Variable ORIENTATION OUTBIN OUTLINEPOINTSIZE PAGEPROTECT PALETTESOURCE General PJL Environment Variables Description Page orientation. Sets the default output bin. (For HP LaserJet 4Si, 4SiMx, 4000 series, 5Si, 5SiMx, 5Si Mopier printers, the UPPER output bin is a face-down, correct-order bin. The LOWER output bin is a face-up reverse-order bin.) Sets the point size used by PCL-XL to switch from printing characters as bitmaps to printing them as outlines. Page protection configuration. The page protection feature reserves a block of printer memory to prevent printer overrun errors (error 21) when formatting very dense or complex images, especially HP-GL/2 images. The variable can be set to any legal value at any time, regardless of the current amount of free memory or the currently set resolution. When a job is sent, if there is not enough memory to print correctly with the current resolution and page protection configuration, the system temporarily overrides the resolution and/or page protect values to run the job. In these cases, the job may be printed at 300 dpi without page protection. When the page protection status 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 "Commands that Affect Printer Memory" in Appendix A. Specifies how color settings are derived, either from the device's control-panel settings or through the software application.
