Introduction—

About PJL

Printer Job Language (PJL) enables advanced users and software applica­tion developers to send commands to the printer and receive printer status.
This allows you to control the printer’s configuration for a print job and to
establish two-way communications with the printer. In addition, PJL com­mands can be used to change the printer’s control panel settings and to
change the printing language from within applications.

In This Guide

This PJL Reference Guide contains information about the PJL commands
that are supported by your printer. Section 1 provides a general introduction
to PJL. Section 2 contains the full list of PJL commands supported by your
printer and describes the function of each command. If you have experience
using PJL commands, you can skip the remainder of this Section and begin
with Section 2.

 For customers who have older Crown printers, we’ve also included a

PJL/DOC (Document Option Command) equivalency matrix at the end
of Section 2. (DOC was supported by earlier Crown printers.) You can
use this matrix to find the PJL command that is most equivalent to a
DOC entry.

Introduction

Conventions denotes two meanings: 1) How this manual uses character and
document formatting to define the PJL commands and variables (see Docu­ment Conventions), and 2) How you should enter PJL command text in your
application to ensure the printer recognizes the commands correctly (see
“PJL Command Syntax” on page 11).

Document Conventions

The text describing the available PJL commands and variables in Section 2
appear in tables like the one shown below.

PJL Command Syntax

The characters and symbols used when identifying the syntax of PJL com­mands is defined in the following table:

[ ] Square brackets enclose any optional arguments that

can be used in conjunction with the command. If you use
optional arguments, don’t type the brackets.

< > Angled brackets enclose control characters. When these

appear in the Syntax, enter the control code only (don’t
type the <> characters). See the next section for control
character definitions.

| Vertical bars appear in command syntax to indicate that

there are multiple optional parameters.

CAPS The complete @PJL command must be in uppercase.

Control Character Definitions

This table defines the control characters used in PJL command syntax.

PJL Command Syntax

11

Universal Exit Language (<UEL>) Usage

The <UEL> Kernel Command signals to the printer that a PJL job needs to be
processed or has completed processing. This allows the printer to switch
between PJL and its default printing language (for example, PostScript). The
following bullets identify the rules you should follow when using the <UEL>
Command:

 Always start and end all PJL jobs with the <UEL> Command. The Syntax

for this command is

<ESC>%-12345X

 The <UEL> Command at the beginning of the PJL job must be immedi-

ately followed by the @PJL prefix. No spaces or other characters can be
placed between the <UEL> and the @PJL characters. For example,

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL

 Following the text shown in the above example, you can continue

with a <CR> <LF> to begin another PJL command on the next line,
or you can use the @PJL on this line to start another PJL Com­mand.

 No characters should follow the <UEL> placed at the end of the PJL job.

Any character after the <UEL> is seen and handled as a new job.

Additional Syntax Rules

 The <LF> (Line Feed) control code must be used at the end of each PJL

command to terminate the line.

 The only exception to this rule is the <UEL> command, which does

not require the <LF> control code.

 The <CR> control character is optional, but can be useful when spacing is

needed between command lines (no blank lines are allowed in PJL jobs).
Always place the optional <CR> before the <LF>, which is used to termi­nate the line.

 A space (ASCII 32, Hex 0x20) or tab (ASCII 9, HEX 0x09) is required

between the @PJL prefix and the PJL command name.

 A space (ASCII 32, Hex 0x20) is required between the PJL command

name and command arguments.

12

Universal Exit Language

(<UEL>) Usage

Variables and Values

Many PJL commands require the use of variables to assign values to the
command parameters. PJL commands support the use of alphanumeric vari­able characters when the following rules are applied:

Alpha Characters

 All variables must begin with an alpha character.

 Do not use spaces in variables.

 Alpha characters must be Roman-8 uppercase (characters 65-90).

Numeric Characters

 Do not begin variables with a numeric character.

 If a decimal is used in a numeric value, a number must precede the deci-

mal point, and only one decimal point is allowed in a value.

 Do not use commas in numeric values.

 Numeric characters must be Roman-8 numbers 0-9 (characters 48-57).

Strings

 Strings are not used in variables but may be used as values.

 Strings can use any combination of the alpha and numeric characters that

follow the guidelines described above.

 Strings must be placed within double quotation marks.

 Quotation marks cannot be used as part of the string.

 Control characters are not allowed in strings.

Language Configuration

In order for the printer to correctly interpret the PJL commands that are sent
to it, the printer must recognize or be told which language to use to process
the job. Three methods of language switching can be used.

 Explicit Language Selection—This is the recommended method of

switching languages and involves the use of the ENTER LANGUAGE
command to notify the printer of the language to be used.

 Implicit Language Selection—If the ENTER LANGUAGE command is

not used, the printer uses the language set as the default language. This
method works fine as long as the default language is the same language

Language Configuration

13

as the job sent to the printer. If the PERSONALITY variable is set to
AUTO, and no ENTER command is received, Context Language Selec­tion (described next) is used instead of Implicit Language Selection. This
variable can be set through PJL or user interface (operator control panel
[System Default/Emulations/Default menu], CrownView, and PageScope
Light).

