Tally Dascom DM-210/220

1.2 Placing the Printer

Place the printer on a solid, flat, stable surface; ensuring that the printer is positioned in such a way

that it cannot move, and that there is easy access to the control panel and paper input devices. Also

ensure that there is enough space for sufficient ventilation and for the printed output.

When selecting the printer location, observe the following additional instructions:

 Never place the printer near to any flammable gas or explosive substances.

 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.

length is not exceeded.

 Ensure sufficient distance between the printer and any heating devices or radiators.

 Avoid exposing the printer to extreme temperature or air humidity fluctuations. Avoid

exposure to dusty environments.

 It is recommended the printer is installed in a position which reduces noise exposure to the

work place during printing.

The position of the

carriage is wrong

Recover automatically until the

temperature drops down.

Check the stepper motor of the

carriage, transmission mechanism,

initial position sensor and drive

circuit, etc.

Load paper.

Self-test Printing and Hexadecimal Dumping

Turn off the printer after the ribbon cartridge and roller paper are installed, hold the feed key while

power on, and then the printer will print out the self-test page.

After the self-test completed, if there feed key is pressed, the printer will enter bidirectional printing

adjustment state. If receiving data without pressing feed key, the printer will enter hexadecimal

printing state.

If you do not need to implement the alignment or hexadecimal printing, please switch off the printer

and restart the printer for printer normal operation.

10

Tally Dascom DM-210/220

Bidirectional Printing Adjustment

When typefaces are blurred or vertically misaligned, it is necessary to do the bidirectional printing

quality adjustment.

After self-test completed, the alignment parameter for bidirectional printing will change circularly

along with pressing feed key and the printer will print out the reference typeface.

When the printing quality becomes best, in other words, both the upper and lower rows of “H” are

best aligned, you can turn off the power and the printer will save the parameters automatically.
