Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
Installing the paper
The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. The printer is able to
print up to 5 copies (original plus 5).
To ensure the print quality and protect the print head, set a proper print gap by
the gap lever (see 3.1) for the form thickness and do not load folded, damaged,
wrinkled, or curled paper.
3.1
Adjusting the print gap for various form thicknesses
The print gap lever is on the left side of the printer inside the top cover.
Take care to adjust the print gap lever to a suitable position whenever you change the
number of copies being printed. Using the wrong print gap may cause print head
damage or paper jams.
The recommended gap lever position for different form thickness is:
Paper type
1-part
Original + 1 copy
Original + 2 copies
Original + 3 copies
Original + 4 copies
Original + 5 copies
Lever position
The position âRibbonâ only is suitable for loading the ribbon. When the lever is set
higher than appropriate it will result in poor print. The ribbon and head life will be
shortened.

äş Clear Buffer and Reset
The printer has high capacity storage (buffer) to store the data from the host computer.
Sometimes it is required to halt the printing to clear a fault. Resuming the printing at this point
may cause erratic printouts because some of the un-processed data in the buffer may be
truncated. Therefore, it is recommended clearing the buffer after the recovery with following
procedures: (Turning off the printer is an alternative)
1) Terminate the print job in the host.
2) Press theÉ OnlineÉ key to bring the printer off-line. The printing will stop, but un-processed
data still resides in the buffer.
3) HoldÉ OnlineÉ and ÉLoad/EjectÉ keys simultaneously. The buffer will be cleared and the
printer will automatically warm boot.
4) Probably you need to repeat step 2-3 times as the print job in the host spooler may be very
large.

Setting parameters for the printer
(Programming via the control panel)
Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications software you use, you
can also program the printer directly. There are two programming options you can use:
ĆšProgramming via the control panel.
ĆšProgramming via the interface using Escape sequences or control codes.
Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings made in menu
mode; therefore they will override these.
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for designing your printed
pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated method and requires some experience
with programming languages and printer control systems.
All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer, whereas the
programming carried out using the control panel is saved and stored even after you turn
off
the printer.

Menu configurations
Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as emulation,
character size, form length etc., which many applications make use of, are set. At the end
of this chapter you will find a menu printout which shows you the printerâs default
settings.
Your printer allows you to set and use five independent menu configurations. If one of
your applications, for example, requires an IBM printer while another program works
better with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation configuration with the
desired settings, and set the second configuration as an EPSON emulation.
The active menu is always the one you used last. When you switch on the printer for the
very first time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no.1 only remains active until you load
another menu. The last active menu is stored even after the printer is switched off and is
reloaded automatically when the printer is switched on again.
For example, to change from menu no. 1 to menu no. 3:
Press Setup key.
Press Menu (1) key.
Press Menu (3) key.
Now the following message appears in the LC display:
Now press the < (2) or > (3) key repeatedly until Load

appears.
Then select menu no. 3 as the current setting using the Set
key
(1). The currently active setting is marked with an asterisk
(*).
If changing menus it is possible that the printer initializes due to different
emulation settings.

Menu handling
You can navigate in the current menu using the four function and selection keys
arranged below the LC display field. Each function and parameter displayed in the LCD
is executed or selected by the corresponding key below, respectively. Usually two
parameter groups are combined at one level. In the following example, these are the
LPI and Skip parameter groups.
If you do not wish to change one of the two parameters you can either press the Next
key (to access the two following parameter groups in the menu), or you can press the
Back key (to access the two previous parameter groups in the menu).
If you want to change a setting, (e.g. the line density), then press the LPI key (LPI = lines
per inch) to access the actual parameter level.
The currently valid setting is marked by an asterisk (in the example below the
current setting is 6 lpi). With the < and > keys you can view the other parameters
available for
this setting.
Example:
Save settings
Once the desired parameter is displayed on the LC display, you can save it by pressing
the Set key. The parameter is then set and the printer automatically displays the
parameter groups again. With the Exit key you can leave the sublevel without saving
your changes.

