Environmental Variables
Environmental variables are used in conjunction with other PJL commands to
control printer configuration and to retrieve specific information from the
printer. See the previous section for a description of the PJL commands that
your printer supports.
Changing Printer Environment Parameters
The printing environment is defined as the current printer configuration. Envi-
ronmental variables are used to configure the printer's parameters in the
printing environment. There are 4 types of printing environments that you will
be working with when using PJL commands:
Modified—This environment is established when the ENTER LAN-
GUAGE command is sent to the printer to change the printer language. It
can be changed only by the emulation.
PJL—This environment consists of the configuration changes established
by the parameters sent in the PJL command lines for the current job. Any-
thing set here can be overridden by emulation.
User Default—User default configurations occur when one or more of the
Factory default configuration settings are changed and saved as the
default printer configuration. These changes can be made and saved via
the printer's controls panel, using a printer management utility application
(for example, PageScope Light), or by using the DEFAULT command.
Typically, the User default environment is configured to benefit the major-
ity of users in a network to prevent making repetitive changes. This can
be changed by PJL, emulation, and user interface.
Factory Default—This environment consists of the configuration settings that
are set by the printer manufacturer. Factory default settings are permanent
and can be applied at any time using the INITIALIZE command. Factory
default can be overridden by user interface, PJL, or emulations.
Language Specific Variables
Additional modifiers are included in the PJL variable set to allow you to make
changes to printer parameters that are specific to the language used by the
printer.
LPARM
The LPARM modifier is used to modify printer configuration that affects the
selected language. For instance, when PCL language is selected, you can
modify the PCL-specific parameters using the LPARM modifier.
