Accessing Extended Features
Overview
This document describes how to access the extended features of the WorkCentre 7120 and in environments that do not have 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 items are
also included:
PCL tables that describes the PCL features and the syntax to use the feature.
PostScript tables that describes the PostScript features and the syntax to use the feature.
This document is not intended as a PS or PCL reference manual, but a guide for using the extended features in PS and PCL
commands.
Using this Guide
1. Search the Feature Table to determine whether the feature you wish to use is supported.
2. Verify that the feature is supported by your device. For example, the WorkCentre must have the Finisher option installed to
use stapling commands.
3. Following across the tables to find the syntax listed for the PDL examples shown. Read the Dependencies/Caveats section.
Getting Started
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.
Comment Commands
To process all PJL COMMENT commands and DSC, enclose them with XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands.
Example PCL print job:
@PJL COMMENT XRXbegin
@PJL COMMENT OID_ATT_START_SHEET OID_VAL_JOB_SHEET_NONE;
@PJL COMMENT XRXend
Example PS print job:
%%XRXbegin
%%OID_ATT_START_SHEET OID_VAL_JOB_SHEET_NONE;
%%XRXend

Customer Support Page 1
The first parameter of the command is 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.
The comment commands are specific to the WorkCentre 7120.
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. Ensure that
each command line ends with setpagedevice.

CUSTOM MEDIA SIZE
This command specifies the custom media size on which to print the job. Insert a media size command within the PCL
portion of the print job.

Length of Custom Paper is specified by <ESC>&f#J
where # = decipoints for (98 - 432)mm.
For example:
4.25-inch x 5.5-inch will give <ESC>&f3060I3960J
by
4.25-inch x 720 decipoints/inch = 3060
and
