Select an environment with sufficient ventilation, easy access to the control panel and paper input areas as well as the printed output. When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional requirements:
1) Never place the printer near to any flammable gas or explosive substances. 2) Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. If you cannot avoid placing the printer near a window, protect it from the sunlight with a curtain. 3) When connecting a computer to the printer, make sure the maximum recommended cable length is not exceeded. When used with fire safety systems, the printer should be placed in the same room as the control system. 4) Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices/radiators. 5) Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Above all, avoid dusty environments. 2.2 Connecting the printer This printer is configured with a Parallel, USB, RS232 and Ethernet interface as standard. 5 Tally Dascom PRN-7 2.2.1 Parallel interface (IEEE 1284) Make sure that the printer and the computer are switched off and connect the parallel cable between the printer and the computer. Lock the connector with the 2 clips on the printer interface connector; tighten up the 2 screws on the other end connecting to the computer. 2.2.2 USB 2.0 (Full Speed) Plug in the USB cable to the printer and the computer. 2.2.3 Ethernet 6 Tally Dascom PRN-7 2.2.4 Serial Interface (RS-232C) 2.2.5 Connecting the power Plug in the power cord to the printer power socket as shown in the diagram. Connect the printer to the correct voltage power source. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. 2.2.6 Switch on the printer Switch on the printer as shown in the diagram. 7 Tally Dascom PRN-7 2.3 Installing the ribbon cartridge 1) Switch off the power. 2) Unfold the top cover and follow the steps 1.2.3.4 in the below picture. 3) Flip the upper friction assembly 8 Tally Dascom PRN-7 4) Insert the ribbon cartridge till it is tightly locked in position. 5) Insert/remove the ribbon fabric in-between the print head and ribbon mask by squeezing the outside wings of the Ribbon Guide, as shown, to position and secure the ribbon onto the print head. 6) Turn the knob on the left hand side several times in order to tighten the fabric, and the fabric will slide downwards into the correct position between print head and ribbon mask after the moving. 7) Restore the upper friction assembly to its original position. Printhead may be hot, please move the printhead by moving the carriage. 9 Tally Dascom PRN-7 3 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 1 2 3 4 5 6 The position Ribbon 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. 10 Tally Dascom PRN-7 3.2 Paper path introduction 3.2.1 Cut sheet paper handling (front friction only) 1) Place the paper path lever to the cut sheet position. 2) Unlock the front cover with the latch to unfold the cut sheet support. 3) Adjust the gap lever if necessary; see 3.1. 4) It is recommended to align the left paper guide exactly to the mark > I <. This marks the left edge of the stationery. Slide the right guide to the position of the right edge of the stationery. 5) Insert the stationery straightly all the way into the guided slot until it stops. 6) Press the load key to feed the paper to the correct print position, automatically. The printer clears the Paper End condition and goes into the ready or online state. 11 Tally Dascom PRN-7 3.2.2 Fanfold paper handling 3.2.2.1 Front push tractors for fanfold 1) Close the front cover if previously opened. Switch the paper path lever to one of the desired tractor positions. 2) Move the paper path lever to the desired position. 3) Adjust the head gap lever if necessary. 4) Open the front cover by tilting the cover from bottom to the top, and make sure its locked in place (see below pictures). Lock the front cover in the way that is shown in the pictures. Make sure the front cover is locked. 5) If you do not need to adjust the left margin go to the next step. Open the right and left 12 Tally Dascom PRN-7 tractor flaps, insert fanfold paper into the left-hand tractor, and make sure that at least three paper transport holes are positioned on the tractor pins, close the tractor flap, open the latch lever and align the tractor so that the first printing position on the paper matches the IIIIXIIII mark on the printer housing, then lock the lever again. 6) Align the right-hand tractor to the width of the paper and insert the paper (Make sure that it is inserted by the same length as on the left-hand tractor in order to avoid any paper jam). Then close the tractor flap and slide the tractor to the right until the paper is slightly tensioned, then lock the tractor. 7) Lower the front cover, switch the printer on.

