Configuration and Calibration

NOTE: Zebra Protocol is the same as ACK/NACK Protocol, except the response messages are sequenced.

NOTE: If Zebra Protocol is selected, the printer must use “DSR/DTR” Host Handshake Protocol.

Press the NEXT key to display NETWORK ID.

Setting the Network ID

Network ID is used to assign a unique number to a printer used in a selective calling network. This gives the host the means to address a specific printer. A Network ID is not required when connected in an Ethernet Network.

NETWORK ID

® 000 +

Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, and press the right oval key to increase the value of the selected digit.

Default: 000

Range: 000 - 999

Press the NEXT key to display COMMUNICATIONS.

Setting the Communications Mode

The Communications Diagnostics Mode is a tool to check the interconnection between the printer and the host. When DIAGNOSTICS is selected, all data sent from the host to the printer will be printed as an ASCII hex printout. The printer prints all ASCII characters received, including ASCII control codes (for example, CR [Carriage Return]). A sample printout is shown in Figure 10.

COMMUNICATIONS ¬NORMAL MODE®

Press the right or left oval key to display other selections.

Default: Normal Mode

NOTES on diagnostic printouts:

An FE indicates a framing error.

An OE indicates an overrun error.

A PE indicates a parity error.

An NE indicates noise.

For any errors, check that your commun- ication parameters are correct. Set the print width equal to or less than the label width used for the test.
