Tally 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.
Tally Dascom 2610 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).

Tally Dascom 2610 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.
Tally Dascom 2610 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.
Tally Dascom 2610 7.3.2 Ethernet I/O 10/100 Mulitprotocol The Ethernet interface enables the printer to connect to local area networks. Its attributes are: Hardware Supported operating Systems Supported Protocols Designation of IP Address Configuration Status Management Setup LAN/Ethernet: RJ45, Ethernet 100BaseTX with 100 Mbps (IEEE802.3u), 10Base-T with 10 Mbps (IEEE802.
Tally Dascom 2610 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.
Tally Dascom 2610 7.3.4 Optional Serial Interface RS232C Your printer’s 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).
Tally Dascom 2610 1) The serial cable length must not exceed 15 meters. 2) Make sure the “Interface Setup” selects serial interface and the settings are the same as PC communication port settings.
Tally Dascom 2610 Interface cable (serial interface) The cables used must be shielded. The cable shield must be connected to the connector shield on both ends.

Tally Dascom 2610 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).
Tally Dascom 2610 ◆ 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 STX (hex02): ENQ (hex05): XON/XOF: HandThr.= ON: HandThr.
