PJL Overview
Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the
standard Printer Command Language (PCL). With standard ECP cabling, PJL allows
the printer to perform functions such as:
•
Two-way communication
with the host computer through a bi-directional Parallel
connection. The printer can tell the host such things as the control panel status.
•
Isolation of print environment settings
from one print job to the next. For
example, if a print job is sent to the printer in landscape mode, the subsequent
print jobs print in landscape only if they are formatted for landscape printing.
