6.3.20 Password
The Password page allows the user to set a password which would limit access to certain
configuration and action links in WebPanel. The maximum number of characters for the
password is 7. The default password is no password at all (“null“). However, “adm” is also
acceptable as the default password to be compatible with the TallyCom IIF-4 and external
TallyCom pocket NICs (Options), which use this as the default password. If this or no
password at all (“null“) is set as the password, all of the web pages are accessible by
everyone. If any other password is set, the first time a user accesses a password protected
page, a window will open asking for verification with user and password information. Once
the password has been successfully recognized, all password protected pages will be
available. Once the password is recognized, a timer is set, based on the Password Timer
value set in the General web page. If there is inactivity in the browser which lasts beyond the
timer time, the password will have to be reentered to access the protected pages.
The password page looks like this:
6.3.21 User Name
The default user name is “adm” and cannot be changed.
6.3.22 Resetting Password
In order to reset password the printer needs to be defaulted. See “Loading Default”.

6.3.23 Email Notification
With the email notification link the user will be able to set up and receive email notices for
error and status conditions of the printer. Up to 4 email addresses can be set.
The page looks like this:
The user must set up the SMTP Mail Server as well as one or more users. The Reply
address can be left as is unless there is reason to have to mail to the Reply address.
To activate the mail notification:
Select which notifications are to be sent out.
Click on the check box(es) on the right of the desired notification(s) for the particular
user(s).
Confirm your settings by clicking the Send button.
There is also a test mail option which sends a test email to “User 1” and is activated by
checking the box and clicking on the “Save” button.
T
ally Dascom 2610

The “Configure” link at the end of each line of notification options allows the user to set
up the message information for the email as well as selecting other pertinent information
to be added to the email. In addition, the timer can be set which determines when the
email notification is sent out.
The page looks like this:
In this example, the Online message is set to “Printer is Online”, and information on
Description, Location, and Printer Name will be added to the email. In this example, the event
timer is set for 10 seconds after the event occurs and will be sent only once, unless the printer
is rebooted or the state changes. If the timer is set to 0, no email message will be sent,
regardless of whether the user box has been selected. Selecting the “Save” button will set
these values.

6.3.24 Logical Printers
The logical printers page will add text or commands to the beginning and ending of print jobs.
This is done by pre and post strings, defined in each of the logical printers. For entering
binary data in these strings, the backslash character is used followed by 2 hexadecimal
digits.
Examples of this are \1b for an escape character, \0a for linefeed and \\ for backslash.
Selecting the Logical Printers link gives the following page which lists seven possible logical
printers plus Raw Port, which is port 9100:
T

71
When selecting one of the logical printers under the Description column, the following page is
displayed:
In this example if the Enable checkbox is checked, the pre-string of “Beginning to print job”
followed by a CR/LF will print at the beginning of every job sent to this LPR Queue. At the
end of the print job, the message “End of job” with a formfeed will print. Unchecking the
Enablecheckbox will not send the pre or post strings. The LPD Queue Name is the name of
the print queue that comes from the host. The Description can be changed by the user and
does not have to match the LPD Queue Name.
6.3.25 String Replacement Example Plain Text
Original Text / New Text
String Replacement Example Commands /\1B[8419t/\1B[4196t/
Control codes are entered with a back slash “\”.
In this example the Formlength of A4 (8419”/720) represented by “1B[8419t” is being
replaced by the string “1B[4196t” (4196”/720) which results in A5.
Multiple strings are separated by a semicolon “;”.

6.3.25 Logout of TallyCom
The Logout link disconnects the browser session from the printer. Clicking on the “Home”
link reestablishes the connection.
6.3.26 Restart TallyCom
Selecting this link will reboot the printer and disconnect the current printer connection. It is
used to reset certain TCP/IP variables that were set in the General and TCP/IP pages. Once
TallyCom has restarted, those new setting will take effect. When this link is selected, the
follow page is displayed, giving the user the option to continue or not.

6.3.27 Virtual Control Panel
The Virtual Control Panel link is in the Printer Status area of the web page. This control
panel is a visual representation of the actual control panel on the printer. It allows the user to
remotely read and set panel information as if they were standing at the control panel. The
functionality of the virtual panel is identical to the physical LCD panel.
Before using the virtual panel, it is important to configure the browser to allow popup
windows from the printer, otherwise the panel will not display. Once the browser is
configured, the page will look similar to this:
The Virtual Control Panel will be the active window. This window will show the current error
state and display the contents of the printer’s LCD display. Selecting the buttons on the
display will behave the same as if selecting the buttons on the printer itself. The LCD
information on the virtual panel refreshes every 15 seconds. The physical panel, virtual panel
and Online Status in the Printer Status are all active, so there may be some synchronization
delay issues if a user presses a button on the physical printer or the Online Status in the
Printer Status area. The Panel Lock feature affects the virtual panel in the same way as the
physical panel. The only functional difference between the physical and virtual panel is that in
the virtual panel, the LF/FF option will always do a FF.
To close the virtual panel, click on the X in the upper right of the window.
1) This feature needs the browser to allow pop ups.
2) The LED version unit does not support this function.

