PJL overview
Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in
addition to the standard Printer Command Language (PCL). With
standard ECP cabling, PJL allows the printer to perform functions
such as:
!
Two-way communication with the host computer through a
bidirectional parallel or USB connection. The printer can tell the
host such things as the control panel status.
!
Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the
next. For example, if a print job is sent to the printer in landscape
mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape only if they
are formatted for landscape printing.
