You need to look at your PPD for this printer. Also, most DocuTech/DocuColors support Xerox's comment-based job-ticketing. You prepend the PostScript with comments in the form of "%%XRXSomeSetting". You'll need to find documenation for this, too, to see if your particular printer supports this method of job ticketing.

I searched Xerox (their search engine/site navigation is very, very bad. Almost as bad as Adobe's) but did find this link:

Looking through the PPD, it appears that you have to use a Fiery RIP, and that instead of setpagedevice, this system uses a custom PostScript dictionary, where trays are selected by passing in strings such as "(printerinfo trayselect 1)".

I would guess that this PostScript dictionary is built-in to the RIP.

So try this command and see if selects Tray 2:

(printerinfo trayselect 2) =string 
FieryXJdict /ExtCmdGetExec get exec {pop} if
