Unlocking a Protected File or Device

Use the LDECLARE command to specify a password so a protected file or device may be accessed or “unlocked.” The LDECLARE command is only allowed within a JOB/ EOJ combination.

LRWLOCK with LDECLARE specified unlocks a file or device for reading and writing. LWLOCK with LDECLARE specified unlocks a file or device for writing only. The file or device must be re-locked using the LDELETEPASSWORD command after the job is completed. The file or device is not automatically re-locked with the EOJ command.

Syntax:

@PJL LDECLARE LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype"

LRWLOCK = "password"[<CR>]<LF>

@PJL LDECLARE LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype"

LWLOCK = "password"[<CR>]<LF>

LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype"

Values for "device:filename.filetype" are:

device flash, flash1, disk, or disk1 (case insensitive)

filename A unique identifier for a file, such as the macro ID for a PCL macro, the symbol set ID for a PCL symbol set, the font ID for a PCL font, or the actual file name for data, Type 1 fonts, and demo files as shown on the Directory. The filename is case sensitive.

filetype An identifier that categorizes the file, such as p5macro for PCL macros or p5symset for PCL symbol sets. See the table beginning on page 3-87for a complete list of the supported file types. The filetype is case sensitive.

LRWLOCK = "password" or LWLOCK = "password"

See “Printer Unique LRESOURCE Variables” on page 3-52 for information about values for LRWLOCK = "password" and LWLOCK = "password" parameters.

Note: This should be the same password that was defined in the DEFAULT command. See “Password Protection for a File” on page 3-93 and “Password for an Entire Device” on page 3-94for examples.
