Including PJL Commands in Applications
By including PJL commands in the application that you’re developing, you
can take control of most printing configuration settings and retrieve printer
information without having to call on another application. Refer to the
Hewlett-Packard
Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual for
additional information.
Using Utility Software
Some utility software allows you to communicate with your printer, including
sending PJL commands and receiving status readback. Depending on your
utility application, you may be able to perform one or more functions using the
utility’s built-in tools rather than directly entering PJL commands.
Example: KONICA MINOLTA Status Monitor
This utility, which comes with the printer on CD-ROM, uses the PJL readback
commands to monitor and display the printer’s current status. This utility
provides additional features but serves as a good example of practical use of
PJL commands in an application.
