JOB Command The JOB command informs the printer of the start of a PJL
job and synchronizes the job and page status information. It
also is used to specify which pages of a job are printed. Use
the JOB/EOJ commands for spooling and related
applications to monitor printing status, name a job, print
portions of a job, or to mark job boundaries to keep the
printer from treating a single print job as multiple jobs (for
example, when printing a job with a banner page). Also, in
jobs sent to those printers supporting the PASSWORD
option, use a JOB command to specify the correct password.
For LaserJet 4000 series printers, the JOB command can
be used to display a control panel message while printing
the job.
Note The JOB and EOJ commands always are used in pairs. Do
not use one without the other.
