When a SET or DEFAULT command is used with the AUTOCONT, 
CLEARABLEWARNINGS, or DENSITY variables, both the User Default and PJL Current 
Environment settings are modified (except for the LaserJet 4L, 5L, and 6L printers). It is 
recommended that these variables not be changed on a job-by-job basis.

Can be modified only by using the DEFAULT command.
