Yes, that is correct.

I think, that must be either er very old or a very new PCL command.
From where do you know this command? I cannot locate it in anywhere in...
Ok.
I am just afraid, you'll have to realize that there is not.
And, as far as I can conclude, the reason for that, is that there is no need for it, since you can do it with the <ESC>&l###e###F and <ESC>&a###l###M.
I still can't figure out why that isn't good enough... ;-)
The available PJL commands depend on what printer you are using. In the PCL TechRef appendix A you can see which PJL commands are available on which HP-models.
The command you wish for is not available on any HP-printer. The PJL commands mostly handles settings, you can specify on the printer's...
Ok.
Maybe it isn't possible. I haven't heard of it before...
But what actually puzzles me is, why do you need to do it?
Perhaps if you explain your needs, it would be possible to describe an alternate way around it...!

Do you mean "page width"? (even though you write "weight" twice...) ;-)
You can't define anything called "page width" either. You can define Left and...

It is. The macros are downloaded with IDs 1 to 6...
Thank you for replying,
Actually the issue here is probably not the size of the job. But more the speed, or rather the time consumed by the printer's controller while printing the job.
A typical job is around 3Mb, including 6 overlay-pages resulting in ie. 50,000 printed pages. A smaller job...
Hi,
In my efforts regarding this topic, I recently discovered the PCLdiet program from http://www.walterware.com/pcldiet.html. This program might be just what I am looking for, so I contacted Mr Walter by email with an attached PCL-file for testing. But it seems, that he is not responding. More...
