Remote Power Control

®
The iTherm 280 Printer has a remote power control command that instructs it to enter
OFF mode. When the command is issued, the printer performs print cartridge
maintenance and enters OFF mode. Unlike pushing the * button, remote power mode
leaves the communications active. All commands except the exit power down command
are ignored.

Description Inquiry (ENQ) commands are accepted and answered in remote power
down mode. The printer reactivates if the * button is pressed or a power
up command is received.
Note 1: If power is lost after the power down command is issued, the
printer remembers it is in power down mode but does not reactivate the
communications link. The * button must be pushed to return the printer to
full operation.
Note 2: This command is not available in STAR mode.