Setup key: Sets the printer to setup mode, in which the following settings can be selected. Menu key (1): Other menu settings. Access may be disabled by menu settings (see note below). Adjust key (2): Sets the Tear position and first printing line (TOF). If you have the PullTr (Pull - Tractor) selected Adjust is not available. Char key (4): Sets the font and the number of characters per inch temporarily. Access to the other menu settings (Menu) may be disabled by the manufacturer. Proceed as follows to release this lock temporarily. 1) Switch off the printer for approx. 5 seconds. 2) Switch the printer on again keeping the Setup key pressed. 4.1.5 Power on functions If you keep one of the following keys pressed during power-on until the printer has completed initialization, the corresponding function is activated:
If you keep the Online key depressed while turning on the printer, you enter the printers advanced menu mode. The advanced menu mode is described in the section 5.4.2 of this manual. If you keep the Setup key depressed while turning on the printer, you regain access to the printer menu if you had locked it before with the help of the Menu Lock function. If all four function keys (keys 1 to 4) are depressed simultaneously while turning on the power, all printer settings are reset to the default values, except the Forml (Form length) setting in advanced menu mode. Holding Function key 4 while turning on the printer prints out the parameter settings. 19 Tally Dascom PRN-7 5 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:
Programming via the control panel. Programming 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. 5.1 Setting the parameters through the LCD Panel This chapter describes the handling of the operators panel with optional display. 5.1.1 Enabling access to menu mode The menu can be locked by default to protect it from accidental or unauthorized access. Proceed as follows to release this lock temporarily. 1) Switch off the printer for approx. 5 seconds. 2) Switch the printer on again keeping the Setup key pressed. Calling up the menu You can access the menu in the following way:
Press the Setup key. The printer switches to Setup mode. (The Setup mode can be selected both in the Online and Offline mode) To access the printer menu, press the key directly underneath the word Menu (1). 20 Tally Dascom PRN-7 5.1.2 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 printers 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. Menu=3 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. 21 Tally Dascom PRN-7 Menu Printout 22 Tally Dascom PRN-7 5.1.3 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. 23 Tally Dascom PRN-7 5.1.4 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 appropriatesetting 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
(< indicates descending and > 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:
24 Tally Dascom 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. 25 Tally Dascom PRN-7 5.3 Menu structure The menu structure of your printer may be slightly different from the example shown here, depending on the printer software.

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. Permanent (physical) setting of the left margin. This parameter cannot be changed by emulation dependent margin settings. Margin setting values entered by ESC sequences are added to the Physlm. If PLM is on, flatten the paper edges by carriage movement before printing starts. It is used for setting the distance of carriage movement in Paper Jam Prevention mode. When Widthcon is on, the parameters set by Pagewid are valid; When Widthcon is off, the distance of carriage movement in Paper Jam Prevention mode is 136/10. CX-bid=ON sets the parallel interface of the printer to bidirectional mode (IEEE 1284, Nibble mode), e.g. for Windows Plug & Play.

A working knowledge of your network system and related utilities. Access to the supervisor or administrator account as a network administrator. 6.1.2 Supported Environments The built-in network interface supports the following platforms and protocols:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP,7,8, Server 2003/2008/2012 Linux Red Hat, SuSE Unix Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX TCP/IP, HTTP, LPR/LPD 6.1.3 Network Interface and Cabling The printer requires:
Ethernet 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX interface. Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 socket connectors. 6.1.4 Connecting the Printer Connect the Ethernet cable to the network interface port RJ-45 connector on the rear center of the printer. 6.1.5 Network Interface Status There are two status lights (LEDs) next to the RJ-45 connector on the rear panel. Right green light (Link Status) is solid: This shows the printer is connected to the network. Right green light is blinking: Shows network activity. Left yellow light (Duplex Status) is solid: Shows network interface is in full duplex mode. Unless the link status light is green, the printer will not be able to connect to the Network. 39 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.2 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:
DHCP (A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server assigned IP address.) Static (An IP address obtained from your network administrator added to the printer manually.) 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:
Press <Setup>, then <Menu>. Press <Next> until the I/O selection appears. Select <I/O>. Press <Next> until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>. Press <Next> until the IP Get M selection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <DHCP>. Verify that your printer was assigned an IP address by printing the Current Settings 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. 40 Tally Dascom PRN-7 2. Static assignment using the operator panel:
Press < Setup >, then < Menu >. Press < Next > until the I/O selection appears. Select < I/O >. Press < Next > until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select < ETH-INT >, then< IP Addr >
Enter the value for Octet 1by pressing < OCTET 1 >. Use the forward and backward arrows to increment/decrement the number. When finished with each entry press
< Set > which will set the currently displayed value. To exit out without changing the value press < Exit >. Enter the Octet 2 value in the same way, pressing < OCTET 2 >. To get to Octet 3 and Octet 4, select < Next > and then select <OCTET 3> and < OCTET 4 >. Enter the default Gateway and Subnet mask in the same way. < Gateway > is available from the screen you are returned to. Press < Next > to select < Subnet >. Enter the IP address get method under the selection <IP Get M>. Select <Static>. 3. BOOTP IP address assignment:
Press <Setup>, then <Menu>. Press <Next> until the I/O selection appears. Select <I/O>. Press <Next> until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>. Press <Next> until the IP Get M selection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <BOOTP>
Obtain the Ethernet MAC address by printing the Current Settings configuration page, Turn off printer. Configure your BOOTP server with desired IP address and MAC address. Turn on printer. Verify that the printer network interface received an IP address by printing the Current Settings configuration page or in the operator panel menu. 41 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3 WebPanel 6.3.1 Introduction WebPanel is an intuitive browser interface that allows you to remotely manage your networkattached 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. 42 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.3 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.

