DISCLAIMER:  Based on Redbook entries for the original LaserWriter

You might try the following

	statusdict begin /manualfeed true def end

There is also a variable, manualfeedtimeout, that controls the number
of seconds the LaserWriter will wait for a page to be inserted.
The default is usually 60 seconds.  To change it you would use
something like

	statusdict begin /manualfeedtimeout 30 def end

Hope this helps,
