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 128.0 x 140.0mm and 320.0 x 483.0mm.
Valid media sizes for stapling include A4 (210 x 297mm), A3 (297 x 420mm), B5 (182 x
257mm), B4 (257 x 364mm), Executive (7.25 x 10.5"), Letter (8.5 x 11"), 8.5 x 13", Legal (8.5
x 14"), Tabloid (11 x 17"), 16K (194 x 267mm), 8K (267 x 388mm), 16K (195 x 270mm), 8K
(270 x 390mm) for Finisher A/B/C. For Finisher B/C, 8 x 10", 215 x 315mm, 11 x 15", A4
Cover, 9 x 11" are also valid.
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.
