad for the RealTech printer. Conclusion: This was written by some
- third party outfit and licensed to these two manufacturers. There may be some
- other way to get hold of it.

- Anyway, what it does is to allow you to toggle between different paper sources
- during a job (it installs its own dialog box like an options dialog off the main
- print dialog). For example you can specify "first page from main paper tray,
- second page from manual feed slot then repeat indefinitely". This is how I set
- it up to do "double-sided" printing. With sufficient intelligence in the
- printer (my Micro Laser uses a "real" level 1 postscript interpreter) you can
- select one of two paper trays, envelope feeder etc. It's my understanding that
- any postscript printer understands manual feed vs paper tray.
