When my system (WinXP SP1) awakes from hybernation, my LaserJet 4L
spontaneously prints one page with two lines on top:
X@PJL
@PJL USTATUS TIMED 30
Any ideas how to avoid this?
Just a guess here:
Looking at a PJL manual, at
<
http://www.brother.de/download\files\dokumente\guides_pjl.pdf>
See p 40 on, and particularly p56.
What the PC is doing is requesting the printer to report its status
every 30 seconds. However, apparently the beginning of the command
string is omitted, because either the printer or PC is not fully awake
when it's sent.
It should send :
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30 <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X
So it's not getting the code before the "X" and just prints the
command until it gets the second ESC which puts it back in command
mode.
Possible fixes:
Look at the printer driver settings to see if there are any timing
settings you might change. If all else fails, try some other drivers
-- there should be several compatible ones. The status report is a
dispensible feature if the printer is on your desk anyway, it's really
meant for remote printers..
