Need to configure printer for specific trays.

Hi All,

Need your help in configuring the printer trays. My requirement is that when a pirticular print request is sent using a print form for example tray 2. the printer has to select the paper from tray 2 and if there is no paper in tray 2 it should wait for the paper to be loaded in tray 2.

The below are the steps that i have taken till now, but still it is not correct.

I have created a test.TLB file and defined the forms for specific trays the print has to take it.

Below is the procedure that i have user to create the Test.TLB--> kindly advice if i need to change any.
