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 printers that support the DISPLAY variable, 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. Since the JOB command causes a reset condition, any SET commands must be positioned after the JOB command.
