HP Jetdirect Print Servers - Administrator Guide

ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 137
Example. If you had an LPD printer and wanted to reset it at the
start of each print job, you could set up a user-defined print queue
named “clear_printer” that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E)
at the beginning of each job. You could set this up as follows:
First, set up the print queue:
a. Name a string: Type "reset_string" into the String Name
field in row 1.
b. Define the string's value: Type "\1BE" (Escape-E) into the
Value field in row 1. (Alternatively, you could type
"\1B\45".)
c. Name the queue: Type "clear_printer" into the Queue
Name field in row 5.
d. Set up the prepend string: Type "reset_string" into the
Prepend String field in row 5.
e. Leave the Append String field in row 5 blank.
f. Set the queue type: Using the pull-down menu, set the
Queue Type field in row 5 to "RAW".
Then, set up the printer to use the queue, making sure to specify
"clear_printer" when asked for a queue name. (For details of setting
up the printer, refer to Chapter 5,
“Configuring for LPD Printing”.)
After that, any print jobs sent to the printer -- either from the server
or from a client computer that has set up that printer -- will include
a reset command at the beginning of the job.
