Remote Power Control
The POSjet
®
1500 Printer has a remote power control command that instructs it to enter STANDBY/OFF mode.
When the command is issued, the printer performs print cartridge maintenance and enters STANDBY/OFF. Unlike
pushing the * Button, remote power mode leaves the communications active. All commands except the exit power
down command are ignored.
Function Remote Power Control
ASCII [ESC] y <n>
Hexadecimal 1BH 79H <n>
Decimal <27> <121> <n>
IPCL &%YX17 or &%YX18
EPOS [ESC] y <n>
Where <n>= 17 Requests the printer to enter remote STANDBY/OFF mode.
18 Requests the printer to exit remote STANDBY/OFF mode.
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.
