power.dtr_power_off

Type: getvar; setvar
This parameter refers to the remote printer power control. DTR power off
is used for power management. When DTR is enabled, the DSR signal can
turn the printer on and off. When DTR power off is enabled, a low to
high transition causes the printer to turn on and a high to low transition
causes the printer to turn off. The printer stays on as long as DSR is high
unless it reaches low battery shutdown or receives a command to shut
down.
Note: The inactivity time-out is disabled while DSR is active.
getvar result Returns the current DTR power-off setting.
