Explanation
The EnumPaperBinsVariant method retrieves the supported paper tray names and tray numbers from the printer designated by the printer name. This method is recommended when using scripting or other languages that require variant types. If you need to know the number of elements in the array, the GetArrayNum method can be used to retrieve this. The BinNames string will be returned as "xxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxx,¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥," (delimited by commas and ends with a comma).

Note: In VB.NET and C#.NET, you cannot retrieve the string for BinNames. Use InvokeMembers instead. For details, please see the code example on EnumPaperBins method.
