Example 2

This example shows how to set up multiple batch queues.  The first queue will be for reports that go on plain paper, the second will be for letters and envelopes.  The account is site 120 and all reports will be printed at their remote location via the Batch Controller.  When letters are printed, the first page will print on letterhead from tray 2, and the subsequent pages from tray 3.  Envelopes will print from tray 1 (manual feed tray).
