7.5.1.ID category

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> <FF>
