There is a command called papertray. Look in the suppliment for your
laserprinter. It is generaly found in the back of the manuage. There is
generaly a command called legal or letter that sets the imageable
size of the paper. by sending the command legal, the printer will image on
a legal piece of paper. Settray is diffrent on diffrent printers, but in
general it selects a paper try of a given size. Again, you will have to look
in the suppliment section of the manual for your particular printer.
