#9208 @PJL Page or Banner Page With Output
The @PJL and banner page are each simply a single page of paper that preceeds the document that is being printed. Banner pages identify who sent the print job, and @PJL pages print out with two lines of code that are usually hidden by WordPerfect®. The @PJL page will be printed when the printer has opost turned on.
