Device Attendance Commands - HP Color LaserJet 5500 Technical Reference Manual

Device Attendance Commands

Introduction
PJL enables you to change messages displayed on the
printer control panel. This capability is useful for alerting
operators to perform specific actions, such as loading paper
or pressing keys. This chapter describes the following three
device attendance commands:
RDYMSG specifies a "ready message" that replaces the
"00 READY" message on the printer control panel. The
RDYMSG command does not affect the online state.
OPMSG displays a specified "operator message" on the
printer control panel and takes the printer offline.
STMSG displays the specified "status message" on the
printer control panel and takes the printer offline. It
returns the name of the key that the operator pressed to
put the printer back online.
Note
Some PJL printers do not support the device attendance
commands. See Appendix A for a list of features supported
by each printer.