49 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.10 Send Configuration to Printer Selecting this option will upload a Configuration File of another printer (see Retrieve Configuration From Printer). The complete configuration of this source printer will be transferred to your printer. To upload the configuration file, first click Send Configuration To Printer. The following page will be displayed:
50 Tally Dascom PRN-7 Use the Browse button to find the file to upload. Once the file is selected, click on the Send button. It is important to note the warning on this page. There is some delay while the file is transmitted so it is important not to resend or click on the Send button until the process is complete. If the process is successful, the printer will reboot and the following page will be displayed:
Since the printer will reboot with successful completion of this action, the user will have to reconnect to the printer through the browser. 51 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.11 Report Selecting the report link will open up a separate browser window and a report of the printer settings will appear. This functionality is the same as pressing the Print option on the control panel of the printer. 6.3.12 Reset Printer This link does a hard reset of the printer, similar to cycling power. There is no user feedback as to success since the printer is rebooting. Since the printer will reboot with successful completion of this action, the user will have to reconnect to the printer through the browser. 6.3.13 Panel Lock On/Off This link toggles the panel lock feature of the printer. This option affects the physical control panel on the printer as well as the virtual panel in WebPanel. The state of the option is displayed in the printer status page on the right of the display. 6.3.14 Download Firmware Through this link it is possible to download firmware updates to the printer. When this link is selected, the follow page will appear:
52 Tally Dascom PRN-7 After following the directions on this page, select the Continue link and the following pageis displayed:
Using the Browse button, find the firmware file to download. Once the file is selected, clickon the Send button. It is important to note the warning on this page.

Since the printer will reboot with successful completion of this action, the user will have to reconnect to the printer through the browser. 54 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.15 TallyCom Status Selecting this link will replace the information in the Printer Status area with networking information on the printer. The Name, Contact and Location information is set up from the General link within the Advanced Configuration page. 55 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.16 Advanced Configuration The Advanced Configuration page allows the user to set up and modify network connectivity information as well as setting up the password, email notification and logical printers. From this page it is also possible to Logout of TallyCom and restart TallyCom. The Administration page looks like this:
56 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.17 General The General page sets up the timers and the labels for name, contact and location of the printer. The Print Server Name is by default and can be changed accordingly. This name used for entering into Name Server (DNS/DHCP). 57 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.18 TCP/IP The TCP/IP Page allows the user to modify the existing TCP/IP information for the printer. After changing the particular parameters, it is necessary to restart TallyCom from the Advanced Configuration page. If the IP Address is changed and the Send button selected you will disconnect from the current session and will need to reconnect at the new IP Address. 58 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.19 SNMP The SNMP page allows the user to set the Community Name and the Access. The page looks like this:
59 Tally Dascom 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 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. 60 Tally Dascom 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 1 and is activated by checking the box and clicking on the Save button. 61 Tally Dascom 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. 62 Tally Dascom 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:
63 Tally Dascom 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 jobfollowed 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 ;. 64 Tally Dascom 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 isused 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. 65 Tally Dascom PRN-7 6.3.27 Virtual Control Panel The Virtual Control Panel link is in the Printer Status area of the web page. This controlpanel 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 printers 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. 66 Tally Dascom PRN-7 7 Addendum 7.1 Character Set standard character set 1 standard character set 2 67 Tally Dascom PRN-7 IBM character set 1 IBM character set 2 68 Tally Dascom PRN-7 OCR-A character set 1 OCR-A character set 2 69 Tally Dascom PRN-7 OCR-B character set 1 OCR-B character set 2 70 Tally Dascom PRN-7 International Character Set Commands Country USA FRANCE GERMANY UK DENMARK 1 SWEDEN ITALY SPAIN 1 JAPAN NORWAY DENMARK 2 SPAIN 2 LATINAMERICA DENMARK/NORWAY CHINA Basic Command ESCRCHR0 ESCRCHR1 ESCRCHR2 ESCRCHR3 ESCRCHR4 ESCRCHR5 ESCRCHR6 ESCRCHR7 ESCRCHR8 ESCRCHR9 ESCRCHR10 ESCRCHR11 ESCRCHR12 ESCRCHR13 ESCRCHR16 International character sets 71 Tally Dascom PRN-7 7.2 Control Codes Summary The following table shows sequences marked by a if they are available in the various emulations.