 Context Language Selection—When the printer is configured to auto-

matically select the language of incoming jobs and the ENTER LAN­GUAGE command is not used to identify the job language, the printer
samples the incoming data and chooses a language based on its interpre­tation of the sampled data.

Language Configuration14

Issuing PJL

Commands—

Introduction

The following chapters in this guide describe the PJL commands, their vari­ables, and their functions. This chapter looks at the common methods of
sending the PJL command jobs to the printer and receiving readback
responses from the printer.

Sending PJL Commands to the Printer

The three most common methods used to send PJL commands to the printer
are

 Creating an ASCII file containing the PJL commands and copying this file

to your printer. Use this method if you want to send configuration changes
to the printer and don’t require readback responses from the printer.

 You can also modify your Autoexec.bat file to copy the ASCII file to

the printer each time you boot your workstation.

 Embedding PJL commands in an application during development. This

method allows application developers to take advantage of the com­mands and readback status of the printer to customize application func­tions that interact with the printer.

 Due to the extensive variations in application development, this

method is not documented in detail in this Guide.

 Using a utility software application that handles the bidirectional communi-

cation necessary to send and receive information from the printer.

Copying ASCII Files to the Printer

This section describes one method of creating and sending an ASCII file con­taining PJL commands to your printer from a workstation running a Windows
Operating System.

1 From the Start menu, choose Run.
2 Type edit and then select OK.

The MS-DOS Editor opens.

3 Enter the following on the first line of the new file you are creating.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL

To create the <ESC> character, hold down the CTRL key and select the P
key, and then press the Esc key.

Introduction16

4 On the following lines, enter the PJL commands you want to send to the

printer. See the additional chapters in this guide for information about the
PJL commands supported.

5 On the last line of your file, enter

<ESC>%-12345X

6 Save the file.
7 Copy the file you just saved to the printer using the DOS copy/b com-

mand.*

 *If you check accounting, this example shows two jobs due to the

<CR><LF> that the MS-DOS editor automatically adds after the
<UEL>.

Including PJL Commands in Applications

By including PJL commands in the application that you’re developing, you
can take control of most printing configuration settings and retrieve printer
information without having to call on another application.

Using Utility Software

Some utility software allows you to communicate with your printer, including
sending PJL commands and receiving status readback. Depending on your
utility application, you may be able to perform one or more functions using the
utility’s built-in tools rather than directly entering PJL commands.

Example: Status Monitor

This utility, which comes with your printer on the CD-ROM, uses the PJL
readback commands to monitor and display the printer’s current status. This
utility provides additional features but serves as a good example of practical
use of PJL commands in an application.

Commands—

21

Introduction

The PJL commands supported by your printer are identified and described in
this chapter. PJL commands are identified first and then followed by the
definition of environmental variables.

The commands and variables in the following sections are listed by name and
in alphabetical order.

Commands

Command COMMENT

Syntax @PJL COMMENT remarks [<CR>]<LF>

Description Comments can be used to insert information within the

lines of a PJL job. This information has no effect on the
printer or on any other commands used in the PJL job.
Information in Comments are primarily used to contain
notes about the preceding or following commands used in
the job.

Notes Remarks can be any text using Roman-8 characters

(Codes 33-255).

Remarks must start with a printable character.

Command

Syntax @PJL DEFAULT [LPARM : personality] variable

Description This command can be used to change the User Default

Notes The User Default Settings are also configurable from the

DEFAULT

= value [<CR>]<LF>

settings of the printer. DEFAULT is used with environmental
variables to set the user default value of a printer parame­ter. See the next section for a listing of variables that are
available for your printer.

printer’s control panel. Using the DEFAULT command does
not affect the Factory Default Settings of the printer.

Changes to the Default Settings are not activated until a
RESET command has been executed, the job ends, or a
<UEL> command is received. See the RESET command
on page 27 for more information.

Introduction22

Command DINQUIRE

Syntax @PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] vari-

able [<CR>]<LF>

Response

Syntax

Description This command requests the current User Default Setting

Notes The printer responds with a question mark (?) if the variable

computer with the text sent to it (<words>). This allows you
to synchronize requests for information and the printer
responses.

responses that may be in response to queries that were
executed prior to the last request. For example, if an
application sends a query but the host is shut down or
interrupted before the response is sent, the printer attempts
to deliver the response the next time communication is
reestablished. You can use the ECHO command to validate
that the message received is in response to the query sent
to the printer.

Commands

23

Command ENTER

Syntax @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = personality

[<CR>]<LF>

Description This kernel command is used when setting the printer lan-

guage for the language used in the current print job.
Personality is the language of the print job, such as Line­printer, PCL, or PostScript.

Notes Immediately following the <LF> code on the ENTER

command line, the printer assumes the language specified
by the personality to process the current print job. The
printer will continue to treat the job in the new language
until another ENTER command, a <UEL> command is
found, or a print job end of file is found.

Command

Syntax @PJL EOJ [NAME = "job name"] [<CR>]<LF>

Description This command indicates the end of the current print subjob.

