LED Function Description

Prints the printer settings and self-test pattern.
Pressing S1 can change the font.
Beeps once to indicate going into hex dump mode:

 Prints data from host in hexadecimal representation.
 Lights up L4.
 Pressing S4 suspends the printing.
 When the hex dump has finished, pressing S4 forces the

printing of the last line of data, as any line termination
control code from host has no function.

 Pressing S1 can change the font.
 Switch off the power to terminate the hex dump.
 Alternate flashing of L3 and L4 indicates printer is ready

for firmware update. L1 and L2 are ON and OFF
respectively.

 When new firmware is being received, L3 and L4 are set

to ON. L1 flashes a few times and then sets to ON. L2
flashing indicates downloading in progress.

 When downloading is completed, the carriage returns to

home position. Printer initializes normally.

6 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 to determine whether lubrication may be necessary.

Switch printer off and unplug the power cord from

the mains before doing any maintenance work.

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.

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.

6. Remove the single sheet feeder and clean the form tractors and the surrounding areas.

7. Re-install the single sheet feeder.

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 paper feed knob.

3. Repeat this procedure for each roller.

39

Tally Dascom 1125

4. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen and the rollers and manually rotate the paper feed

knob.

7 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.

Print Quality Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

• Make sure that the ribbon cartridge is properly installed and that
the ribbon feeds smoothly.

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.

• 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.

Printing is vertically misaligned
(jagged).

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.

Use the printer's vertical alignment function to check the vertical
print alignment. If necessary, adjust the print alignment.

• 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.

Paper jams while printing.

the printer is set correctly. Move the lever to the front for single
sheets or to the rear for continuous forms.

• Make sure that the paper covers the paper-out sensor.

• 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 taut.

• 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.

Paper slips off the forms tractors
or the perforated holes of the
paper tear during printing.

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.

Operating Problems and Solutions

Problem Solution

• 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.

The power does not turn on.

• Make sure that the power outlet is functional. If not so, 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.

42

Tally Dascom 1125

The printer is on but it will not
print.

Paper select lever error

Printer Failures

• 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.

• Make sure that the printer driver selected in your software is the
same as the emulation selected on the printer.

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.

A user cannot generally resolve a problem involving defective printer hardware. Power off and on again the
printer to recover any fatal error. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact your dealer or service partner.

Diagnostic Functions

The printer diagnostic functions are Self-Test page, hex-dump mode and print alignment adjustment.

 Self-Test page: Tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware

is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect
software settings, the interface, or the computer.

 HEX-DUMP MODE: Allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands

to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to
programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.

 PRINTING ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT: Allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s

vertical line print alignment in bi-directional mode.

For details on using these functions, please refer to chapters 4 and 5.

44

Tally Dascom 1125

Firmware Update

Sometimes it is necessary update the firmware to solve a problem. The latest firmware file may be obtained
from your dealer or downloaded from our website www.dascom.com. Before upgrading firmware, it is
strongly recommended to print the Main Menu page to keep a record of the old settings.

Note: Firmware update should only be performed by an authorized service person. We disclaim any
responsibility for any damage caused if it is performed by any other person.

To load new firmware, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the printer. Connect your PC to the parallel port on the printer.

2. Press and hold down all 4 keys (S1, S2, S3, S4) while powering on the printer.

3. Alternate flashing of L3 and L4 LEDs indicates printer is ready for firmware update. L1 and L2 LEDs

are ON and OFF respectively.

4. Go to the DOS prompt window. Copy the firmware file (with extension .MOT) to your printer as

follows:

COPY /B <filename>.mot PRN

5. When new firmware is being received, L3 and L4 LEDs are set to ON. L1 LED flashes a few times,

then sets to ON. L2 LED flashing indicates downloading in progress.

Note: Do not interrupt the downloading process to prevent possible flash memory corruption.

6. When downloading is completed, the carriage returns to home position. Printer initializes normally.

Alternatively, you can use the Firmware Flash Tool version 3.5 or higher which is available in the CDROM and
our website as well. Upon starting up the tool, choose the correct file and press "Update".
