5.6 Black Mark Parameters
This printer uses tractors to load fanfold forms with pre-printed black marks.
The printer requires 3 parameters to print on paper with black marks:
1. Horizontal offset of black mark from the edge of page (called Black Mark Physical
Horizontal Position); later on, this value facilitates the printer to locate its scanner
preparing for identifying the black marks.
2. Vertical offset of the first print line from the black mark (called Distance Offset From
Black Mark To Print Position); later on, the print makes use of this value to print the first
line relative to the black mark.
3. Vertical offset of the tear-off edge from the black mark (called Distance Offset From
Black Mark To Tear Position); this value informs the printer the tear-off position of the
page.
Not to skip or change the order of setting the above 3 parameters.
The procedures to set the parameters:
1. Hold down the Tear key while powering on the printer and then release the key when
the print head starts to move. After loading paper, the printer prompts the Printer
Settings
Printer Settings
[TEAR]=Back, [LF]=Next, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Exit,
[ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]=Save and restart the printer.
System Setup
2. Press the Next or Back keys to scroll forward or backward the sub-menus till the printer
shows:

3. Press OK to go into the BlackMark menu. The printer prompts:
[Black Mark Adjustment Mode]
[TEAR]= Back, [LF]= Next, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Exit,
[ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]= Save and restart the printer.
Black Mark Physical Horizontal Position
Press any key to eject the paper, and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold
Path.
4. The last prompt above advises you to press any key to unload the dialog form. Then

Tally Dascom 1140
5. Ensure to place the lever at position. Then press the Load/Eject key to load the black
marked form. The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade.
Press Next or Back until you see the black mark marginally exposed out of the tear-off
blade. Then press OK to allow the printer to scan the horizontal offset of the black mark
relative to the left edge of the page. (Meanwhile, the vertical position of the black mark
is measured and recorded.)
When the printer fails to scan the horizontal offset, it prompts you to repeat the above
procedures. If scanning is successful, it prompts:
Successfully setup black mark parameters.
Distance Offset From Black Mark To Print Position
6. The last prompt above invites you to set the next parameter --- vertical offset of the first
print line from the black mark. Like other setting dialogs, you have options:
1) to bypass this setting (by pressing Next or Back), (WARNING: Not to skip or change
the order in Black Mark Setting.)
2) to accept the invitation (by pressing OK),
3) to leave the subsequent settings (by press Exit), or
4) to terminate the session and save modified parameter(s) (by pressing Save and
Restart).
7. When you respond with “OK” to set the vertical offset, the printer prompts you to reload
a black marked fanfold form:
Press any key to eject the paper, and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold
Path.
The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or
Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the desired first print line position is reached.
(With the above measured vertical position, the printer will convert the net paper feeding
to the TOF relative to the black mark.) Press OK to confirm the vertical offset. Then the
print prompts the invitation for setting the tear-off position relative to the black mark:
Successfully setup black mark parameters.
Distance Offset From Black Mark To Tear Position
8. When you respond with OK to set the tear-off position, the printer prompts you to reload
a black marked fanfold form:
Press any key to eject the paper,and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold
Path.
The printer reloads the form. By default the form stops 5.5 inches away from the
printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the
desired tear-off position is reached. (With the above measured vertical position, the
printer will convert the net paper feeding to the tear-off position relative to the black
mark.) Press OK to confirm the tear-off offset relative to the black mark. Finally, press
Save and Restart to save new settings and terminate the session.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
5. Repeat the adjustment till two grid lines align satisfactory as “|”. Press “OK” again. The
printer asks if you want to save the correction:
Save the parameter settings ([LOAD/EJECT] or [ONLINE] = OK, [LF] = Next)?
Yes
At this stage, you have the options to save or give up the correction by pressing OK or Next,
respectively. If you respond with OK, an asterisk “*” appends to “Yes” to confirm saving
change.If you intend to give up the correction by pressing Next, the printer prompts a “No”

6 Customized Form
This printer allows the customization on the form length, Load/Eject, bottom margin and left
margin for single sheets and fanfold. Restore Factory Defaults can recover these default
values.
Selecting the Define value(s) in section 5.2 (Paper Setup menu) allows the printer to take up the
customized page formatting value(s).
The parameter setting procedures involve:
1. The printer prompts the dialogs and you follow the prompts.
2. Before every measurement or change, the print instructs you to unload the conversation
form from the printer.
3. With the exception of measuring the form length for cut sheets, always set the lever to
the tractors position .
4. For form length measurement, insert the customized form from the proper paper path.
The other six settings are actually done on general fanfold forms --- not the actual
customized form. Fanfold paper gives direct visual results on the TOF, bottom and left
margins even though cut sheets will be used in actual applicati

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 main before doing any
maintenance work.
7.1 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.
7.2 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.

7.3 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.
4. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen and the rollers and manually
rotate the paper feed knob.

8 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.
8.1 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, Serial: 15 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.

8.2 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.

8.3 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.
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.
8.4 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.

8.6 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.
