2-2 PJL Command Syntax and Format
The following syntax conventions are used to describe the
PJL commands in this manual:
Items in italics indicate names of variables.
Items in uppercase letters indicate PJL command names and words
that you type verbatim. PJL command names referred to in text are
also in uppercase.
Items in brackets [ . . . ] indicate optional parameters. The brackets
themselves are not typed.
Identifies a control code character, such as <CR> for carriage return,
or a special defined identifier. The table on the next page lists the
control codes and special identifiers used in the PJL syntax. (The
< and > symbols themselves are not typed, but are replaced with the
control codes or special identifiers they represent. For example,
replace <FF> with the form feed character [ASCII 12].)
This character indicates that the current line of code is a continuation
of the previous line. For example, "This text belongs on the
~ same line."
A vertical bar indicates there is more than one optional parameter,
such as LPARM and IPARM: [LPARM : personality | IPARM : port].
