Windows drivers to temporarily disable or alter select commands use Windows
control flags. Windows print drivers are based on non-POS printers. To allow these
drivers to better operate in a POS environment, the printer can be instructed to ignore
or alter the operation of select commands on the next occurrence. This command
should not be used by typical applications.

Where <n> is the printer address, addresses of A, B, or C are configurable.
In multidrop mode, the printer must be addressed. This is the addressing command. If
the printer is configured with an address of 'A,' the printer will operate when
addressed. When any other address is sent to the printer, it will enter print suppress
mode. An address of 'Z' is a universal address and will always activate the printer.
