Media or paper tray selection in FOP for AFP rendering

I have seen some discussion in 2006 in this forum about Media or paper tray
selection in FOP. There were some proposals but I haven't seen any
documentation in the latest version regarding this issue (other than
postscript extensions) Is there a way to specify media/tray selection in FOP
for AFP rendering?
Thanks.

Hi Vijay,

sorry for chiming in late to this thread, but there is the 
invoke-medium-map extension that was recently added to FOP Trunk to 
provide limited support for paper tray selection. I don't know if its 
enough for all use cases but may be sufficient for you:

Thanks,

Hi Vijay,

There is a specialist AFP list at http://lists.topica.com/lists/afp-l that
you can subscribe to.  Its not a very active list but there are a lot of
knowledgeable subscribers who work at IBM and Infoprint Solutions Company
who may be able to help you.  Good luck.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my request. We will go
through the reference material suggested by you. Is this the right forum to
post any FOP/AFP related questions. I do have a few more issues we are
trying to resolve and wondering if there is another forum for these specific
issues.

Thank you,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Sorry to hear you are new to the AFP format, you have a lot of reading 
to do! :-).  Also apologies for the delay in getting back to you but I 
really have no free time at the moment.

First of all I'd recommend you take a look at 
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/AFPResources.  Follow the link 
http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/public/applications/publications/cgibin/pbi.cgi 
on this page and enter publication reference SC31-6802-06 to download 
the MO:DCA reference guide.  I suggest you take a look at Begin Medium 
Map (see page 122), and Map Media Type structured field (see page 260) 
and also Media Type Identifiers in the MO:DCA Registry (see page 544) - 
I say, what a lovely, easy to read reference guide... ;-).  Hope this 
points you in the right direction and good luck!

Adrian.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. We are very new to AFP format and
if possible pointers to detailed instructions/documntation/ideas will be
greatly helpful.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is currently no support for this.  I have no time at the moment to
implement this feature, but let me know if you would like some pointers and
I'll try to help.
