Introduction

This appendix demonstrates two examples: one PJL example using

the C programming language, and one simple batch file. The first

example is listed on the left-facing page in the generic format used

throughout the rest of the manual. The C code is then listed on the

opposite page so that you can compare the C code with the generic

code. The second example is a batch file that demonstrates the use

of the RDYMSG command to create your own “ready” message while

printing your job.

Note For information about products newer than those included in this

book, see the Printer Job Language Technical Reference Addendum,

which includes product-specific information about newer products, as

well as commands and variables added to PJL to support these

newer products.
