General PJL
Environment
Variables
The following table lists the PJL environment variables
that are not printer language-specific. When you use these
variables, do not use the LPARM : personality option. The
range of values for each variable may differ for the various
printer models. Appendix A lists the environment variables
and indicates which printers support each variable. Another
method of obtaining a list of valid variables and the range
of values for each variable is to send the INFO VARIABLES
command to request this information directly from the
printer. See the INFO command in Chapter 7 for more
information. You can find valuable information about
environment variables in the control panel sections of the
user’s manual for each printer.
Note Some environment variables can be modified using the
DEFAULT command but not the SET command, some can
be SET but not modified using DEFAULT, and some are
read only variables. Appendix A lists environment
variables, including read only variables, for all of the PJL
printers.
