NETWORK ID	Network ID is used to assign a unique number to a printer used in an RS-422/
	RS-485 network. This gives the host computer 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 computer. When “diagnostics”
	is selected, all data sent from the host computer to the printer is printed as
	straight ASCII hex characters. The printer prints all characters received
COMMUNICATIONS	including control codes, like CR (carriage return). A sample printout is shown in
	Figure 33 on page 79.
	NOTES on diagnostic printouts:
	• FE indicates a framing error.
	• OE indicates an overrun error.
	• PE indicates a parity error.
	• 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.