Selecting the LC display language
This section describes how to make settings in the menu, using the selection of the
national
language as an example.
In this user guide all LC display messages are shown in English language. Your printer
offers also the possibility to show the display messages in German, French, Italian,
Spanish or Turkish language. This example shows how to change from the English
language to the German language. The same procedure applies to the other languages
(French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish).
Select the Setup mode by pressing the Setup key.
Setup mode and Menu mode may be disabled. Hold
down the Setup key while switching on the printer to
enable menu mode. If you want to enable access to
this
mode permanently, you need to change the
appropriate
setting in the menu.
Press the next key (4) several times until the display indicates
Language.
Press the Language key (3).
The display now changes to Parameter mode and
indicates
English in the top line.
The lower line displays Set and Exit. The two arrows < (2)
and > (3) represent the symbols for parameter selection
(â<â indicates descending and â>â ascending). Press the
(2) or > (3) key until the desired language is displayed, in
our example German.
Save your selection by pressing the Set key (1). An acoustic
signal verifies this action.
You can exit Parameter mode without saving a setting
by
pressing the Exit key (4), the old setting is retained.
After saving your setting (Set), the display in our example
Ges.Men indicates the following text:
33
Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7
This setting is retained even after switching off
your printer.Terminating Setup mode press either
the Setup key to change into Offline mode or the
Online key to change to Online mode.

To check operational readiness, your
printer contains a self-test routine
which allows testing of the printer
configuration, the print quality and
correct operation of your printer.
With the interface test
(Hex-Dump/H-Dump) you can test
data transmission from the computer
to the printer. During this test, the
data from the computer is printed out
in two columns. The text in the left
column is printed in hexadecimal
format and in the right column in
ASCII format.
The Formlen function allows you to
set the basic (default) form length to
meet your requirements. 11 inches are
usual in the USA, as opposed to 12
inches in Europe.

IP Configuration
6.2.1
Network IP Configuration
The network interface of the printer requires an IP address.
There are several ways to assign an IP address to the printer:
äş DHCP (A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server assigned IP address.)
äş Static (An IP address obtained from your network administrator added to the
printer
manually.)
äş BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol server assigned IP address.)
6.2.2
Assigning the IP Address
If the printer menu is locked, please see the 4.2.5.
1. Automatic DHCP IP address assignment:
äş Press , then .
äş Press until the I/O selection appears. Select .
äş Press until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select .
äş Press until the IP Get M selection appears. Select Select .
äş Verify that your printer was assigned an IP address by printing the âCurrent Settingsâ
configuration page or in the operator panel menu.
1) At power-up, the printer network interface broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP
address. If a DHCP server is present, the request will be processed, and an IP
address will be returned to the printer network interface. Upon receipt of the IP
address, the printer accepts and uses this new IP address (and subnet mask, and
default gateway, if any).
2) Once an IP address has been assigned, the printer network interface will no longer
broadcast DHCP requests. The printer will broadcast a DHCP request each time you
turn on the printer.
3) The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a temporary lease or
temporary reservation, which expires later, or may grant a permanent or unlimited
time lease or reservation, which does not expire.
4) Devices such as the printer that are granted a temporary lease will be notified before
the lease expires and asked if they would like to extend the lease. The printer
network interface will continue extending its lease indefinitely (unless prohibited by
your DHCP server configuration), and thus maintain a consistent IP address.
5) If the printer is not turned on or is not connected to the network when the DHCP
server is sending requests to extend the lease, the lease will not be extended. The
DHCP server will cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to explicitly specify the printer lease as
permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server configuration.

WebPanel
6.3.1
Introduction
WebPanel is an intuitive browser interface that allows you to remotely manage your
network
attached printer. From WebPanel, you can do virtually everything you can do from the
printer's control panel.
In addition, WebPanel provides full access to all of the TallyCom networking features.
Before
using WebPanel, you must configure your printer with an IP address, using one of the
three
methods discussed in the Assigning the IP Address section above.
The screenshots that are used in this document to demonstrate the
functionality may vary depending on the printer model.
6.3.2
Web Browser
WebPanel is accessed from the printer through a web browser, i.e.Internet Explorer,
Firefox,
etc. The browser needs to be configured with cache and history empty, and the browser
set
up to check for new pages every time, to insure that connections to WebPanel will
produce
the latest data.
WebPanel does not work through a proxy server. Therefore, the web browser must be
setup
to NOT use the Proxy Server for local IP addresses.
Disclaimer: Dascom WebPanel runs in conjunction with third party software, notably
web
browsers, which are designed to run independently of the Dascom software. Dascom
cannot control the third party output or how it behaves from release to release. The
above browser versions have been tested with WebPanel and while there is full
functionality, there
will undoubtedly be visual differences and anomalies between products and versions
with which Dascom has no control.

Access to WebPanel & Control Tool
6.3.3.1 Access to WebPanel
Once an IP address has been set up, you can access WebPanel by typing the printer's
IP
address into your browser address box.
The current status of your printer is displayed on the right hand side of the screen. This
is
refreshed every 20 seconds, whenever you refresh the page or click Printer Status. The
left
side allows you to query the printer, configure it and access network options.
If you try to access the printer after power on the printer it may last up to one
minute until the printer is visible in the network.
