Congratulations…
On your choice of a Tally Dascom label printer.
Please take a moment to read this Quick Start Guide which will familiarise yourself with the
printer and its operation. The printer is a sophisticated but easy-to-use label printer featuring
simple media loading and quick connection together with a menu conguration systems
displayed on the LCD panel.
We will guide you through unpacking the printer from its carton, connection to your
computer system and installation of the media including a quick self-test of the printer to
ensure it is working.
Safety
If you have not done so already, please carefully read the safety instructions included at the
beginning of this Quick Start Guide and in more detail on the user manual included on the
CD-ROM. Failure to observe the safety precautions could cause serious injury or damage to
both you and your property.
Unpacking Your Printer
a. Carefully unpack your new printer and ensure all the items shown on the adjacent picture
are present in your printer's carton. Remember that the printer itself can weigh up to 18 kg
(39 lbs) so ensure you lift the printer out of the box carefully with the assistance of another
person.
b. In some cases, your supplier or Tally Dascom may have added extra items required for your
particular installation such as additional CD-ROM, cable or manuals. Instructions for each
of these items will be included within the individual packages.
c. If you have any questions, or if you nd any of the items are missing, please initially refer
back to your supplier. Otherwise, contact details for Tally Dascom’s regional oces are
shown on the back page of this Quick Start Guide.
d. The printer is shipped with adhesive tape in place to hold the top cover closed. Simple
remove the tape and open the case by lifting the top cover upwards and back.
e. There is another strip of adhesive tape that must be removed which holds the mechanism
closed for shipping. Remove the tape and attached paper by carefully peeling from the
case. A further piece of packing paper is inside the mechanism. You can remove this when
the head is opened for the rst time (as shown in section 3b).
Connection to a Computer
This product has three interfaces that can be used to receive printing data: a serial port
(RS232C), parallel port (IEEE1284), and a USB port (USB1.1). An optional internal Ethernet
(LAN) or Wireless LAN port can be added by your dealer. If the optional Ethernet or wireless
LAN port is used, the standard parallel and USB ports are removed from the printer, so the
parallel interface cannot be used.
With the exception of a wireless LAN connection, an interface cable is necessary to connect
the printer to a computer. To connect the cable, proceed as follows:
a. Turn OFF the power switches of both the printer and the computer.
b. Connect one end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the back of the
printer and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.
c. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface connector on the computer
and secure it with locks or locking screws, where available.
Caution
Use an AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug.
Otherwise, static electricity may be generated and there
will be danger of electric shock.
