move to the next digit position, press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL

NETWORK ID

Range: 000 - 999

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an RS-422/RS-485 network. This gives the host 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 RIGHT or LEFT

 

 

 

 

BLACK OVAL 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. When “diagnostics” is selected, all data sent from the host

 

 

 

 

to the printer will be printed as straight ASCII hex characters. The

 

 

 

COMMUNI-

printer prints all characters received including control codes, like

 

 

 

CR (carriage return). A sample printout is shown in Figure 36 on

 

 

 

CATIONS

page 85.

 

 

 

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 communication parameters are correct. Set the print width equal to or less than the label width used for the test. See page 48 for more information.
