Example: Setting the
Printer to a Desired
State
The following example demonstrates setting HP LaserJet 4
and 4M printers to a known state. For the specific printer
you are configuring, consider which environment features
you can modify. The modifiable environment features for
HP LaserJet 4 and 4M printers are listed below (see
Appendix A for a list of environment variables supported by
each PJL printer):
COPIES
PAPER
ORIENTATION
PAGEPROTECT
RESOLUTION
FONTSOURCE
FONTNUMBER
PITCH
* PERSONALITY and TIMEOUT do not affect the printed output and gener-
ally should not be used.
Of these HP LaserJet 4 and 4M features, only RET,
PAGEPROTECT, and RESOLUTION affect the printed
output and cannot be set using the printer language (in this
case, PCL). These features are set using PJL, as the following
lines show:
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RET = MEDIUM <CR><LF>
@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT = OFF <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 300 <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E . . Use PCL to set copies, paper,
orientation, line spacing, manual feed, and
font selection— values not set using PJL
