/*
* Control NexPress trays:
* For NexPress digital color printing machines, create some special kind of
* annotations to control the input tray.
*
* Use the "custom" option of create_annotation() to create a "Stamp" annotation
* with NexPress-specific custom extensions.
* The "P" in "PDF" means "Portable", which excludes the use of device-specific
* parameters such as tray control. This technique is not really in the spirit
* of portable PDF documents, but NexPress digital printing machines expect it
* this way nevertheless.
*
* The annotation is created outside the page area to ensure that it won't
* be visible on the printed page.
*
* Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
* Required data: none
