The "data_tray" directive is wiped out by any subsequent setup or
environment file (and bear in mind, if no setup or environment, MPE
supplies you a landscape-mode 132 col x 66 line default) as they
generally begin with a hard reset, putting the printer back to default.
The "banner_tray" does work (no setup).

The alternative, as someone else replied, is to put the tray selection
PCL code in a setup file and use it.  You will also have to experiment
with the PCL codes and your particular printer's trays; it isn't exactly
intuitive which numbers go with which trays.
