Some Sample
PJL Jobs
Example: Changing
Control Panel
Settings
Example: Switching
Printer Languages
This section consists of two basic PJL jobs that illustrate
how to use PJL. The first job changes a few printer control
panel settings and prints a PCL file. The second job prints a
PCL file followed by a PostScript file. (The ~ symbol
indicates that the command line is actually part of the
previous line.)
This example simulates using PJL to control printer
features that are not available in a particular application
program. In this case, the features to be modified are the
number of copies and the Resolution Enhancement
technology setting.

This example contains two print jobs, one PCL and one
PostScript. The PCL job prints first, then PJL code switches
the printer language to prepare for the PostScript job.