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 Programmers 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:

84 Tally Dascom PRN-7 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 01 US ASCII GERMAN 02 23 24 40 5B 5C 5D 5E 60 7B 7C 7D 7E
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:
ASCII ESC HEX 1B DEC 27 P 50 80 L 4C 76 S 53 83 0 30 48 1 31 49*
ESC 1B 27
5C 92 The printout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emulations. Prerequisite: Printer must be in Barcode mode. Note that this printer supports some scalable fonts in the LQ-2170 emulation if a compatible driver is used. 85 Tally Dascom PRN-7 7.2.9 List of additional control Codes You can use both the ESC sequences and the control codes Sequences

This appendix informs you about the parallel Interface, USB, Ethernet interface and serial interface RS232C (standard on the PRN-7), and describes the communication between your computer and the printer. The parallel and USB interfaces are intended to be used in the same room as the host. 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. 87 Tally Dascom 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. Connector assignment Connector no.

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. 89 Tally Dascom PRN-7 Example of a Printer connected to a computer in an Network The assumed address space corresponds to the TCP/IP address, class C, 192.168.1.xxx. The subnet mask to be used is 255.255.255.0. The address of the router, or gateway, is 0.0.0.0, if not available. Example of several devices in an Ethernet 7.3.3 USB 2.0 I/O Full Speed The USB interface conforms to the Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Specifications. It supports the Full Speed mode at 12 Mbps. It uses the B type USB connector. 90 Tally Dascom PRN-7 7.3.4 Serial Interface RS232C (standard on PRN-7) Your printers serial interface supports the RS232C specification. The signals are received and transmitted by a 9 pin connector. Basically 3 lines are enough for exchanging information between computer and printer
(one receive line, one send line, one line for common grounding). Type Synchronization Transmission rate Signal status RS232C interface Asynchronous 600 Baud to 19200 Baud OFF (log.1) -3 V to -15 V ON (log. 0) +3 V to +15 V up to 15 m length ITT Cannon connector, series DB-9 S Connection cable Interface connections Transmission protocol XON/XOFF, ENQ/STX, READY/ BUSY, Robust XON/XOFF, ETX/ ACK, ACK/NAK Capacity of data buffer 512Byte min. 256KByte max Connector assignment Connector no.

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. Extended menu functions with the ENQ/STX and ETX/ACK protocols selected protocol 94 Tally Dascom PRN-7 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). Status byte Bit 0-1 Bit 1-1 Bit 2-0 Bit 3-1 Bit 4-1 Bit 5-1 Bit 6-1 Bit 7-0 BUSY Off Line Paper end Always 1 Cover open Buffer overflow Parity or frame error Always 0 STX (hex02):

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):

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. 95 Tally Dascom PRN-7 96 Tally Dascom PRN-7 8 Options and accessories The following options can be ordered for your printer. 8.1 Options Tractor Unit PRN-7 Name Part no.

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. 108 Tally Dascom PRN-7 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. Smears and stains appear on the page. Printing is erratic or the wrong characters are printed. Many ? or unexpected characters are printed. The page is blank. The top margin is wrong. Lines are double spaced instead of single spaced. The printer overprints on the same line. The next print line starts where the previous line ended instead of at the left margin. 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. 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. 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. Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed. Make sure the gap lever is set correctly. Check the application top margin setting. Adjust the Top Margin setting in Page Setup menu if necessary. Change the Auto LF setting in the System Setup menu to No. Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to No. Change the Auto CR setting in the System Setup menu to Yes. 109 Tally Dascom PRN-7 10.2.2 Paper Handling Problems and Solutions Problem Paper cannot be loaded or fed. Paper jams while loading. Paper jams while printing. Paper slips off the forms tractors or the perforated holes of the paper tear during printing. Solution Make sure that the paper select lever located on the top right of the printer is set correctly. 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. 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. 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. The printer is on but it will not print. 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. 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. 110 Tally Dascom PRN-7 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.
