PJL Overview
Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the standard
Printer Command Language (PCL). With standard ECP cabling, PJL allows the printer to
perform functions such as:
• Two-way communication with the host computer through a bidirectional Parallel
connection. The printer can tell the host such things as the control panel status.
• Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next. For example, if a
print job is sent to the printer in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in
landscape only if they are formatted for landscape printing.
