4-4 Kernel Commands
The ENTER command enables the specified personality
(such as PCL or PostScript). Use this command to select the
printer language for printing subsequent data.
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = personality [<CR>]<LF>
Parameter
personality
* Other personalities might be supported.
personality — The personality variable must be set to
PCL, POSTSCRIPT, ESCP, or one of the other supported
personalities. Personalities besides PCL and PostScript
can be added to some printers by plugging in additional
hardware, such as cartridges or ROM SIMMs. If your
application handles status readback, you can request a
list of all valid personalities present in the printer (see
the "INFO CONFIG" section in Chapter 7).
The ENTER command must be positioned immediately
before any personality-specific data. The selected
personality begins parsing immediately after the <LF> that
terminates in the ENTER command.
If the printer does not receive the ENTER command
requesting a specific printer language, the printer enables
the default printer language as set from the control panel
(or if the printer supports context switching, such as the HP
Color LaserJet, LaserJet 4, 4M, 4 Plus, 4M Plus, 4Si,
4SiMx, 4000 series, 5Si, 5Si MX, 5Si Mopier, 4ML, 4P, 4MP,
4V, 4MV, 5, 5M, 5P, 6P, and 6MP printers, it samples the
data stream if personality is set to AUTO—see the "Methods
of Printer Language Switching" later in this chapter).
