HP PCL/PJL reference - Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual

6-12 Environment Commands EN
General PJL Environment Variables
The following table lists the PJL environment variables that are not
printer language-specific. When you use these variables, do not use
the LPARM : personality option. The range of values for each variable
may differ for the various printer models. Appendix A lists the
environment variables and indicates which printers support each
variable. Another method of obtaining a list of valid variables and the
range of values for each variable is to send the INFO VARIABLES
command to request this information directly from the printer. See the
INFO command in Chapter 7 for more information. You can find
valuable information about environment variables in the control panel
sections of the user's manual for each printer.
Note Some environment variables can be modified using the DEFAULT
command but not the SET command, some can be SET but not
modified using DEFAULT, and some are read only variables.
Appendix A lists environment variables, including read only variables,
for all of the PJL printers.
