PJL Telecom Abbreviation

Printer Job Language

The printer command language developed by Hewlett-Packard that provides printer con-trol at the print-job level. Using PJL commands, you can change default printer settings such as the number of cop-ies to print. PJL commands also permit switching printer languages between print jobs without action by the user. If bi-directional communication is supported, a PJL-compat-ible printer can send information such as printer model and job status to the print server.
