Remote Power Control
The Epic 880TM 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 manually turning the power off, remote
power mode leaves the communications active. All commands except the exit power
down command are ignored.

is cycled.

will reenter normal operation when the power is restored.
Note 2: This command is not available in all configurations mode.
