A-1 Support of Printer Specific Features and Functions
The Fanfold Laser Printer provides programming support of Printer Specific Features
and Functions. These Functions are implemented with special Printer Job Language
commands. The following hints show in combination with application examples how
to use and program these functions:
A-1.1 Profiles
The printer can store up to 50 separate printer configuration settings called Profiles.
One profile should be used for one specific application. This application may require
a special setting for the paper format, the paper path, fuser temperature, etc.
In an system environment where the application cannot use a driver to select the
application specific parameters a profile can be selected by means of a specific PJL
command which has to be sent to the printer before sending the print data.
Example:
ESC%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT PROFILE = 5
ESC%-12345X
A-1.2 Paper Size Select
The printer supports paper format A4, Letter and CUSTOM.
With paper format CUSTOM the page size can be set by PJL commands.
These PJL commands have to be sent to the printer before sending the print data.
In the following example (with PJL SET) the paper format selection is only valid for
one PCL application file. After a power off or PJL reset the USER DEFAULT
environment variables are valid:
ESC%-12345X@PJL SET PAPER = CUSTOM
@PJL SET PAGELENGTH = 11 1/3
@PJL SET IMAGEWIDTH = 7.15
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
ESCE......PCL application file.....ESCE
