Selections: XON/XOFF, DSR/DTR, RTS/CTS

To change the value shown:

1.Press PLUS (+) or MINUS (-)to scroll through the options.

Set Protocol

Protocol is a type of error checking system. Depending on the selection, an indicator may be sent from the printer to the host computer signifying that data has been received. Select the protocol that is requested by the host computer. Further details on protocol can be found in the Programming Guide for ZPL, ZBI, Set-Get-Do, Mirror, and WML.

Default Value: NONE

Selections: NONE, ZEBRA, ACK_NAK

Set 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.

To change the value shown:

1.Press MINUS (-)to move to the next digit position.

2.Press PLUS (+) to increase the value of the digit.
