Document Summary

D This document provides PJL commands that can be used to control the paper handling aspects of

the LJ M5035mfp.

D It provides PCL 5e tray commands for selecting trays.

What is it?

PJL commands can be sent to the MFP to enable specific functionality of a particular paper­handling device. The majority of these commands can only be sent to the printer on a "job by
job" basis. Some commands can control this behavior as a "default" command. The PJL
Stapling commands listed below are specific to M5035 XS model. The destination commands
are applicable to all models of the M5025/5035. Also contained in this document are two
default destination commands and the PCL commands for tray selections.

How does it work?

===========================================================================

STAPLING: Stapling will be performed on the top left hand corner of a portrait
orientated document that is fed thorough the paper path of the device in the long edge
fashion. If the documents orientation is selected as landscape and the paper is fed
through the paper path in a long edge fashion, the staple will be placed in the top right
hand corner. NOTE: See explanation of Letter and Letter R at the end of this document.

Limitations of stapling with the XS model
There are certain hardware limitations found with the stapling mechanism of the
M5035XS. These limitations are listed below:
