2 Installation
2.1 Placing the printer
Place the printer on a solid, flat, stable surface such that the printer sits firmly and cannot
move. 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.
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 and Ethernet interface as standard. An optional
Serial interface can be installed additionally.
5

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:
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.

Tally Dascom 2610
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 2610
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 it’s 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.
