Network ID

This parameter assigns a unique number to the printer when the printer is operating in

 

an RS422/485 multi-drop network environment (an external RS422/485 adapter is

 

required). This gives the host computer the means to address a specific printer. This

 

does not affect TCP/IP or IPX networks. Set a unique network ID number for this

 

printer.

 

 

 

Accepted values:

000 to 999
