Slip Setup

Slip media refers customized forms specific to each application. Each slip may have its own unique top margin

or left margin. This is called the slip profile. The Slip setting provides a convenient way to set the printer top

and left margin settings to the slip profile at the press of a panel key without the need to manually change the

top and left margins, whenever you want to do your slip printing. Likewise, should you decide to print on

standard paper forms, you can exit from the slip profile easily at the press of a panel key.

To configure the slip top and left margin parameters, please do the followings:

1. Power up printer while pressing 【LF / FF】 key until the print head starts moving, then let go.

2. Load paper. The printer prints the few lines below.

Slip Setup

【LF / FF】 = OK 【Te a r O f f 】 = Back 【Load / Eject】 = Next 【Online】 = Exit

Current Setting: Fanfold Top Margin

3. Press the 【Load / Eject】 key to scroll to the item you want to change. The available items are Fanfold Top

Margin, Fanfold Left Margin, Single Top Margin and Single Left Margin. To select the item, press 【LF / FF】

key. In the above example, the printer will print out:

Fanfold Top Margin

【LF / FF】 Press: PrevSetup

Fanfold Top Margin 0mm

4. Press the 【Load / Eject】 key to increase by 1 mm, or press the 【Tear Off】 key to reduce 1 mm. The

range is 0~65 mm.

5. Press the 【LF / FF】 key to confirm the current selection. To save selection into memory, press the 【LF

/ FF】 key. If you do not want to save, use the 【Load / Eject】 key to scroll to “No” before pressing the

【LF / FF】 key to confirm.

6. Press the 【Online】 key to exit from Slip Setup.

Tally Dascom 1325

5. Printer Setting Changes

In order to meet individual 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 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.

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.

Tally Dascom 1325

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

knob.

Tally Dascom 1325

7 Troubleshooting

Your printer is extremely reliable, but occasionally problems may occur. This chapter provides information on

some of the common problems you may encounter and how you may solve them. If you encounter problems

that you cannot resolve, contact your dealer or service partner for assistance.

Print Quality Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

Printing is too light or too dark.

• Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed and that

the ribbon feeds smoothly.

• Replace the ribbon if necessary.

• Make sure that the print gap lever is set for the thickness of your

paper.

Smears and stains appear on the

page.

• Make sure that the print gap lever is set for the thickness of your

paper.

• Check for ribbon wear. Replace the ribbon if necessary.

• Check whether the tip of the print head is dirty. Clean the head

with a soft cloth if necessary.

• The print head may need to be replaced.

Printing is erratic or the wrong

characters are printed. Many “?”

or unexpected characters are

printed.

• Make sure that the interface cable is securely connected to both

the printer and computer.

• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the

same as the emulation selected on the printer.

• Check the length of the interface cable. (Maximum Parallel &

USB: 2 meters)

• Try another interface cable.

The page is blank. • Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed.

• Make sure the gap lever is set correctly.

Printing is vertically misaligned

(jagged).

Use the printer's vertical alignment function to check the vertical

print alignment. If necessary, adjust the print alignment.

The top margin is wrong. • Check the application top margin setting.

• Adjust the Top Margin setting in Page Setup menu if necessary.

Lines are double spaced instead of

single spaced. Change the Auto LF setting in the System Setup menu to No.

The printer overprints on the same

line. Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to No.

The next print line starts where

the previous line ended instead of

at the left margin.

Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to Yes.

Tally Dascom 1325

Paper Handling Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

Paper cannot be loaded or fed.

• Make sure that the paper select lever located on the top right of

the printer is set correctly. Move the lever to the front for single

sheets or to the rear for continuous forms.

• Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sensor.

Paper jams while loading.

• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any

obstructions from the paper path.

• Make sure that the Print Gap lever is set for the thickness of

your paper.

• Make sure that the paper is not folded, creased, or torn.

• Make sure that the left and right tractors are set so that the

continuous forms are stretched taut.

Paper jams while printing.

• Turn off the printer and remove the jammed paper. Remove any

obstructions from the paper path.

• Make sure that the Print Gap lever is set for the thickness of

your paper.

• For continuous forms, make sure that the incoming and

outgoing paper stacks are correctly placed. Paper should feed

straight.

Paper slips off the forms tractors

or the perforated holes of the

paper tear during printing.

Make sure that the forms tractors are positioned correctly for the

width of your paper and that the perforated holes of the paper fit

directly over the tractor pins.

Operating Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

The power does not turn on.

• Check whether the mains voltage is correct.

• Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to both

the printer and the mains power outlet.

• 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.

Tally Dascom 1325

The printer is on but it will not

print.

• Make sure that the Online indicator is lit.

• If you use the interface cable, make sure it is securely

connected to both the printer and the computer.

• 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.

Paper select lever error

If paper is loaded and the paper select lever is moved to the

incorrect position, the printer turns offline, and the buzzer sounds

continuously. Switch the paper select lever back to its correct

position.

Printer Failures

A user cannot generally resolve a problem involving defective printer hardware. Power off and on again the

printer to recover any fatal error. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact your dealer or service partner.

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.

Tally Dascom 1325

Firmware Update
