3-4 Using PJL
Now that you have learned the PJL requirements and have
seen how to use PJL commands in the sample programs
described on the previous page, look through the following
"Command Groupings" table. It can help you find the
information you need to add PJL capabilities to your
application. If your application only uses PJL to switch
printer languages, you may need to read only Chapter 4.
However, if you want to do more with PJL, be sure to look
through Chapter 10 (Programming Tips), and the other
chapters that pertain to your application. Also, be sure you
know which PJL commands are supported by the printer
you are using. See Appendix A for feature support
information.
Chapter 5 explains commands that enable you to create
jobs for keeping track of printing status, and explain a
non-printing mode that allows printing of specific pages
of print jobs.
Chapter 6 describes commands that enable you to change
control panel settings and default configuration settings.
The commands in this chapter enable you to set the
printer features to a known state.
Chapter 7 covers status readback commands, enabling
you to request configuration and status information from
the printer.
Chapter 8 explains the commands that can alter the
messages displayed on the printer control panel.
Chapter 9 describes the PJL file system for managing
printer-based file storage.
