Remote Power Down

®
The POSjet 1500 has a command that instructs it to turn the printer into STANDBY/OFF mode. When the
command is issued, the printer performs print cartridge maintenance and enters STANDBY/OFF. Unlike pushing
the * Button, remote power down mode leaves the communications active. All commands except the exit power
down command are ignored.
If the * Button is pressed after the power down command is issued, the printer will reactivate. If power is lost after
the power down command is issued, the printer will remember it is in STANDBY/OFF mode, but will not reactivate
the communications link. The * Button must be pressed to restart the printer.

Self-Test Hints and Suggestions

If the printer fails to complete or enter into self-test mode, disconnect it from the application system.