Notes This command must be used in conjunction with the JOB

EOJ

The optional Name variable should be used if the JOB
command used this option to name the print subjob.

command. Don’t use the JOB or the EOJ command
separately.

Commands24

Command INFO

Syntax @PJL INFO category [<CR>]<LF>

Description This command is used to request information from the

printer. The category is the component that you want infor­mation about. The following items are the categories that
your printer supports in response to the INFO command:

ID—returns the printer model number.

CONFIG—provides the current printer hardware configura-

tion.

MEMORY—provides the current amount of free memory
space available to the printer.

PAGECOUNT—returns the total number of pages that the
printer has printed.

STATUS—returns the current status of the printer. See
Chapter 2.2 “Status Codes” beginning on page 59 for a list
of the status codes returned by your printer.

VARI A B LES—provides all supported variables and the
values that each variable supports.

USTATUS—returns the unsolicited status variables (vari­ables that automatically send status whenever their status
changes), their optional values, and their current values.
See Chapter 2.2 “Status Codes” beginning on page 59 for a
list of the status codes returned by your printer.

Notes Use just one category per INFO command line. If the printer

doesn’t support a category specified in the INFO command
line, the response will be a question mark (?).

Commands

Items that are not supported by the printer’s current
configuration are not listed in the printer’s configuration
response for information (@PJL INFO CONFIG). For
example, if the duplex unit isn’t installed, the duplex options
don’t appear in configuration query results.

25

Command INITIALIZE

Syntax @PJL INITIALIZE

Description This command is used to reset the PJL variables to their

factory settings.

Notes To reset the PJL variables to the User Default values, use

the DEFAULT command instead of the INITIALIZE
command.

Command

Syntax @PJL INQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable

the variable specified in the INQUIRE command line.

The @PJL INFO VARIABLES command returns the status
of all variables.

Commands26

Command JOB

Syntax @PJL JOB [NAME = " job name"][START= first

page][END = last page][PASSWORD = number ]
[DISPLAY = " display text"][<CR>]<LF>

Description The JOB command signifies the beginning of a new PJL

subjob to the printer. This command should be used with
the EOJ command to frame the PJL job to prevent multiple
PJL subjobs from being treated as one job.

Notes The default settings for the optional parameters shown in

the Syntax are

NAME= N/A

START=1

END= All pages

PASSWORD=0

DISPLAY= N/A

The use of these parameters is optional.

Always use the JOB command with the EOJ command.

an automatic response sent by the printer whenever the
status is changed.

Variables allowed are
DEVICE—Response when device status changes. Choices
are ON, OFF, and VERBOSE.

JOB—Response when the print job is started, completed
or canceled. Choices are ON and OFF.

PAGE —Response whenever a page is fed into the output
tray. Choices are ON and OFF.

TIMED—Sets up a timed interval between automatic status
responses. Choices are 0 and 5 to 300 seconds. 0 is the
default (one status is returned).

The VERBOSE setting returns all PJL parser errors and
warnings and should be used only during application devel­opment.

Command

Description Turns off all unsolicited status settings.

Commands

USTATUS DEVICE=ON allows the printer to send
responses when any status changes occur.

USTATUSOFF

Syntax @PJL USTATUSOFF [<CR>]<LF>

Notes You can use the USTATUS command to turn off individual

parameters.

29

Environmental Variables

Environmental variables are used in conjunction with other PJL commands to
control printer configuration and to retrieve specific information from the
printer. See the previous section for a description of the PJL commands that
your printer supports.

Changing Printer Environment Parameters

The printing environment is defined as the current printer configuration. Envi­ronmental variables are used to configure the printer ’s parameters in the
printing environment. There are 4 types of printing environments that you will
be working with when using PJL commands:

 Modified—This environment is established when the ENTER LAN-

GUAGE command is sent to the printer to change the printer language. It
can be changed only by the emulation.

 PJL—This environment consists of the configuration changes established

by the parameters sent in the PJL command lines for the current job. Any­thing set here can be overridden by emulation.

 User Default—User default configurations occur when one or more of the

Factory default configuration settings are changed and saved as the
default printer configuration. These changes can be made and saved via
the printer’s controls panel, using a printer management utility application
(for example, PageScope Light), or by using the DEFAULT command.
Typically, the User default environment is configured to benefit the major­ity of users in a network to prevent making repetitive changes. This can
be changed by PJL, emulation, and user interface.

Factory Default—This environment consists of the configuration settings that
are set by the printer manufacturer. Factory default settings are permanent
and can be applied at any time using the INITIALIZE command. Factory
default can be overridden by user interface, PJL, or emulations.

Language Specific Variables

Additional modifiers are included in the PJL variable set to allow you to make
changes to printer parameters that are specific to the language used by the
printer.

LPARM

The LPARM modifier is used to modify printer configuration that affects the
selected language. For instance, when PCL language is selected, you can
modify the PCL-specific parameters using the LPARM modifier.

The language-specific variables for each supported language are shown in
the following table.
