Select RS 485 if using an RS 485 protocol, otherwise leave blank. The optional
RS-232 to RS-485 adapter allows for up to 26 Apollo printers to be connected to
the port. Accessing individual printers is accomplished by assigning each
connected printer its own network address from the printer's front panel. Each
printer is then configured to match this address. At print time, simply choose
which printer in the print screen to send the job to.
