7.3. DINQUIRE Command
The DINQUIRE command is used to get the information of the default value of a specific variable in the PJL
Environment. (User Default Settings). It is also possible to get the value for variables which PJL cannot
change (Read-only).
The returned value of User Default Settings is identical to the Control Panel Setting.
This DINQUIRE command can request only one variable at a time. If you would like to get information from
more variables, send multiple DINQUIRE commands.

@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable [<CR>]<LF>

If the variable is not supported by the printer, it returns the response in the following syntax :
@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable <CR><LF>
"?" <CR><LF>
