3 Paper Installation Guide
The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called cut sheets, include
envelopes and non-continuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms include labels and multipart forms fed into
the printer using the forms tractors. The printer is able to print 1~5 plies multipart paper.
Do not load paper that has been folded or is damaged, wrinkled, or curled.
Adjusting the Print Gap Lever
The print gap lever is on the left side of the printer inside the top cover. Take care to adjust the print gap lever
to a suitable position whenever you change the number of copies being printed. Using the wrong print gap
may cause print head damage or paper jams.

Friction Feed Handling
1. Move the paper-feed lever forward to “
” for friction feed mode.
2. Adjust the print gap lever if necessary.
3. Raise the single sheet feeder until it locks into its mounting. Align the left paper guide with the mark on the
left of the single sheet feeder. Adjust the right paper guide to the width of the paper used.
4. Insert a sheet of paper. Make sure that the bottom edge of the paper engages snugly with the platen.
5. The paper should advance automatically to the print position. The printer is now ready to print in the online
state.
11
Tally Dascom 1125
Tractor Feed Handling
1. Move the paper-feed lever backward to “
” for continuous paper position.
2. Adjust the print gap lever if necessary.
3. Raise the tractor doors and fit the first 3 paper holes onto the left tractor pins. Close the left tractor door. In

tolerance should be less than 3 cm.
3. Front and back positioning: The distance between the rear of printer and the wall should be more than 60
cm. To avoid paper jam, the distance between the continuous paper and the edge of desk should be
10~15 cm.

5 Printer Setting Changes
To meet your own print requirements, the printer configurations may be changed as follows: Hold down the
Tear Off key while powering on the printer, release the Tear Off key when the print head starts to move. The
printer will print out the current settings and then enter Main Menu setup state. Follow the instructions
printed on how to make setting changes. When a new setting is saved, it is retained after the printer has been
powered off.
The Main Menu is grouped into 5 sub-menus: System Setup, Page Setup, Print Setup, Interface Setup and
Advanced Setup. A detailed description of the sub-menus is given below. The settings in bold and italic refer
to the default settings. The settings below are provided in the following order of languages: English,

6 Maintenance
Your printer requires very little care. Occasional cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge are all that is
required. Cleaning is recommended approximately every 6 months or 300 hours of operation, whichever is
sooner. Lubrication of the printer is not usually necessary. If the print head carriage does not move smoothly
back and forth, clean the printer in the manner described in this chapter. If the problem continues, contact
your dealer to determine whether lubrication may be necessary.
Switch printer off and unplug the power cord from
the mains before doing any maintenance work.
Cleaning
The housing and the top cover of the printer help protect it against dust, dirt, and other contaminants.
However, paper produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer. This section explains how to clean
and vacuum the printer and how to clean the paper bail rollers. It is easier to clean the printer when the cover
is open.
Cleaning and Vacuuming the Printer
If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth or paper particles have accumulated in the
printer, clean the printer.
To clean and vacuum the printer:
1. Remove any paper from the printer. Make sure that the power is off, and then disconnect the printer
power cord.
2. Using a soft vacuum brush, vacuum the exterior of the printer. Also vacuum the cut sheet edge.
3. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer, including the cover. A mild detergent may be
used. Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials that may damage the printer.
4. Open the cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Using a soft vacuum brush, gently vacuum
the platen, the print head carriage and shaft, and surrounding areas. You can easily slide the print head to
the left or right when the power is off. Be careful not to press too hard on the flat head cable that extends
from the print head carriage.
5. Re-install the ribbon cartridge.
6. Remove the single sheet feeder and clean the form tractors and the surrounding areas.
7. Re-install the single sheet feeder.
Cleaning the Paper Rollers
Clean the platen and paper bail rollers occasionally or when stains or smudges appear on the paper. Use a mild
detergent as appropriate. Do not use alcohol to clean the platen or the rollers. Alcohol may cause the rubber to
harden.
To clean the rollers and the platen:
1. Apply a small amount of water to a soft cloth. Avoid spilling liquid inside the printer.
2. Place the cloth against the platen and manually rotate the paper feed knob.
3. Repeat this procedure for each roller.
39

4. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen and the rollers and manually rotate the paper feed
knob.

• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both
the printer and the mains power outlet.
The power does not turn on.
• Make sure that the power outlet is functional. If not so, use
other outlet.
• Turn the power off. Wait a minute and then turn the printer on
again. If the printer still has no power, contact your dealer.

• Make sure paper is loaded.
• Run the printer Status Page. If printing executes normally, the
problem is caused by: the interface, the computer, incorrect
printer settings, or incorrect software settings.
• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the
same as the emulation selected on the printer.

Diagnostic Functions
The printer diagnostic functions are Self-Test page, hex-dump mode and print alignment adjustment.

Self-Test page: Tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware
is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect
software settings, the interface, or the computer.

HEX-DUMP MODE: Allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands
to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to
programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.

PRINTING ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT: Allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s
vertical line print alignment in bi-directional mode.
For details on using these functions, please refer to chapters 4 and 5.
44
Tally Dascom 1125
Firmware Update
Sometimes it is necessary update the firmware to solve a problem. The latest firmware file may be obtained
from your dealer or downloaded from our website www.dascom.com. Before upgrading firmware, it is
strongly recommended to print the Main Menu page to keep a record of the old settings.
Note: Firmware update should only be performed by an authorized service person. We disclaim any
responsibility for any damage caused if it is performed by any other person.
To load new firmware, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the printer. Connect your PC to the parallel port on the printer.
2. Press and hold down all 4 keys (S1, S2, S3, S4) while powering on the printer.
3. Alternate flashing of L3 and L4 LEDs indicates printer is ready for firmware update. L1 and L2 LEDs
are ON and OFF respectively.
4. Go to the DOS prompt window. Copy the firmware file (with extension .MOT) to your printer as
follows:
COPY /B .mot PRN
5. When new firmware is being received, L3 and L4 LEDs are set to ON. L1 LED flashes a few times,
then sets to ON. L2 LED flashing indicates downloading in progress.
Note: Do not interrupt the downloading process to prevent possible flash memory corruption.
6. When downloading is completed, the carriage returns to home position. Printer initializes normally.
Alternatively, you can use the Firmware Flash Tool version 3.5 or higher which is available in the CDROM and
our website as well. Upon starting up the tool, choose the correct file and press "Update".
