About PJL4
About PJL
Printer Job Language (PJL) enables advanced users and software applica-
tion developers to send commands to the printer and receive printer status.
This allows you to control the printer’s configuration for a print job and to
establish two-way communications with the printer. In addition, PJL com-
mands can be used to change the printer’s control panel settings and to
change the printing language from within applications.
In This Guide
This PJL Reference Guide contains information about the PJL commands
that are supported by your printer. Section 1 provides a general introduction
to PJL. Section 2 contains the full list of PJL commands supported by your
printer and describes the function of each command. If you have experience
using PJL commands, you can skip the remainder of this Section and begin
with Section 2.
 For customers who have older Crown printers, we’ve also included a
PJL/DOC (Document Option Command) equivalency matrix at the end
of Section 2. (DOC was supported by earlier Crown printers.) You can
use this matrix to find the PJL command that is most equivalent to a
DOC entry.
