It's probably disabled. This suggests it's the computer concepts one then
since the Acornsoft one responds even if turned off.

A quick nosey at the disassembly shows top bit of &3A4 is being used, so

 ?&3A4=?&3A4 AND127
 *HELP

will wake it up and

 *HELP GRAPHICS

lists the commands. Further inspection shows unknown OSBytes (service call
7) are filtered off before testing top bit of &3A4, and that a

 *FX162,<number> 

writes <number> to the flags@&3A4 amongst other things, presumably the
manual would detail the relevance of other bits in this location,
