Konica Minolta micropress release 6 User Manual

Printer Status Summary dialog dis-

plays the status of the PrintStation (i.e., 

errors and other specific information).

To display Printer Status Summary infor-

mation:

Click the PrintStation button.

The table below describes fields on the 

OPC Engine Summary dialog.

Hewlett Packard developed PJL (Printer Job Language) to allow application programs to 

have job-level control of print jobs sent to print devices supporting PJL. PJL commands are 

not always standardized (and often proprietary), and PJL commands (or documentation) for 

a manufacturer's print device are generally available only to developers.
OPC VE was developed to allow MicroPress users the ability to utilize their existing print 

devices in the MicroPress environment. However, there is no two-way communication 

between the print device and the MicroPress. Since the type of print device is unknown to the 

MicroPress only the least common denominator is supported. Unfortunately, this does not 

enable end-users to take advantage of any special features of the print device (e.g., finish-

ing). The custom PJL support allows end-users to insert PJL commands into the command 

string sent to the print device by the MicroPress, giving control over the print device not 

directly supported by OPC VE.
The PJL command stream is a series of commands sent to the print device before any page 

data is sent. These commands control what the print device will do at the job level. 
To enter a new command:

1 Select an OPC VE.
2 Select Virtual Engine

ÎEngine Defaults... from the menu.

3 Click Custom PJL button.
