Alpha Characters - Konica Minolta Magicolor 2350 EN Reference Manual

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 vari-
able 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
