Turning off Auto-Shutdown

Is there a way to turn off the "auto shutdown" of Instax Share sp3?

I was hoping that sending some commands (like getPrinterInformation) every minute will make it never go to sleep, but it does not work.

Anybody has a clue how to turn off the shutrdown feature? Maybe I should send some other commands?

I'm afraid it's impossible. Experiments with sp2 shown that any command constantly streamed to the printer don't prevent it from the shutdown

@ptakptakptak I know this is coming late, but in the "instax SHARE" app, it's possible to change the auto shutdown value through "Settings > Printer setting > Automatic power off setting" - at least with the SP-2 I would imagine that if this function is available in the app, there would be a way to mimic the message programmatically as well.

I don't think there was the ability to change this setting in the app when I first wrote this library, so this might be one of the commands that I implemented at the packet level, but never opened the API up for. I'll have a play this week to see if I can add this feature in.
