CHAPTER 5 PJL- 68
The printer status to be sent to the host computer are ;
•
Device status changes - printer cover open, paper jams, paper out, etc
•
Job status changes - completion of the printing of a job, receiving a
JOB
command
•
Page status changes - ejecting a printed page
All the unsolicited status information (USTATUS DEVICE, JOB, PAGE and TIMED) is turned off at once
by the USTATUSOFF command. Each status can be turned off individually by the corresponding
USTATUS command.
The USTATUS TIMED command specifies after which time period the printer sends the unsolicited status
information and is turned off by setting the time increment to zero with this command.
To get information about the current settings or possible settings for unsolicited status, use the INFO
USTATUS command.

7.6.1. Device
variable
The
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE
command allows the printer to send status messages when the printer
status changes. The printer will send the status by the status code shown in the table below.
Status code
Status
10000 - 10999
Status information such as printer on-line or off-line.
11000 - 11999
Status of available paper in paper input sources, such as paper empty and auto-
switching to another paper source.
20000 - 20999
PJL parser errors. The entire command line of a PJL command is ignored when
an error (except for code 20004 ) occurs.
25000 - 25999
PJL parser errors. Part of a PJL command is ignored when the error occurs.
27000 - 27999
PJL semantic errors, which means that they are grammatically acceptable but
cannot be executed. For example, attempting to lock the only unlocked paper
tray causes this error.
30000 - 30999
Errors which do not stop the printing procedure if the CONTINUE is set to
AUTO (auto continue mode). If the CONTINUE mode is set to STOP, the
printer stops printing and goes to off-line status and only resumes when the
CONTINUE or SEL key are pressed.
