Action/Explanation

 

Setting Network ID

Press the DECREMENT (-) key to move to the next

 

digit position, press the INCREMENT (+) key to increase the value of the digit.

 

Default: 000

 

 

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 INCREMENT (+) or

 

DECREMENT (-) 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 printer prints all characters received including

COMMUNICATIONS

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

 

Figure 32 on page 77.

 

 

 

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 42 for more information.
