Document Title
Configuring a *LAN 3812 PJL Device Description

Document Description
Note: This document was previously entitled, *LAN TCP/IP ASCII Printer Support.

This document contains information on configuring *LAN 3812 PJL device descriptions for LAN attached ASCII printers. The term PJL refers to HP's Printer Job Language. PJL allows for two-way communications with the printer when attached to the LAN using a print server that also supports bidirectional PJL. Support for the PJL print driver is available in the base code for the R410 operating system and above, and was added to the R370 operating system through PTFs. This is an alternative to using Remote Output Queues (RMTOUTQs). *LAN 3812 PJL device descriptions fully support the page range function.

Support for the PJL print driver is largely dependent on the internal network interface card (NIC) or external print server used with the printer. Therefore, this column is as much of a statement about the NIC card or print server typically shipped with the printer, than it is about the printer itself. If it is unclear whether the network interface card (NIC) or print server and/or printer supports PJL, contact the manufacturer.

Configuration Example

To configure a *LAN 3812 PJL device description for an IBM Infoprint 1140 printer, type CRTDEVPRT and press the F4 (Prompt) key. The following is an example of using the Create Device Printer (CRTDEVPRT) command to create a *LAN 3812 PJL device description:

                   Create Device Desc (Printer) (CRTDEVPRT)

Type choices, press Enter.

Once you have created the printer device description, you will need to vary on the printer device description using either the Vary Configuration (VRYCFG) or Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command and then start the printer writer using either the Start Printer Writer (STRPRTWTR) or Work with Writers (WRKWTR) command.
