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
printer prints all characters received including control codes, like
CR (carriage return). A sample printout is shown in Figure 34 on
page 91.
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 52 for more information.
