4 Cont rol Pane l Operati on

Gener al fun c tions f or the keys ar e c l early design at ed on the P an el label. Some ot her s p ec ial sett i ngs need pressing multiple switches simultan eously or holding some keys when powering on the printer. This Chapter will describe the functions of the keys and display on the Panel.

4.1 Operation of the LCD Panel

The Online mode is the printer’s normal operating mode. Data from your computer can be
received and printed.
In the Offline mode the link between printer and computer is interrupted, i.e. no data can
be received and printed.
In the Setup mode you can either select the printer menu or carry out the quick-switch
function. The quick-switch option wa s inc luded so that you can change the most important parameters (f or example adjustments, character density, font, paper path, adjustments directly without having to enter them via the menu. The settings for the parameters character density and font are lost when the printer is switched off. They can be selected permanently in the menu mode of the printer.
In the Menu mode further printer settings (line spacing, size of the interface buffer etc.) can
be altered and saved permanently.

4.2 The LC display

The LC display tells you all the important printer settings and informs you which functions are currently assigned to which keys.
The upper line informs you that the printer is either in online or offline mode (in the example below the printer is in the Online mode), a nd the selected paper path (below: TrFront = tractor front mode).

5 Printer Setting

(Progr amming via the c ontrol panel)
Apart fro m being able to cont ro l yo ur pr inter via the applicatio ns so ft ware you use, you can also program the printer directly . The r e a re two programming options you can us e:
Programming via t he control panel. Program m ing v ia the interface using Escape se quences or control codes.
Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings made i n menu
mode; therefore they will override th ese.
Pro gr amming via the interface gives you far greater free dom for designing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated method and r equires some ex perience with progr amming langua ges and printer control syste m s .
All pr ogramming via the interface is lost a fter you turn of f t he pr inter, whe reas t he progr am ming ca rrie d out using t he contr o l panel is save d and sto red eve n after you turn of f the printer.

5.1 S ett ing the param eters thr ough the LCD Panel

This chapter descr ibes the handling of the opera tor’s panel wit h optional display.

5.1.1 Enabling acces s to me nu m ode

The menu can be locke d by default to protect it from accidental or unaut horized acces s . Proceed as follows to release this lock temporarily.
1) Sw itch off the printer for approx . 5 seconds.
2) Sw itch the printe r on again keeping the Se tup key pressed.

5.1.2 Menu configurations

Eve r y pr inter is shipped with factory def ault settings. B asic settings s uc h as emulation, char acter size, form length etc., which many applica tions make use of , are se t. A t the end of this chapter you will f ind a menu printout which shows yo u the printer’s default settings.
Your pr inter allows you to set a nd us e fiv e independent menu configurations. If one of your applications, for example, requir es an IBM printe r while anothe r program works be tter w ith a n EPSON pr inter, you can set an IBM emulation c onfigurat ion with the desired settings, and set the se c ond configuration as an EPSO N em ulation.
The a c tive menu is alwa y s the one y ou used last. When you switch on t he pr inter for the very first time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no.1 only r emains active until you load a nother menu. The la s t ac tive menu is sto re d ev en aft er the printer is sw itched off and is re loaded aut omatically when the printer is switc hed o n again.
For example, to change from menu no. 1 to menu no. 3:
Press Setup key.
Press Menu (1) key.
Press Menu (3) key.
Now t he following me s sa ge appears in the LC display: Now pre s s the < ( 2) or > (3) k ey repeatedly unt il Load Menu=3
appears. Then select menu no. 3 a s the c ur r ent setting using the Set key (1). The currently active setting is ma rked with an asterisk (*).
If changing menus it is possible that t he pr in t e r initializes due to different
emulation settings.

5.1.3 Menu handling

You c an na v igate in the current menu using the four function a nd se lection keys arr anged below the LC display field. Each function and parameter displayed in the LCD is exe c uted or selected by the cor r esponding key below, respectively. Usually two parameter gr oups are com bined at o ne leve l. In the fo llowing ex am ple, the se are the LPI a nd Skip par ame ter gro ups.
If yo u do no t wis h to change one of the tw o parameters you can either press the Next key (to acc ess the two follo wing parameter gr oups in the menu) , o r yo u ca n pr ess the Back key (to acc ess the two previous paramete r groups in the menu).
If yo u want to change a setting, (e.g. t he line density) , t hen press the LPI ke y (LPI = lines per inch) to access the actual parameter level.
The currently valid setti ng is m ar k ed by an as t er i s k (in t h e exam p le bel ow the cur r en t setting is 6 lpi). With the < and > keys you can view the other parameters available for this setting.
Example:
Save settings
Once the desired para me ter is displayed on the LC display, you can save it by pres s ing the Set ke y. The paramet er is t hen set a nd the printe r aut oma tically displa ys t he para mete r groups again. With the Exit key you can leave the s ublevel without sa v ing y our changes.

6.1 Summary

6.1.1 Introduction It is a s s um ed you have the following:

A working kno wledge of your network system and re lated utilities. Access to the su pervis or or administrator accou nt as a network ad min istrator.

6.1.2 Suppor ted Environm ents The built-in networ k interface suppor ts the following platfor m s a nd pr otocols:

Microso ft ® Windows® NT 4.0, 2000, XP,7,8.1/10, Serve r 2003/2008/2012/2016 Linux – Red Hat®, SuSE® Unix® – Sun Solaris®, HP-UX®, IBM AIX® TCP/IP, HTTP, LPR/LPD

6.1.3 Network Interface and Cabling The print er requires:

Ethernet 10Ba se-TX or 100Base-TX interface. Category 5e or 6 Ethernet ca ble with RJ-45 socket connectors.

6.1.4 Connecting the Pr inter Connect the Ethernet cable to the network interface port RJ-45 connector on the rear center of

the pr inter.

6.1.5 Network Interface Status There are two status lights (LEDs) next to the RJ-45 connector on the rea r panel.

Right green light (Link Status) is solid: This s hows the printer is conne cted to the networ k. Right green light is blinking: Shows network activity. Left yellow light (Duplex Status) is so lid: 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.

Tally Dascom 2600+/2610+

6.1.6 IPv6 Functionality The print er is now supporting IPv6 as a supplement for the still existing IPv4 funct ionality. The

IPv6 address settings are execute d fully automatic. There is no need and no option for configuring the se ttings. The IPv6 addresses will be shown on t he s tatus page a nd print server status frame.

6.2 IP Configuration

6.2.1 Net work IP Configuration The ne twork interface of the printer requires an IP a ddr ess. There are several ways to assign an IP address to the printer:

DHCP (A Dyna m ic Host Configuration Proto co l se r v er assigned I P address.) Static (An IP addr ess obtained fro m yo ur network administ r ator added to t he printer
manually.)
BOOTP (Boo t st rap Protocol server assigned IP address. )

6.2.2 Assigning the IP Address If t he pr inter menu is loc ked, please see t he 4.2.5.

1. Automatic DHCP IP address assignment:
Press <Set up>, then <Menu>. Press <Next> until the I/ O selection appears. Select <I/ O>. Press <Next> until the E TH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>. Press <Next> until the IP Get M se lection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <DHCP>. Verify tha t 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 networ k interface broa dc asts a DHCP request for an IP address. If a DHCP server is prese nt, the request will be pro ce s se d, and a n IP address will be returne d to t he pr inter networ k interf ac e. Upon re ce ipt of the I P address, the pr inter accepts and uses this new IP address (and subnet ma s k, and default gateway, if any).
2) Once a n IP addre s s has been assigned, the printer network inte rface will no lo nger broadcast DHCP re que s ts. The printer w ill bro adcast a DHCP request each time you t ur n on the print er .
3) The DHC P se r v e r may gr ant a t em porar y IP address, cal led a temporary lease or temporary reserv ation, which expires l ater, or may grant a permanent or unlimited time lease or re se r vation, whic h does not expire.
4) Devices s uc h as the pr inter tha t are gra nted a temporary lease will be notified be fore the lease expires and as ke d if t hey would lik e to extend the lease . The pr inter ne twork inte r face w ill co ntinue extending its lease indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP ser ve r configuration), and thus mainta in a consistent IP address.
39
Tally Dascom 2600+/2610+
5)
If the printer is not turned o n or is not connecte d to t he network when the DHCP server is sending r eque s ts to extend the lea se , t he lease will not be exte nded. The DHCP server will canc el the leas e and ma y as s ign the I P address to another de v ice. Therefore, it is highly re c om m ende d to explic itly specify the printer lea se as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP se r ve r conf igur ation.
2. Static assignment using the oper ator panel:
Press < Setup >, then < Menu >. Press < Next > until the I /O selectio n appears. Sele ct < I/O >. Press < Next > until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select < ETH-INT >, then< IP Addr > Enter the v alue for Octe t 1by pr essing < OCTET 1 >. Use the for ward and backward arrows
to inc r ement/decre me nt the number. When finishe d with ea c h entry press< Set > w hic h will set t he currently displayed value . To exit out wit hout changing the va lue 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 sele c t <O CTET 3> and < OCTE T 4 >.
Enter the default Gateway and Subnet mask in the same way. < Gateway > is availa ble
from the screen you are returned to. Press < Next > to select < Subnet >.
Enter the IP address get method under the selection <IP Get M>. Se lect <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 E TH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>. Press <Next> until the IP Get M se lection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <BOOTP> Obtain the E thernet MAC a ddr ess by printing the “ Cur r ent Settings ” c onfigurat ion page,
Turn of f printer.
Configure y our BOOTP ser ve r with desired IP addr ess and MAC addr ess. Turn on printer. Verify t hat the printer network interface received an I P a ddr ess by printing the “ Current

The screen shots that are u sed in thi s do cument to demon st rat e t he functionality
may va r y depe nding on the printer mode l .

6.3.2 Web Browser

WebPanel is acce s se d fro m the pr inter through a web browser, i.e. Int ernet Explorer, Firefox, etc. The brow se r needs to be co nfigure d wit h cache and histo ry e mpty , and the brow ser set up to c hec k for ne w pages e v ery time, to insur e that connections to WebPane l will pr oduce the lat est data.
WebPanel does not work thro ugh a prox y ser ver. The refo re, t he web brow ser must be setup to NOT use the Proxy Server for local IP addresses.
Disclaimer: Dasc om WebPanel runs in conjunction with third part y so ft ware, 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 ver s ions have bee n tested with WebPanel a nd while there is full functionality, there will undoubt edly be visual differences and anomalies between products and ve r sio ns with which Dascom has no control.

6.3.28 Virtual Co ntrol Pa nel

The Virtual Control Panel link is in the Printer Stat us area of the web page. This co ntrol panel is a v is ual representat ion o f t he actual control panel on the printer. It allows the user to remotely rea d and set panel info r m ation as if they wer e s tanding at the control panel. The functionality of the v ir tual panel is identica l to the physical LCD panel.
Before using the virtual panel, it is im portant to configure the br owser to allow po pup windows from the printer, ot herwise the pane l will not display. Once the br owser is configured, the page will look similar to t his :
The Virtual Control Panel will be the ac tive window. This windo w will show the c ur r ent error state a nd displa y the co ntent s of the printe r’s LCD displa y. Se lec ting t he buttons o n the displa y will behave the sa me a s if se lecting the butt ons on the printer itself. The LCD informatio n o n the v ir tual panel ref re s hes eve r y 15 seconds. The phy s ic al panel, virtua l pane l and Online Status in the Printer Status are all a c tive, so there may be s ome synchro niz ation dela y issues if a us er presses a button on the phy s ic al printer or the Online S tatus in the Printer St atus area. The Panel Lock feature affects the virtual panel in the same way as the phys ic al panel. The only functional difference between the phy s ic al and virtual pa nel is that in the v ir tual pane l, the LF/F F o ption will alwa y s do a FF .
To close the virtua l panel, click on the X in the upper right of the window.
This fe ature needs t he br owser to allow po p ups .

7.2.8 LC printi ng 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 sequenc es (LCP *) .
The He ader seque nce defines the parameters (e.g. height ) once. This definition rema ins until the pr inter is switched off. The printa ble LCP* inform ation is transm itted in an LCP “bracket” (SI).
The following character sets (with national characters) are available .
US ASCII 01 GERMAN 02
The characte r sets are sele cte d via the follo w ing LCP se que nce ESC ”P“ ”L“ ”S“ n ESC ”\“. The value o f n ma y ra nge 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:

The p rintout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emulations.
Prerequisite: Prin t er must be in Barco de mode. Note that this printer also sup po rt s some scalabl e f onts in the LQ-2170 emulation if a compatible driver is used.

7.3 Interfaces Specifications

Your m atrix printer offers connectiv ity via a parallel interfac e, USB and Ethernet interface. Serial I/O RS 232C interface is an o ption. This appe ndix inform s yo u about the paralle l Interface, USB, Ethernet interface and optional serial interface RS232C, and describes the com m unic ation between your computer and the printe r.
These interfac es are link ed to for m a c alled share d interface. Your printer can be configured to use only one interface or three alternately . When o nly one inte rfac e is us ed, it is monito r ed by the pr inter. If the printer is configured to use three interfaces simultaneously it monitors all inte r faces for inco m ing data. As soon as the pr inter recognizes a signal, it switc hes to the res pective interface and sends the B USY signal to the othe r interface. After f inishi ng the data transmission, the pr inter remains switched to the interface fo r a certain period of time (30 sec onds). When this tim e has e lapsed, the controller again enables all int erfaces and the sequence described restarts. If incoming data is on the other interface and t he c ur r ent print position is not “To p of Form”, a form feed is ca r r ied o ut.
