When using PCL for printing in HP mode, there's a printer job language called JPL.

Typically you start your job with a universal escape sequence [ESC]%-12345X@PJL

Searching on the web I found this for Canon & PJL: http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/software/utils/pcl_page7.html

which contains this:

Here is a very basic example of a PJL job.

%-12345X@PJL
@PJL SET DUPLEX=ON
@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET STAPLE=TWOLEFT
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL
%-12345X

Notice there is no @PJL or at the end of the job.
== End Quote==

so in the link bellow I found this:

For example, insert this into the Job stream header
@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET DEVICE = MAILBOX
@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET MAILBOXNUMBER = 00

== and ==

@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET USERID = 1111
@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET USERNAME = steve
@PJL COMMENT CANPJL SET USERPWD = 1234
== End Quote ==
