Variable PERSONALITY General PJL Environment Variables Description Sample Value Range 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 "Commands that Affect Printer Memory" in Appendix A. AUTO, PCL, INSTALLED, POSTSCRIPT, ESCP 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. POWERSAVE Enables or disables power-saving feature. ON, OFF POWERSAVETIME Sets the time (in minutes) the printer will 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 remain idle before it enters powersave mode if powersave is on. Environment Commands 6-19
