70
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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 external
TallyCom ċ 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
”.
71
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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 1and is activated by
checking the box and clicking on the “Save” button.
72
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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.
73
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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:
74
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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 Enable checkbox 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 “;”.
75
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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.
76
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
97
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
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.

Protocols
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).

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.

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.
