General PJL Environment Variables (continued) Variable Description Sample Value Range PAPERLENGTH Sets the length of the paper in decipoints (1/720th of an inch). 0 to 432000 PAPERWIDTH Sets the width of the paper in decipoints 0 to 432000 (1/720th of an inch). PARALLEL Sets the speed of the parallel port. This FAST, SLOW will not take effect until the next power cycle. PASSWORD Default password for PJL security. 0 to 65535 PERSONALITY Personality for implicit switching (implicit AUTO, PCL, switching refers to switching to the INSTALLED, default personality without explicitly POSTSCRIPT, doing so with the @PJL ENTER ESCP command). Note that the value string (PCL, POSTSCRIPT, and so on) for each installed personality is defined by the personality itself. If the AUTO option is selected, and a job is sent without an ENTER LANGUAGE command, the printer looks for context clues to determine which personality takes effect (except in the case of ESC/P, which cannot be selected using context switching). When the personality is changed, memory is reconfigured and all downloaded fonts, PCL macros, and PostScript dictionaries are lost (however, no I/O data is lost). Refer to Appendix A, "Commands that Affect Printer Memory." For the LaserJet 4PJ, this variable is assigned on a per-port basis (see "Port-Specific Variables"). For the DeskJet 1200C, setting this variable to INSTALLED causes the printer to select the default personality from those available. It selects from the available optional personalities before resorting to those available on a standard printer. Reading back the variable identifies the selected variable.

Environment Commands 6-21
PAPERLENGTH
Sets the length of the paper in
decipoints (1/720th of an inch).
0 to 432000
PAPERWIDTH
Sets the width of the paper in decipoints
(1/720th of an inch).
0 to 432000
PARALLEL
Sets the speed of the parallel port. This
will not take effect until the next power
cycle.
FAST, SLOW
PASSWORD
Default password for PJL security.
0 to 65535
PERSONALITY
Personality for implicit switching (implicit
switching refers to switching to the
default personality without explicitly
doing so with the @PJL ENTER
command). Note that the value string
(PCL, POSTSCRIPT, and so on) for
each installed personality is defined by
the personality itself. If the AUTO option
is selected, and a job is sent without an
ENTER LANGUAGE command, the
printer looks for context clues to
determine which personality takes
effect (except in the case of ESC/P,
which cannot be selected using context
switching). When the personality is
changed, memory is reconfigured and
all downloaded fonts, PCL macros, and
PostScript dictionaries are lost
(however, no I/O data is lost). Refer to
Appendix A, “Commands that Affect
Printer Memory.”
For the LaserJet 4PJ
, this variable is
assigned on a per-port basis (see
“Port-Specific Variables”).
For the DeskJet 1200C
, setting this
variable to INSTALLED causes the
printer to select the default personality
from those available. It selects from the
available optional personalities before
resorting to those available on a
standard printer. Reading back the
variable identifies the selected variable.
