The AppSocket protocol module scans PJL commands, and from certain ones, it extracts job metadata. Those commands appear below with explanations.
| Command | Notes |
|---|---|
| @PJL SET JOBNAME = “x” | Extracts the jobname between the quotes, used for jobname |
| @PJL SET USERNAME = “x” | Extracts the username between quotes, used for job metadata |
| @PJL SET COPIES = x | Extracts the digits following the equal sign, used for job metadata |
| @PJL SET JOBIDVALUE = x | Extracts the digits following the equal sign for the job-specific ID value |
| @PJL SET TIMEOUT = x | Extracts the digits following the equal, used for job timeout |
| @PJL SET variable = value | Updates the stored value for a variable name; if the emulation defines the variable then a “current” field is added; otherwise, we create the variable and value |
| @PJL DEFAULT COPIES = x | Extracts the digits following the equal, used for job metadata |
| @PJL DEFAULT JOBIDVALUE = x | Extracts the digits following the equal sign for the job-specific ID value |
| @PJL DEFAULT TIMEOUT = x | Extracts the digits following the equal, used for job timeout |
| @PJL JOB | Any of the following are used if present: NAME, START and END |
| @PJL EOJ | If status readback is turned on for JOB then RPM generates a status readback which includes the JOBID value |
| @PJL INFO type | RPM generates a response using the printer emulation, except FILESYS which gets a response indicating there is no file system |
| @PJL INQUIRE setting | RPM returns the current value for the setting, either from the emulation or any SET operations which added or updated a value |
| @PJL DINQUIRE setting | RPM returns the default value for variables in the emulation |
| @PJL ECHO string | RPM returns the value of “string” |
| @PJL USTATUS args | RPM tracks the possible values for USTATUS DEVICE, JOB, PAGE, and TIMED. We discuss this in the section “PJL status readbacks supported by RPM” |
| @PJL USTATUSOFF | Turns off all USTATUS responses |
| @PJL DMINFO x | RPM ignores DMINFO by returning the “?” response |
| @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE x | RPM stores the language in the format metadata. If USTATUS JOB is ON then RPM generates a response. |
