as already suggested this PJL command maybe part of your setup_file.

This PJL command is a useful workaround for some printers with
Postscript
cards, where a problem with the printers firmware (IIRC) prevents the
printer from working with the network spooler (OUTSPTJ) at all, if the
postscript settings on the printer default to 'AUTO'-detection of
whether the incoming data is Postscript or PCL.

You will not need this command in your setup file with non-PostScipt
capable
printers.
