The application can use @PJL INFO ID command to find out the printer model name. As the features of the
printer may be changed by future revisions, the application should check them by using the @PJL INFO
CONFIG command.
Example
The application sends the following command to the printer :
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL INFO ID <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X
The printer sends back the answer for the above INFO command if the printer name is HL-1660e:
@PJL INFO ID<CR><LF>
"Brother HL-1660e"<CR><LF>
