5. JOB SEPARATION COMMANDS 5.1. Introduction This section explains two PJL command, JOB and EOJ. These commands are used to determine the boundaries of a job. When these commands are used with status readback, the printer also can send status information at the beginning and end of each job. 5.2. JOB Command The JOB Command sends information at the start of a PJL job to the printer and aligns the job with the page status information. It also specifies which pages of a job are to be printed. Note: JOB and EOJ command are always used in pairs. You must not use one without the other. Syntax @PJL JOB [NAME = "job name"][START = first page] [END = last page] [PASSWORD = "password"][]  NAME = "job name" This option NAME describes the print job as a job name. Printable characters (ASCII 33-255) and spaces or horizontal tab characters can be used for the job name. It can contain 80 characters max. and must be enclosed in double quotes. If the NAME option is set, the job name is included in the unsolicited job.  START = first page This option START is used to provide a non-printing mode. You can specify from which page printing is to start. If the START option is not set, the printer starts printing at the beginning of the job. first page = 1 to 2,147,483,647 Default value = 1  END = last page The END option indicates the page number of the last page to be printed. If the END option is not set, the printer prints to the end of the job. If the end of job is encountered before the START page, no pages are printed. If the end of job is encountered before the END page, printing terminates. last page = 1 to 2,147,483,647 Default value = prints entire job  PASSWORD = password ( HL-1660e/2060/2400C/2400Ce/3400CN/1650/1670N/3260N/2460/7050/ 1850/1870N/5040/5050/5070N/5140/5150D/5170DN/2600CN/2700CN/3450CN/6050/6050D/6050DN/80 50N/2070N/5240/5250DN/5270DN/5280DW/4040CN/4050CDN/4070CDW/2140/2150N/2170W/5340D/ 5350DN/5370DW/5380DN/3040CN/3045CN/3070CW/3075CW/2130/2240D/2250DN/2270DW/4140CN /4150CDN/4570CDW/5440D/5450DN/5470DW/6180DW/S7000DN/3140CW/3150CDW/3150CDN/317 0CDW/L8250CDN/L8350CDW(T)/L9200CDW(T)/L9300CDW(T)/L8260CDN/L8260CDW/L8360CDW (T)/L9310CDW/L2300/L2300D/L2320D/L2321D/2260/2260D/L2305W/L2340DW/L2360DN/L2361DN/ 2560DN/L2360DW/L2365DW/L2366DW/2569DW/ HL-1212W, 1210W, 1210WR, 1212WR, 1210WE, 1211W, 1218W/L3270CDW/3190CDW/L3230CDW/3160CDW/L3230CDW/L3230CDN/L3210CWonly ) When the password is set by the DEFAULT command, modifying the NVRAM by using the DEFAULT or INITIALIZE commands is locked with the password.

In this case, UEL resets the printer environment to the PJL Current environment, not to the User Default Environment.  If your application supports status readback capabilities, you can monitor the job status by the USTATUS command with the JOB option.  If job status is available and a JOB command is received, the printer returns a job status message. Note: Resetting the page count according to unsolicited page status information does not affect the current page. CHAPTER 5 PJL - 13

CHAPTER 5 PJL - 13
5.
JOB SEPARATION COMMANDS
5.1.
Introduction
This section explains two PJL command,
JOB
and
EOJ
.
These commands are used to determine the
boundaries of a job.
When these commands are used with status readback, the printer also can send status
information at the beginning and end of each job.
5.2.
JOB Command
The
JOB
Command sends information at the start of a PJL job to the printer and aligns the job with the page
status information.
It also specifies which pages of a job are to be printed.
Note:
JOB and EOJ command are always used in pairs.
You must
not use one without the other.
Syntax
@PJL JOB [NAME = "
job name
"][START =
first page
] [END =
last page
]
[PASSWORD = "
password
"][<CR>]<LF>
NAME = "
job name
"
This option NAME describes the print job as a job name.
Printable characters (ASCII 33-255) and spaces or
horizontal tab characters can be used for the job name. It can contain 80 characters max.
and must be
enclosed in double quotes.
If the NAME option is set, the job name is included in the unsolicited job.
START =
first page
This option START is used to provide a non-printing mode.
You can specify from which page printing is to
start.
If the START option is not set, the printer starts printing at the beginning of the job.
first page
= 1 to 2,147,483,647
Default value = 1
END =
last page
The END option indicates the page number of the last page to be printed.
If the END option is not set, the
printer prints to the end of the job.
If the end of job is encountered before the START page, no pages are
printed.
If the end of job is encountered before the END page, printing terminates.
last page
= 1 to 2,147,483,647
Default value = prints entire job
PASSWORD =
password

When the password is set by the DEFAULT command, modifying the NVRAM by using the
DEFAULT
or INITIALIZE commands is locked with the password. Sending the correct password with this command
can unlock this until the EOJ command is executed.
password
= 0 to 65,535
Default value = 0
When the printer receives the
JOB
command, the
UEL
command is not recognized as a job boundary until
an
EOJ
command is received.
If the
UEL
command is placed between the
PJL JOB
and
EOJ
commands, it is handled as a printer
language reset.
In this case,
UEL resets the printer environment to the PJL Current environment, not to the
User Default Environment.
If your application supports status readback capabilities, you can monitor the job status by the
USTATUS
command with the
JOB
option.
If job status is available and a
JOB
command is received, the printer returns a job status message.
Note:
Resetting the page count according to unsolicited page status information does not affect the current page.
