Unit 2: Printer Job Language
SATO D512 PCL Programming Manual Page 2-3
KERNEL COMMANDS
UNIVERSAL EXIT LANGUAGE CommandThe Universal Exit Language (UEL) command terminates the current printer
language and allows dynamic switching into PJL.
Syntax:
<ESC>%-12345X
Notes:
The PJL commands must immediately follow the UEL command (that is, the
X in the UEL syntax must be immediately followed by the @PJL of the next
PJL command).
ENTER LANGUAGE CommandThis command causes the printer to enter PCL emulation.
Syntax:
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = pcl[<CR>]<LF>
Note: You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. (@PJL must be uppercase;
all others can be mixed or lowercase.)
COMMENT CommandThis command lets you add descriptive comments to your PJL job.
Syntax:
@PJL COMMENT words[<CR>]<LF>
Notes:
• When the printer receives this command, it is ignored.
• The words parameter can be any combination of printable characters,
spaces, and horizontal tabs.
• The COMMENT command is terminated by the line feed character
(<LF>).
