PCL/PJL Feature Dependencies/Caveats
All PJL commands must be in the first 2,500 bytes of the job.
To combine printer escape commands (not including PJL commands):
The first two characters after the <esc> MUST be the same.
All alpha characters MUST be lowercase, except the final terminating character.
The commands are read left to right. Combine commands in the order you wish them to
execute.
For example, combine print 5 copies (<ESC>&|5X) and use letter size (<ESC>&|2A) as
<ESC>&|5x2A.
In case of duplicate commands, the last one requested takes precedence.
The @PJL SET COPIES takes precedence over the PCL Escape Command (<ESC>& | int
X>) to set copies. In general, a PJL command takes precedence over a PCL command.
Valid media sizes for duplexing are between [88.9 x 127] and [297 x 432] (mm) or all sizes
that can be fed from tray1 - 4.
Valid media sizes for stapling include A3, A4, B4, B5, Letter (8.5 x 11”), 8.5 x 13”, Legal (8.5
x 14”), Tabloid (11 x 17”) and Executive (7.25 x 10.5”) for Type A and Type B Finisher. For
Type B Finisher, 8 x 10”, 11 x 15”, A4 Cover, 9 x 11” and 215 x 315mm are also valid.
Valid media sizes for booklet stapling include A3, A4, B4, Letter (8.5 x 11”), 8.5 x 13”, Legal
(8.5 x 14”), Tabloid (11 x 17”) for Type B Finisher.
PCL Fonts
The following PCL fonts are resident.
The commands in the table reference a 12-point font. If you wish to use any other point size,
change the 12v within the PCL Escape Command to the desired size (.25 – 999.75).
The commands listed use the default symbol set, Roman-8. To change the symbol set, you
include the alternate symbol set after the first <ESC> and before the second <ESC>. Use the line
printer examples as a reference.
