The above codes represent:

     Tray 1:  ESC & l 0 H
     Tray 2:  ESC & l 1 H
     Tray 3:  ESC & l 5 H

BTW, a Google search for "pcl tray select" find the following thread:
     http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1271634&page=3
with a reply by our friend Jim Asman.

And, some further searching shows that the codes are, indeed, "device 
dependent".  I guess you'll need to find docs specific to your printer, or 
simply experiment with different numeric values until you find the right one 
for your particular printer.
