4.1.4 PJL USTATUS
Printer Bit Switch description
Bit Switch 9-4
These control the way PJL USTATUS returns page count totals in cases where multiple copies of
a job are being printed.
BitSw 9-4=0 (default):
This change the way an MFP/LP rotates PCL, PS, PDF, or RPCS print images.
1. The page count for a single copy is returned after the first copy is printed.
2. The page count for the rest of the copies, excluding the first copy, is returned after all copies
have been printed.
3. This emulates an older HP PCL firmware spec. It is only needed for compatibility with legacy
software.
BitSw 9-4=1:
The page count for all copies is output after all copies have been printed.
This emulates more recent HP PCL firmware specs.
For example, consider 3 copies of a 3 page job:
9-4 = 0
@PJL USTATUS JOB

NAME="TEST_page1-3"
