Your printer can use various types of media: •  Standard  media—Most  standard  (non-continuous)  media  uses  an  adhesive  backing  that  sticks individual labels or a continuous length of labels to a liner. • Continuous roll media—Most continuous roll media is direct thermal media (similar to FAX paper) and is used for receipt or ticket style printing. •  Linerless  media—Linerless  labels  have  an  adhesive  backing,  but  they  are  wound  onto  a  core without a liner. The media typically is perforated and may have black marks on the bottom surface of the  media  to  indicate  label  separations.  The  top  surface  of  linerless  media  labels  have  a  special coating  that  keeps  the  labels  from  sticking  to  each  other.  The  printer  must  be  equipped  with  a special  Linerless  option  to  be  able  to  use  linerless  media  to  keep  the  media  from  sticking  to  the printer. • Tag stock—Tags are usually made from a heavy paper (up to 0.0075in./0.19mm thick). Tag stock does not have adhesive or a liner, and it is typically perforated between tags. For more information on basic media types, see the following table. The printer typically uses roll media, but you can use fan-fold or other continuous media too. Use the correct  media  for  the  type  of  printing  you  require.  You  must  use  direct  thermal  media.  When printing  without  a ribbon,  you  must  use  direct  thermal  media.  When  using  ribbon,  you  must  use thermal transfer media. Media Type How it looks Description
Tally Dascom DL-210                                          User Guide V1.3  4 Non-Continuous Roll Media   Roll media is wound on a core that can be 0.5 to 1.5 in.  (12.7  to  38.1  mm)  in  diameter.  Labels  have adhesive  backing  that  sticks  them  to  a  liner,  and they are separated by gaps, holes, notches, or black marks.  Tags  are  separated  by  perforations. Individual labels are  separated  by  one  or  more  of  the  following methods: •  Web  media  separates  labels  by  gaps,  holes,  or notches.  • Black mark media uses pre-printed black marks on the back side of the media to indicate label separations.  • Perforated media has perforations that allow the labels  or  tags  to  be  separated  from  each  other easily.  The  media  may  also  have  black  marks  or other separations between labels or tags.  Non-Continuous Fanfold Media    Fan-Fold media is folded in a zigzag pattern. Fanfold media  can  have  the  same  label  separations  as non-continuous roll media.   The separations would fall on or near the folds. Continuous Roll Media   Roll media is wound on a core that can be 0.5 to 1.5 in. (12.7  to 38.1 mm)  in  diameter. Continuous roll media does not have gaps, holes, notches, or black marks to indicate label separations. This allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label. A cutter can  be  used  to  cut  apart  individual  labels.  With continuous  media,  use  the  transmissive  (gap) sensor  so  the  printer  can  detect  when  the  media runs out.

When  self-test  is  OK  but  on-line  printing  error  occurs,  you  can  check  the  communication between  PC  and  program  via  Hexadecimal  Dump  mode.  In  Hexadecimal  Dump  mode,  the printer  will  print  out  hexadecimal  data  once  it  receives  the  signal  from  host.  You  can  ask technical service for analysis.  The printer starts printing “HEX DUMP PRINT MODE” followed by the received data printed in hexadecimal numbers and some characters.   CAUTION!  The printer prints “.” if there is no characters corresponding to data.  During hexadecimal dump, functions except some command will be disabled.  If print data does not cover a line, press the FEED switch to print the line.   Printing example: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ           Press the FEED button one time to feed the last line after the printer stops printing so as  to return to the normal mode.

Blurred or spot printing Incorrect media roll installation Check media roll and re-load it properly Media is out of specification Use recommended media Dirty thermal print head or platen Clean print head or platen Ribbon is out of specification Use recommended ribbon Low print density Increase the print density (heat) Print  with  Ribbon  on  Direct Thermal paper Remove ribbon Self-test fail Hardware problem Contact service representatives Media jam Label stuck Check media path and clean jammed label, refer to Chapter 5 Section 5.3 Printer skips labels  Label positioning problem or label size  setting  exceeds  the  physical size. Execute label calibration (refer to Chapter 4 section 4.3).If it doesn’t work, you have to verify the label size setting is correct or not. Printer feeds blank labels Print  without  ribbon  on  transfer thermal paper Install ribbon Paper size setting correct but  the  printout  is crooked,  skewed,  or off-center. Label did not calibrate correctly Execute label calibration (refer to Chapter 4 section 4.3). 5.2 Resetting the Factory Default Values Sometimes, resetting the printer to the factory defaults may solve some problems. There are two methods to set to factory setting: Method  one:  Hold  down  Feed  Key  and  switch  on  printer  till  Power  LED  blinks  four  times, buzzer beeps four times. Method two: through setup tool, choose restore all setting on printer setup page.   5.3 Removing Jammed Label  Printhead may be hot, please do not touch!  (1) Turn printer off, open top cover and turn up print head mechanism. (2) Remove the jammed label and ribbon, clean the print head with a cotton swab with alcohol in case of ribbon paste on print head and cause poor print quality. (3) Reload media.

Be careful not to touch it and to let it cool before you clean it.    Do  not  damage  the  print  head  by  touching  it  with  your  fingers  or  any  hard object.  Turn off the printer, open the top cover and remove ribbon, clean the thermal elements of the print head with  a cotton swab moistened with  alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl).  Be gentle with the cleaning so as not to damage the printhead.  We recommend cleaning the thermal print head periodically (generally every 3 months) to maintain print quality.  5.5 Maintenance DL-210 is designed for a long and reliable lifetime. But periodic maintenance is recommended in order to assure error free working. This also would guarantee the good print quality over the life time. It is recommended to clean the printer once every six months or after 300 hours duty.   Before cleaning, switch off the printer, wait a few seconds and unplug the power cord.  Open the cover and remove the dust, paper shreds and other debris from inside by using a soft vacuum cleaner or a brush.  In  order  to remove  the  dirt,  you  can  wipe  clean  the  machine  with  a  soft  cloth  dipped  in alcohol instead of the ketone or TEC solvent which may cause damage to the plastic parts. Please be aware that excessive moisture will lead to the improper functioning of electronic parts.  Clean the platen roller with soft cloth.  While you are cleaning the printer, in order to avoid short circuit, do not damage or loose the cable or electronic parts, do not drop metal material inside, such as Paper Clips or Pins.
