NETWORK ID

Network ID is used to assign a unique number to a printer used in

 

 

an RS-422/RS-485 network. This gives the host computer the

 

 

means to address a specific printer. If the printer is used in a

 

 

network, you must select a network ID number. This does not

 

 

affect TCP/IP or IPX networks.

 

 

 

 

 

Setting Communications Mode: Press the (+) or (–) key to

 

 

display other choices.

 

 

Default: Normal mode

 

 

Selections: Normal mode, diagnostics

 

 

The communication diagnostics mode is a troubleshooting tool for

 

 

checking the interconnection between the printer and the host

 

 

computer. When “diagnostics” is selected, all data sent from the

 

 

host computer to the printer is printed as straight ASCII hex

 

COMMUNICATIONS

characters. The printer prints all characters received including

 

 

control codes, like CR (carriage return). A sample printout is

 

 

shown in Figure 34 on page 81.

 

 

NOTES on diagnostic printouts:

 

 

• FE indicates a framing error.

 

 

• OE indicates an overrun error.

 

 

• PE indicates a parity error.

 

 

• NE indicates noise.

 

 

For any errors, check that your communication parameters are

 

 

correct. Set the print width equal to or less than the label width

 

 

used for the test. See page 46 for more information.
