Pjl Syntax Rules - HP Color LaserJet 5500 Technical Reference Manual

PJL Syntax Rules

[option name [ = value ] ] — The option parameter
specifies an option or sets a command option to a certain
value. Examples include "@PJL INQUIRE COPIES" and
"@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = personality." The range of
values varies with each specific command and each printer
model. A PJL command may have no options, or one or
more options (an unlimited number).
The DEFAULT command shown below illustrates format
number 4. The command sets the default PCL point size to
14.25.
Following are the rules governing the use of PJL commands:
The PJL prefix "@PJL" always must be uppercase. The
remainder of the PJL command is not case-sensitive. For
clarity, however, this manual shows other portions of PJL
commands in uppercase to indicate portions that are not
variable and that should be typed as shown (such as the
first three words in the following command):
@PJL STMSG DISPLAY = " message " [<CR>]<LF>
Spacing between characters, or "white space," is
comprised of one or more of either the space character
(ASCII 32) or the horizontal tab character (ASCII 9). For
clarity and consistency, this manual shows all white
space as one blank space.
