Accessing Extended Features
Overview
This document describes how to access the extended features of the products listed in
environments for which Xerox does not make a custom driver.
Note: Some of the commands and syntax used in this document requires familiarity with
either PostScript (PS) or Printer Command Language (PCL).
This document provides the Printer Description Language (PDL) commands and syntax
for each feature. The following tables are also included:
features supported by the WorkCentre platform.
commands to use in a PCL print job
commands to use in a PS print job
This document is not intended as a PS or PCL reference manual, but a guide for using
the extended features in PS, PCL or ASCII print jobs.
Using this Guide
1. Refer to the Feature List for the feature you wish to implement. Select the page
number to jump to that page.
2. Follow the syntax listed for the command you selected. Read the
“Dependencies/Caveats” section. You can access features using several methods:
PCL or PS commands
PJL SET commands
Xerox specific COMMENT command.

Feature Listing
PCL and ASCII print jobs can use PJL commands or PCL commands to access the
attributes of the device. If there is more than one method listed to access a specific
feature, determine the best method for your application and use that method.
PostScript print jobs can use Document Structuring Commands (DSC) or PS commands.
If there is more than one method listed to access a specific feature, determine the best
method for your application and use that method.
For this document, both PJL COMMENT and DSC are referred to as Comment
commands.
Getting Started
Comment Commands
To process all PJL COMMENT commands and DSC, encl ose them with XRXBegin and
XRXEnd commands. The following example shows a PCL or ASCII print job:
The parameters of the command are an attribute followed by a value.
Comment commands must end with a semicolon except for the XRXbegin and
XRXend commands.
A comment command not enclosed by XRXbegin and XRXend is NOT a Xerox
specific command and is treated as a real comment with no functional attachment to
its contents.
PJL SET Commands
PJL SET commands are available for some features. If you choose to use these
commands, do not enclose them with the XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands.
PJL SET commands do not require a semicolon at the end of the command line.
PCL Commands
PCL commands are available for some features. If you choose to use these commands
do not enclose them with the XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands. Refer to a PCL
reference manual for more specific information regarding PCL commands.
PS Commands
PS commands are for some features. If you choose to use these commands, do not
enclose them with the XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands. Refer to a PS reference
manual for more specific information regarding PS commands.

When the interpreter receives this command it begins to parse PJL COMMENT commands to check for Xeroxspecific commands until it receives the command to stop parsing.

General Comment Commands
JOB NAME
The value for Job Name is stored for printing on the banner page.
PJL COMMENT Command DSC Comment Command
@PJL COMMENT JOB NAME ”string”; %%OID_ATT_JOB_NAME ”string”;
Where string is a maximum of 40 characters. This appears as the first item on the banner sheet.
JOB OWNER
The value for Job Owner is stored for printing on the banner page.
PJL COMMENT Command DSC Comment Command
@PJL COMMENT
OID_ATT_JOB_OWNER “string”;
Where string is a maximum of 40 characters. This appears as the second item on the banner sheet.
%%OID_ATT_JOB_OWNER ”string”;
QUANTITY
This PJL variable is used to specify the number of collated sets of a document. A value greater than 9999
results in 9999 copies produced. A value less than one results in one copy produced.
PJL SET PCL Cmd PS Cmd
@PJL SET COPIES=int NA NA
Where int is 1 to 9999.

Customer Support Page 5
COPIES
Use this command to specify the number of non-collated sets of a document in a print job. With COPIES
specified, the device renders X number of copies of page 1 of the document, X number of copies of page 2, and
so on. Use the COLLATION command in conjunction with the COPIES command to set a collate value.
PJL SET PCL 6 Cmd PS Cmd
@PJL SET COPIES=int; uint16 int ubyte pagecopies <</NumCopies int>>
Where int is 1 to 9999.
JOB TYPE
The Job Type command indicates a job that requires special handling.
PJL COMMENT Command DSC Comment Command
Where string is one of the following:
PRINT Indicates a normal print job.
PROOF_PRINT Comparable to Sample Set in a driver. This job type allows you to specify multiple copies
with the @PJL SET COPIES command. One set prints for review. Then you can release or
delete the job.
FAX_SEND This job type directs a print job to use the embedded fax board and fax the job to a phone
number instead of printing the job. See the FAX SEND command for the commands to
provide the phone number and other fax options.
%%OID_ATT_JOB_TYPE OID_VAL_JOB_TYPE_string;
DELAY PRINT
Delays printing a job until the time specified by the command.
PJL COMMENT Command DSC Comment Command
Where xxxx is the phone number and any special access numbers. If a dialing prefix is added, it must be
immediately followed by a pause (comma) character. Each fax number can be up to 30 characters in length.

@PJL COMMENT OID_ATT_CREDIT_CARD "xxxx";

/ Used to delineate private data.
$ Signifies to wait for a confirmation dial tone.
<1> Use preceding a fax number to specify which fax line should be used on systems that support dual fax lines.
<2> Use preceding a fax number to specify which fax line should be used on systems that support dual fax lines.
BANNER SHEET (START SHEET)
This command turns on/off the banner sheet that prints at the beginning of every job. It only applies to the job
that contains the command; it does not affect any other jobs. If the device is configured to disable banner
sheets, this command is ignored.
Where string is:
NONE Do not create a banner sheet for this job.
FULL Create a banner sheet for this job. By default, if the START SHEET comment is not included a banner
sheet is generated unless the device has banner sheet disabled.
USER A custom start sheet is included in this job.