7.2.2 Barcode
Even the standard version of your printer has the possibility of using up to 23 different
MTPL barcode types.
Barcode mode can be accessed within every emulation. The user can
decide whether barcode is activated permanently or activated depending
on the situation by means of an escape sequence.
The printer prints small barcode in 240 dpi and wider barcodes in 120 dpi.

*These barcodes may be printed out horizontal and vertical, the unmarked only
horizontal.
1) See description on following pages.
The barcode types K, L, N, O may be expanded by using Add-On Barcodes:
Add-On 2 and Add-On 5.
The information to be printed is transmitted in a “bracket” (DC4) A control
sequence (Header) defines the parameters of the used barcode once (e.g. type,
ratio, etc.). If no header is defined, the informaton in the “bracket” will be printed
in Code 2/5 Matrix.
Please note that within the Barcode environment the barcode commands have
priority in case of conflicts with the emulation.
Additional information is provided in the Barcode Programmer’s
Application Manual on this CD-ROM.
7.2.4 US Postnet barcode
Postnet is a special US-American type of barcode. Is printed in character size. Numeric
values from 0 to 9 are printable.
After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9 (hex. 39) are
interpreted as barcode figures. All other characters terminate the Barcode mode.
Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode. The Postnet
sequence is accessible in every emulation.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which terminates the
barcode is not printed or carried out. US Postnet barcode does not require
a barcode bracket.
Example:
ASCII ESC [ 1 SP P 1 2 3 4 5 CR
HEX 1B 5B 31 20 70 31 32 33 34 35 0D
The numbers 1 to 5 are printed as Postnet stripes.
T
ally Dascom 2610

7.2.5 Royal Mail Customer barcode
The Royal Mail Customer barcode is a special Mail type barcode. It is printed in character size.
Numeric values from 0 to 9 and alpha- numeric values from A to Z are printable. After
activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex.30) to 9 (hex. 39) and
alphanumeric values from A (hex. 41) to Z (hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower
cases from a (hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital characters. Control
characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31) terminates this barcode mode. All other
characters are ignored. Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode.
The Royal Mail Customer sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer prints
barcode in LQ.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which terminates the barcode
is not printed or carried out.
Royal mail customer barcode does not required barcode bracket.
Example
:
ASCII ESC [ 1 SP k S O 3 6 X Y 1 A CR
HEX 1B 5B 31 20 6B 53 4F 33 36 58 59 31 41 0D
The characters “SO36XY1A” are printed as Royal Mail Customer stripes.
7.2.6 KIX barcode
The KIX barcode prints numeric values from 0 to 9 and alpha-numeric values from A to Z
as barcode characters.
After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9 (hex. 39) and
alphanumeric values from A(hex. 41) to Z (hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower
cases from a (hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital characters. Control
characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31) terminates this barcode mode. All other
characters are ignored. Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode.
The KIX sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer prints barcode in LQ.
The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which terminates the barcode
is not printed or carried out. KIX barcode does not require a barcode bracket.
Example
:
ASCII ESC [ 2 k S O 3 6 X Y 1 A CR
HEX 1B 5B 31 6B 53 4F 33 36 58 59 31 41 0D
The characters “SO36XY1A” are printed as KIX stripes.
7.2.7 USPS Intelligent Mail barcode
The USPS Intelligent Mail barcode is a 4-state barcode which works in MTPL, IBM and Epson
emulation. 4-state barcode data must be converted into only 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each number
represents one of the four possible bars. Tabs (Hex 09) and spaces can separate either the
bars or the barcodes horizontal, but every other character below Hex 20 will terminate
barcode mode.
You can enter the barcode mode with the sequence ESC [ ? 11 ~, the sequence ESC [ 10 ~
exits the barcode mode.
Example
:
ASCII ESC [ 9 SP K <data>
HEX 1B 5B 39 02 6B <data>

7.2.8 LC printing
Certain professional applications may require unusually Large character sizes. Therefore your
printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to factor 99 by means of
control sequences (LCP*).
The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once. This definition remains
until the printer is switched off. The printable LCP* information is transmitted in an LCP
“bracket” (SI).
The following character sets (with national characters) are available.
ID 232440 5B 5C 5D 5E 60 7B 7C7D7E

