*DocuPrint implements the Paper Source command by
corresponding the number specified in the command to the
correlating media in the media list of the Media document
attribute. Therefore, the "Feed from upper tray" command
specifies the first media in a media list in the document attribute
and the "Feed from lower tray" command specifies the fourth
media in a media list in the document attribute. Refer to the “PCL
Paper Source command” section for more information.

PCL Job Separation command
PCL uses the Job Separation command (<ESC>&l1T) to
separate distinct portions of the output by offsetting a set of
sheets in the output from a succeeding set of sheets.
There is a short description of the PCL Job Separation command
in the HP documentation. This command is only supported on
the HP LaserJet IIISi. HP recommends that the Job Separation
command be included at the end of each job. There is no
mention of possible side effects when this practice is not
followed.
This PCL Job Separation command description is based on the
printing behavior observed on the HP LaserJet IIISi. Job
Separation toggles the output tray offset. It is primarily a printer
hardware function. There were no observed page processing
effects.
The PCL Job Separation command has these major features:
• The Job Separation command operates independent of all
other PCL commands. This command is the only PCL
command that changes the output tray offset.
• The Job Separation command toggles the output tray offset.
The output tray offset is switched between two positions. This
command does not set the output tray offset to a specific
position.
• The Job Separation command sends a hardware command
to toggle the output tray offset that is executed immediately.
• The Job Separation command takes effect on the current
page that is being processed. It will be observed when this
page is ejected.
