Appendix E. Addressing a 9490 Printer

This appendix describes how to print supplies from a 9490
printer used with the Monarch® 9476



Mobile Printing Station.

The Station allows multiple printers to share a common
communication cable.

To use an individual printer on the Station, you must

✦

Define a unique address for each printer.

✦

Select a printer.

✦

Send format and batch packets to the selected printer.

Addressing the Printer –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

These steps describe how to address printers that share a
common communication cable.

Step 1. Define the Printer Address

You can define or change a printer address by sending the
communication settings packet. Make sure you assign a
unique address to each printer.

✦

Turn off all the printers except the one you want to address.

✦

Do not assign 000000 as a printer address.
