DEFAULT
Command
The DEFAULT command sets the User Default
Environment value for the specified environment variable.
This value is stored in non-volatile RAM (if the printer has
NVRAM) and is activated following a PJL reset condition.
The DEFAULT command does not affect the current print
environment, but takes effect when a PJL reset condition
occurs. Use this command to change the default value for
any environment setting.
For printers that support the PASSWORD variable, the
DEFAULT command will not take effect unless used within a
secure job (a job with the correct password in the JOB
command).
Note
In situations where the printer is shared by several users,
such as networks, restrict the use of the DEFAULT
command using PJL security mechanisms. This
recommendation allows a standard print environment to be
used and avoids having default features changed by
different print jobs. Instead, if a printer feature must be
changed from the default for a particular print job, use the
SET command. In this way, jobs can be successfully printed
in any order, since they are not affected by settings from
previous jobs.
When the DEFAULT command is used to change the
PAGE-PROTECT, RESOLUTION, RESOURCESAVE,
RESOURCESAVESIZE, IOBUFFER, or IOSIZEstatus, the
printer memory is reconfigured. Reconfiguring printer
memory erases all downloaded fonts, PCL macros, and
PostScript dictionaries, however no I/O data is lost. Refer to
“Commands that Affect Printer Memory” in Appendix A.
