[comp.sys.next] Manual Feed / Page Ordering questions.

dnanian@uw.com (Dave Nanian) (05/29/91)

I've sort of asked these questions indirectly before, so excuse the  
semi-duplicate post.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the NeXT printer to switch to ManualFeed in  
the middle of a document.  I've determined that placing:

%%Feature: *ManualFeed True

in the %%BeginSetup section of the document turns on manual feed for the entire  
document, but placing this at the start of the page doesn't do anything.

I've tried using the method in the new PostScript manual, but it seems that  
said manual describes a more recent version of PostScript, as the operators  
aren't recognized.

Along the same lines, there doesn't seem to be any way to suppress page  
reversing other than removing the %%Page comments (and basically making the  
document non-conforming).  I tried using:

%%Feature:  *PageOrder Special

and

%%PageOrder: Special

but neither worked.

I'm about ready to give up, but before I do, can anyone out there help out?

Thanks in advance!
