sent to the application whenever a JOB and EOJ command is issued so that the application knows when a
job starts and ends.

%-12345X@PJL
@PJL USTATUS JOB = ON
@PJL JOB NAME = "JOB 88554"

%-12345X@PJL
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
E . . . PCL Job . . . E %-12345X

%-12345X@PJL
@PJL EOJ NAME = "JOB 88554"
%-12345X

The printer may send back the answer for the above command.

@PJL USTATUS JOB
START
NAME="JOB 88554"
