HP 5100tn Printer Job Language - Technical Reference Manual - Page 31

Some Sample PJL Jobs This section consists of two basic PJL jobs that illustrate how to use PJL. The first job changes a few printer control panel settings and prints a PCL file. The second job prints a PCL file followed by a PostScript file. (The ~ symbol indicates that the command line is actually part of the previous line.) Example: Changing Control Panel Settings This example simulates using PJL to control printer features that are not available in a particular application program. In this case, the features to be modified are the number of copies and the Resolution Enhancement technology setting. %-12345X@PJL COMMENT *Start Job* @PJL JOB NAME = "Sample Job #1" @PJL SET COPIES = 3 @PJL SET RET = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL E. . . .
