EJL Mode

This section lists the commands for EJL (EPSON Job control Language). EJL can
perform the following operations in your printer:
o
Switch the printer emulation
o
Transfer the printer's system information to the computer
o
Enter the Printer Job Language (PJL)
EJL can switch the printer emulation with a mono-directional interface, but a
bidirectional interface is required for the computer to receive system information
from the printer.

Overview of the EJL commands
EJL commands must be sent immediately after the printer receives the universal
exit command; otherwise the printer returns to its default printer emulation.
Every EJL command starts with the string @EJL, which must be in uppercase
letters, although other commands can be in both uppercase and lowercase.
You must send the LF code at the end of an EJL command; only an LF code
terminates the EJL command. If the EJL command is not followed by an LF code,
the printer does not recognize it as an EJL command; it is then printed as a
character string in the current printer emulation.
If the printer emulation you attempt to switch to is not available, the printer
switches to the default printer emulation.
