MF731Cdw remote wake?

Is there any way to remotely wake up this printer? It doesn't come out of sleep mode when I send a print job and the only way to wake it is to walk across the building and manually turn it on. I've scoured the manual and the internet and cant seem to find anything. Is the only option to disable sleep altogether?

I just found the solution so I'll update for anyone with the same issues. To get the printer to wake when a print job is sent you need to create a new port on your computer. Open control panel, go to devices and printers, right click on your printer, and go to printer properties. Then follow the instructions in this post.
