NETWORK ID
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
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.
COMMUNICATIONS
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
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.
