-    The MK3S cannot not power off the MMU, for that reason the functionality is not supported.
+    ### M709 - MMU power & reset <a href="https://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M709:_MMU_power_&_reset">M709: MMU power & reset</a>
+    The MK3S cannot not power off the MMU, but we can en- and disable the MMU.
+
+    The new state of the MMU is stored in printer's EEPROM - i.e. if you disable the MMU via M709, it will not be activated after the printer resets.
     #### Usage
 
-        M709 [ X ]
+        M709 [ S | X ]
 
     #### Parameters
-    - `X` - Reset MMU (0:soft reset | 1:hardware reset)
+    - `X` - Reset MMU (0:soft reset | 1:hardware reset | 42: erase MMU eeprom)
+    - `S` - En-/disable the MMU (0:off | 1:on)
 
     #### Example
