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.
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: Status Monitor
This utility, which comes with your printer on the 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.
