Using an ASCII PJL escape sequence to set security
If you decide to use the ASCII escape sequence, you must use an MS-DOS

editor to create the commands. The commands must also be sent to the printer by using a DOS
COPY command or an ASCII file download utility. The PJL Technical Reference Manual is located
on CD-ROM, part number 5961-0976. Order a copy of this manual from the HP website at
