Printing a series of numbers

[DunbarX at aol.com]

I do not understand.

If the fact that the tray is empty can tell you to load new paper, then why 
can't the fact that you just printed 200 sheets tell you to load new paper? 
The unused sheets are invisible. They are there only to allow Rev to manage 
the process, not the printer. They are a buffer.

In other words, you want a certain event, the fact that the tray is empty, 
to signal you to reload. I suggest that a different event, the fact that you 
just printed 200 sheets, can signal you to reload just as well.   That 
there will always be unused sheets below the continuous batches of 200 working 
sheets is irrelevant, and it does not matter how many unused sheets sit 
there.

Imagine you had a paper tray that could hold 1,000,000 sheets. You hit a 
button in your application that prints 200, and you have to hit that button 
over and over to start each new batch of 200. It does not matter that you 
never empty the tray. But you get as many sheets as you need, all numbered 
correctly. And you don't have to count the paper, you just have to make sure that 
you reload the tray fully.