The character sets are selected via the following LCP sequence ESC ”P“ ”L“ ”S“ n ESC ”\“. The
value of n may range between 01 and 02 (as ASCII characters) – see ID column in the above
table.
To select e.g. the German character set, you must use the following data set:

7.3 Interfaces Specifications
Your matrix printer offers connectivity via a parallel interface, USB and Ethernet interface.
Serial I/O RS232C interface is an option. This appendix informs you about the parallel
Interface, USB, Ethernet interface and optional serial interface RS232C, and describes the
communication between your computer and the printer.
These interfaces are linked to form a called shared interface. Your printer can be configured to
use only one interface or three alternately. When only one interface is used, it is monitored by
the printer. If the printer is configured to use three interfaces simultaneously it monitors all
interfaces for incoming data. As soon as the printer recognizes a signal, it switches to the
respective interface and sends the BUSY signal to the other interface. After finishing the data
transmission, the printer remains switched to the interface for a certain period of time (30
seconds). When this time has elapsed, the controller again enables all interfaces and the
sequence described restarts. If incoming data is on the other interface and the current print
position is not “Top of Form”, a form feed is carried out.
T

94
7.3.1 Parallel I/O IEEE 1284
The bidirectional parallel interface offers the “nibble” mode of IEEE1284 interface. This
enables installation in accordance with Windows “Plug & Play”.
The standard parallel interface is able to transfer data at a speed of max. 30, 000 bytes per
second. When the receiving buffer is full, the data input is blocked until the data buffer is
empty.

Ethernet TCP/IP
When using your printer in a local network with Ethernet connections and the TCP/IP
protocol, you have to assign address information.
Address information for the Ethernet Port can only be made available by your
network administrator, who has the necessary rights to install Printers on the
network and/or make any changes.

◆ Memory mode XON/XOFF
The received characters are stored in a FIFO buffer (first in/first out).
The characters are processed in this buffer.
The buffer capacity can be adjusted from 0 to 128 Kb.
If the buffer is full, the interface signals NOT READY (signal acknowledgement: Level 1, -12 V)
and XOFF (hex. 13, dec. 19). This results in stopping the data transmission. When the FIFO
buffer is empty again, the interface signals READY (level 0, +12 V) and XON (hex.11, dec. 17).
Data transmission can be continued.
In addition, the READY signal is influenced by the status of the printer (On/Off Line). If the
printer assumes an undefined state, the interface also signals NOT READY and XOFF.
◆ Memory mode Robust XON/XOFF
Robust XON/XOFF is similar to XON/XOFF. However, the state of the printer (XON or XOFF)
is also periodically transmitted via the TxD line in the case of Robust XON/XOFF.

◆ ENQ/STX protocol
In addition to this XON/XOFF message, the possibility exists of requesting a status byte from
the printer using the ENQ code (hex. 05, dec. 5). The STX code (hex 02, dec. 2) is used to
clear any error messages (parity error, buffer overflow).

Clears any previous parity or framing error as well as any buffer overflow
error.
The current printer status is sent to the host.
This protocol is automatically used for data flow control and printer status
handling.
The STX and ENQ characters are not filtered out of the data stream and
control the interface in addition.
The STX and ENQ are filtered out of the data stream and handled immediately
by the interface.
◆ ETX/ACK protocol
ETX (hex03):
XON/XOFF:
ACK (hex06):
HandThr.=ON:
HandThr. =OFF:
Acknowledgement informing the host that further data may be transmitted.
This protocol is used in addition to data flow control and printer status
handling.
Block end character.
An ETX is not acknowledged by ACK before all previously arrived data have
been printed.
When the printer receives an ETX, it returns an ACK to the host. Any
previously sent data or blocks may still be present in the printer buffer.
◆ ACK/NAK protocol
The ACK/NAK Protocol is a so called block Protocol.
Normally the Blocks are starting with the Block Start Character (STX, dec 02, hex 02) and end
with a Block End Character (ETX, dec 03, hex 03).
As soon as a Block is received by the printer it acknowledges it with the Acknowledge
Character (ACK, dec 06, hex 06).
If there is an Error in the transmission a Not-Acknowledge-Character (NAK, dec 21, hex 15) is
being sent back. As a block end character other codes are possible.
One can check the printer condition/status; During the transmission of graphic data or
download character per se problems can come up within the block mode as in this data block
end characters can be transmitted as normal graphic or other data.

10 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.
Switch printer off and unplug the power cord from the mains before doing any
maintenance work.
10.1 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.
10.1.1 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.
10.1.2 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 hand wheel.
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.

10.2 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.
10.2.1 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.
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.

10.2.2 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.
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 tightly.
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.
10.2.3 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 ,
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.
