Network ID This parameter assigns a unique number to the print engine when the print engine is
operating in an RS422/485 multi-drop network environment (an external RS422/485
adapter is required). This gives the host computer the means to address a specific print
engine. This does not affect TCP/IP or IPX networks. Set a unique network ID number
for this print engine.
