6.6. Set command

The SET command enables you to change the value of PJL Current Environment variables during a PJL
job, or until a PJL reset condition resets the default values.
Use this command to make a job-specific environment.
Syntax:
@PJL SET [LPARM : personality ] variable = value
[<CR>]<LF>
•
LPARM : Personality
This optional parameter is used to set personality(emulation) -specific environment variables.
• variable = value
This parameter sets one of the environment variables to the specified value.
For example, @ PJL SET RESOLUTION = 300 command sets the current resolution to 300 dpi.
For a list of variables and values, see the following table.
• Use the @PJL INFO VARIABLES to obtain valid variables and the range of values for each
variable. This command can request this information directly from the printer.
Parameters:
• The printer control panel setting values and the feature settings stored in NV-RAM are not affected
by the values modified with the SET command.
• The setting values selected with the SET command are valid until the next PJL reset condition
occurs.
• If the SET command is used in a job, use the RESET command after the job to reset the printer to
User default settings.
