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

6-38 Environment Commands EN

PRTPSERRS, must be set using this option. Variables that are not

personality-specific cannot be set using the LPARM : personality

option.

All port-specific variables must be set using the IPARM: port option.

Variables that are not port-specific cannot be set using the IPARM :

port option.

Default values set with this command affect the printer control panel

value and the feature setting stored in non-volatile RAM (in those

printers that have a control panel and NVRAM). However, these

values do not affect the print environment until a PJL reset condition

occurs (see “PJL Reset Conditions” for a list of printer events that

constitute a PJL reset). Consequently, if you want the default values

to take effect immediately, send a RESET command after sending the

DEFAULT command(s).

A separate DEFAULT command must be sent for each environment

variable you specify. The command may be used to set any

environment variable except the read-only variables. See the

“Environment Variables” section of this chapter for a description of

each environment variable.

Example: Modifying User Default Settings

This example sets page protection to LETTER for all personalities,

and selects the PC8 symbol set for all PCL jobs. A RESET command

follows the DEFAULT commands so that the PJL Current

Environment defaults to the new settings.

@PJL COMMENT User Defaults <CR><LF>

@PJL DEFAULT PAGEPROTECT = LETTER <CR><LF>

@PJL DEFAULT LPARM : PCL SYMSET = PC8 <CR><LF>
