Stefano is right. From the Doc/INPUT_PROJWFC.txt input description:


    +--------------------------------------------------------------------
    Variables:      Emin, Emax

    Type:           REAL
    Default:        (band extrema)
    Description:    min & max energy (eV) for DOS plot
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't even need to specify them, as the code computes by default the PDOS for all the 
energies from the bottom of the valence band to the eigenavlue of the highest energy state 
   included in the pw.x calculation. You can later chose the desired plotting range with 
your favorite plotting program.
