Job Separation Commands

Your printer supports the PJL JOB and EOJ commands. When the printer receives a JOB command, the print timeout is multiplied by 10; when the printer receives a PJL EOJ command, the print timeout is reset to the user default. The Waiting message appears on the printer operator panel display or through MarkVision Professional until an EOJ command is received or until the print timeout expires.

Your printer also supports the PASSWORD parameter for the PJL JOB command.

JOB Command

The host computer can use the JOB command to separate print data into various parts or jobs. Specifically, the JOB command signifies to the printer the start of a print job. Use the EOJ command to signify the end of a job. In addition, use the JOB/EOJ pair to accomplish the following:

•Provide a job name (the name displays on the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional).

•

•

Indicate which pages of the job should be printed.

Monitor the job status as it prints.

Syntax:

@PJL JOB [NAME = "job name"] [START = first page] [END = last page] [PASSWORD = number][<CR>]<LF>

Notes:

•The JOB command should only be used in conjunction with the EOJ command.

•After receiving a JOB command, the printer does not process a UEL command as a PJL job boundary until it receives the corresponding EOJ. Instead, UELs occurring within a JOB/EOJ pair are processed as printer language resets (for example, PCL ESCE).
