To the best of my knowledge, PDF files cannot store information about
input trays. You have to generate PostScript, and insert calls to
setpagedevice operator into your code.

This is an old extension (from XEP version 2.x), not supported anymore; and
yes, it only worked globally, defining page device parameters for the whole
document.
Right now, XEP has no means to control page device parameters from the
XSL-FO code. (We plan to implement tray switching in the near future).
At the moment, the only option is to postprocess the PostScript output
from XEP. It is relatively simple: each page in XEP's PostScript code
starts with a %%BeginPageSetup / %%EndPageSetup section
that encloses a call to setpagedevice operator that sets paper size.
You can add custom parameters there by e.g. a Perl script.
Best regards,
Nikolai Grigoriev

Subject: PDF Problem !!!
Hello,
I?m a programmer and I create programs for very big (mass) reports. I mean
invoice.
Up to this time all programs I have created in Oracle Reports. Since there
is not possibility interfere in printing document structure by end users I
will have to change the Oracle Report to other software. I would like to
generate my reports to PDF and for this purpose I?m going to use XSL-FO. I
have some problems and I hope you are able to help me.
During printing I have to change input tray of the printer. One of the part
of the pages have to be printed on one of the printers bin/tray the second
part of it have to printed on the other bin/tray of this printer.
For example
page1 should be printed on tray 1
page 2,3 on tray 2
page 4 on tray 1
I found extension element rx:page-device (input-tray) but I suppose this
one can be use only with <fo:root> (for all document). My question is. Do
you know any way to change tray during printing pages from one PDF
document?
Regards,
Janusz
