Programming Tips for Using PJL
Introduction
When using most printer languages, there is usually more
than one way to perform a certain printing function. PJL is
no exception. Properly formed PJL jobs provide the
developer with the desired features while eliminating
glitches. This chapter provides tips for creating efficient
PJL jobs that eliminate potential problems.
Note
Improperly coded print jobs may work fine in a
single-computer/single-printer environment running only
one application, but cause problems in a multi-application
or shared network environment.
The first part of this chapter categorizes PJL applications
into three general types, and provides guidance and
examples for each type. The remainder of the chapter
provides hints for handling specific situations, including
using status readback in a multi-user system.
