Default Command - Brother HL-Series Technical Reference Manual

Revision C 16/01/96

6.3. Default command

The DEFAULT command changes the User-Default environment which is stored in NV-RAM and it is
activated following a PJL reset condition. The current print environment is not affected by the
DEFAULT command, but when a PJL reset condition happens, this command takes effect. This
doesn't change the current print environment, but is activated when a PJL reset condition happens.
It is recommended to restrict the use of the DEFAULT command when the printer is shared by several
users such as in a network environment. This allows use of the standard print environment and avoids
changing default features for each print job. If you have to change the default for a particular print job,
use the SET command.
Syntax :
@PJL DEFAULT [LPARM : personality ] variable = value
[<CR>]<LF>
•
LPARM : Personality
This optional parameter is used to set personality-specific (emulation) environment variables.
•
variable = Value
This parameter is used to set one of the environment variables to the specified value. For example,
@ PJL DEFAULT RESOLUTION = 300 command sets the user-default resolution to 300 dpi. Use
the @PJL INFO VARIABLES command to obtain valid variables and the range of values for each
variable. This command can request the information directly from the printer.
Example :
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Control Panel Defaults <CR><LF>
@PJL DEFAULT PAGEPROTECT = LEGAL <CR><LF>
@PJL DEFAULT LPARM : PCL SYMSET = PC850 <CR><LF>
@PJL RESET <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X
