Syntax
 
Printer.PaperBin = vsPaperBinSettings
 
Description
Returns or sets the paper bin to use.
 
The default value for this property depends on the printer driver and the current printer settings.
 
This property relies on the printer driver, and may or may not be available on a particular printer. After setting this property, read it back to make sure the driver made the change, or check the Error property. If it is set to vperDeviceIncapable (7), then the printer does not support the selected setting and you should take appropriate action.
 
You can determine which bins are available on the current device by reading the PaperBins property.
