Job Separation 
Commands
Introduction
This chapter explains the JOB and EOJ commands. These 
commands are used to describe the boundaries of a job, indicating 
where the PJL job begins and ends. The commands can be used to 
name a job, and they support a non-printing mode for printing 
selected pages within a job. When used in combination with status 
readback, the printer also can send status information regarding 
when the printer starts processing the job and when the job is 
complete. This chapter also describes PJL security and job 
cancellation and their relationship to the JOB command. 
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.
