controlling the downloading of objects into flash memory. When this command is
received, the printer leaves normal operation and can no longer print transactions until
the Reboot the Printer command (1D FF) is received or the printer is rebooted.
This command does not affect the current communication parameters. Once the printer
is in flash download mode, this command is no longer available.
