The application can use @PJL INFO ID command to find out the printer model name. As the features
of the printer may be changed by future revisions, the application should check them by using the
@PJL INFO CONFIG command.
Example :
The application sends the following command to the printer :
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL INFO ID <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X
The printer sends back the answer for the above INFO command if the printer name is HL-10h :
@PJL INFO ID<CR><LF>
"Brother HL-10h"<CR><LF>
<FF>

configuration information. The list consists of the information on paper sources, paper sizes, languages,
USTATUS (unsolicited status) commands, font sources, RAM size, number of lines and characters on
the LCD supported by the printer, with the format of the number of available types and/or the
description of each type. The printer sends back a list of multiple information for one @PJL INFO
CONFIG command.
