  • Page 6: Intended Audience

    AccXES PJL Interface 1 Intended Audience This document is intended for use by the AccXES software development team and other Xerox technical personnel interested in reviewing the AccXES definition and implementation of the HP-PJL Job Control language. Third party integrators, host client printer driver and utility developers, and related printing system developers will also find useful information in this document.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    HP-PJL on the AccXES architecture is a superset of the core HP-PJL functionality. The HP-PJL superset is tailored to the feature set required for the Xerox printing and plotting systems. It is intended that this language be well documented and easily available for external third party integrators to use in their development of host based print servers employing the AccXES controller in the printer as well as client platform print drivers and utilities.
  • Page 8 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface • Multiple Copies and Electronic Collation • Plot Nesting • Job Accounting information • Tray and Media Selection • Raster Stamps, Plot Overlays, Forms • Many others... When HP-PJL is sent independent of user print job, it can be used to query printer status and spool queue information, change host interface parameters, or perform any action the user can perform from the printer front panel.

  • Page 9: Hp-Pjl Commands

    Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface 3 HP-PJL Commands This section defines the HP-PJL commands that are utilized by the AccXES software architecture as well as the custom commands defined by the AccXES architecture. A user job with custom AccXES HP-PJL commands embedded within it is required to run without error on a standard HP-PJL printer. In practice, this means that new HP-PJL commands are embedded within the HP-PJL COMMENT command.

  • Page 10: Comment

    Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface • JPEG • ASCII • FLASH • DOWNLOAD • FILENET The FLASH and DOWNLOAD values are special values used for upgrading printer firmware and downloading rendering objects such as raster stamps and fonts, respectively. The objects supported by the DOWNLOAD facility are detailed in the DOWNLOAD Language section As in standard HP-PJL, the INFO CONFIG command can be used to query the printer for the list of currently supported data formats.

  • Page 11: Default

  • Page 86 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface In page composition, a number of pages are normally composed onto a single physical sheet, hereafter called a canvas. The pages to be composed will be called constituent pages. Conceptually, a constituent page is fully mapped to a paper with all transforms applied (rotation, justification, scaling) just as if it were going to be printed normally by itself.

  • Page 88 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface 5.1.7.1.18 PAGECOMPMEDIATYPE This parameter is active only if PAGECOMPENABLE is set to ON. It specifies the media type for the page composition media onto which constituent page composition files are placed.

  • Page 91 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface This variable is used to specify the X (Y) position of the label as either an absolute coordinate, or through a relative positioning value. Using absolute coordinates, this parameter specifies the X (Y) coordinate of the label’s bounding box’s lower left corner in inches from the physical paper’s origin. In relative coordinates, the value LEFT (BOTTOM), CENTER, OR RIGHT (TOP) may be used.
  • Page 92 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface This is the actual label to be printed. It may contain up to 4096 8-bit characters. The default value for this parameter is the null string which means that no label is applied. Special characters are supported which are delimited by the % character.
  • Page 93 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface • %j - Prints the job name provided by the host which may be different than the filename. • %u - Prints the lpr user name. 5.1.7.2.13 LIGHTNESSADJ The setting of this variable specifies the relative print lightness desired for multibit grayscale and RGB color vector and raster data.

The plot may bypass its folding operation, or it may be sent to the folder anyway for a z-fold operation.
  • Page 96 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface Each GFI finishing program has a default value for whether the finished output will be cross-folded or only fan-folded. This parameter may be used to override the default value and force the finisher to not do a cross-fold, or just use the default specified by the finishing program.
  • Page 97 Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface • MANUAL_FD The default value is AUTO. 5.1.7.2.30 MEDIATYPE This parameter specifies the paper type selected for printing the page. The possible types are ANY, PAPER, INKJETBOND, PRESENTATIONBOND, VELLUM, and FILM. If the print engine is able to detect the media type, then failure to match media types between that requested by the job and that loaded in the printer may cause a mismatch condition.

    Version 10.0 AccXES PJL Interface The UNDERSIZE parameter determines the threshold for rounding the selected media size up to a standard paper size. If one of the dimensions standard media size’s printable area is smaller than the corresponding dimension of the image (see MARGINxxx parameters for a definition of printable area of a media size) by less than the percentage stored in this parameter, then that dimension is said to be within the undersize margin capture zone.
