5.6 Black Mark Parameters

This printer uses tractors to load fanfold forms with pre-printed black marks. The printer requires 3 parameters to print on paper with black marks:

1. Horizontal offset of black mark from the edge of page (called Black Mark Physical Horizontal Position); later on, this value facilitates the printer to locate its scanner preparing for identifying the black marks.

2. Vertical offset of the first print line from the black mark (called Distance Offset From Black Mark To Print Position); later on, the print makes use of this value to print the first line relative to the black mark.

3. Vertical offset of the tear-off edge from the black mark (called Distance Offset From Black Mark To Tear Position); this value informs the printer the tear-off position of the page.

Not to skip or change the order of setting the above 3 parameters.

The procedures to set the parameters:

1. Hold down the Tear key while powering on the printer and then release the key when the print head starts to move. After loading paper, the printer prompts the Printer Settings

Printer Settings

[TEAR]=Back, [LF]=Next, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Exit, [ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]=Save and restart the printer.

System Setup

2. Press the Next or Back keys to scroll forward or backward the sub-menus till the printer shows:

BlackMark Mode

3. Press OK to go into the BlackMark menu. The printer prompts:

[Black Mark Adjustment Mode] [TEAR]= Back, [LF]= Next, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Exit, [ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]= Save and restart the printer.

Black Mark Physical Horizontal Position Press any key to eject the paper, and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold Path.

4. The last prompt above advises you to press any key to unload the dialog form. Then load a fanfold form with black mark.

Tally Dascom 1140

5. Ensure to place the lever at position. Then press the Load/Eject key to load the black marked form. The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or Back until you see the black mark marginally exposed out of the tear-off blade. Then press OK to allow the printer to scan the horizontal offset of the black mark relative to the left edge of the page. (Meanwhile, the vertical position of the black mark is measured and recorded.)

When the printer fails to scan the horizontal offset, it prompts you to repeat the above procedures. If scanning is successful, it prompts:

Successfully setup black mark parameters.

Distance Offset From Black Mark To Print Position

6. The last prompt above invites you to set the next parameter --- vertical offset of the first print line from the black mark. Like other setting dialogs, you have options:

1) to bypass this setting (by pressing Next or Back), (WARNING: Not to skip or change the order in Black Mark Setting.)

2) to accept the invitation (by pressing OK),

3) to leave the subsequent settings (by press Exit), or

4) to terminate the session and save modified parameter(s) (by pressing Save and Restart).

7. When you respond with “OK” to set the vertical offset, the printer prompts you to reload a black marked fanfold form:

Press any key to eject the paper, and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold Path.

The top edge of the form will then align with the printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the desired first print line position is reached. (With the above measured vertical position, the printer will convert the net paper feeding to the TOF relative to the black mark.) Press OK to confirm the vertical offset. Then the print prompts the invitation for setting the tear-off position relative to the black mark:

Successfully setup black mark parameters.

Distance Offset From Black Mark To Tear Position

8. When you respond with OK to set the tear-off position, the printer prompts you to reload a black marked fanfold form:

Press any key to eject the paper,and load paper with black mark in the Fanfold Path.

The printer reloads the form. By default the form stops 5.5 inches away from the printer’s tear-off blade. Press Next or Back to feed or reverse-feed the paper till the desired tear-off position is reached. (With the above measured vertical position, the printer will convert the net paper feeding to the tear-off position relative to the black mark.) Press OK to confirm the tear-off offset relative to the black mark. Finally, press Save and Restart to save new settings and terminate the session.

5.7 Bidirectional Alignment

When wiggling vertical grids appears in tabular reports, you should adjust the Bidirectional Alignment. The procedures to adjust bi-directional alignment across adjacent line grids:

1. Hold down the Tear key while powering on the printer and then release the key when the print head starts to move. After loading paper, the printer prompts the Printer Settings.

Printer Settings

[TEAR]=Back, [LF]=Next, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Exit, [ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]=Save and restart the printer.

System Setup

2. Press the Next or Back keys to scroll forward or backward the sub-menus till the printer shows:

Bi-directional Alignment

3. Press OK to go into the Bi-directional Test menu. The printer prompts:

[Bi-direction Alignment] [TEAR]=-1, [LF]=+1, [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE]=Back, [ONLINE]+[LOAD/EJECT]=Save and restart the printer

4. Every press on “+1” or “-1” shifts the second line to the right or left, respectively, relative to the top line by 1 fine step. After pressing “+1” twice and then “OK”, the printer prompts:

5. Repeat the adjustment till two grid lines align satisfactory as “|”. Press “OK” again. The printer asks if you want to save the correction:

Save the parameter settings ([LOAD/EJECT] or [ONLINE] = OK, [LF] = Next)?

Yes

At this stage, you have the options to save or give up the correction by pressing OK or Next, respectively. If you respond with OK, an asterisk “*” appends to “Yes” to confirm saving change.If you intend to give up the correction by pressing Next, the printer prompts a “No” Then a confirmative response of OK appends an asterisk “*” to the “No” prompt. The printer then exits the Bi-directional Test and proceeds with the next setup menu.

6 Customized Form

This printer allows the customization on the form length, Load/Eject, bottom margin and left margin for single sheets and fanfold. Restore Factory Defaults can recover these default values.

Selecting the Define value(s) in section 5.2 (Paper Setup menu) allows the printer to take up the customized page formatting value(s).

The parameter setting procedures involve:

1. The printer prompts the dialogs and you follow the prompts.

2. Before every measurement or change, the print instructs you to unload the conversation form from the printer.

3. With the exception of measuring the form length for cut sheets, always set the lever to the tractors position .

4. For form length measurement, insert the customized form from the proper paper path.

The other six settings are actually done on general fanfold forms --- not the actual customized form. Fanfold paper gives direct visual results on the TOF, bottom and left margins even though cut sheets will be used in actual applicati

6.1 Customize Cut Sheet Form Length

1. Hold down both the Online and TOF keys while powering on the printer and then

The measured form length is: 11.0Inch, approximately equal to 279mm, accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 inches. The measured value has been saved. Remeasure ( [LOAD/EJECT]=OK, [ONLINE] =Exit)?

Yes

Tally Dascom 1140

5. At this stage:

If Load/Eject is pressed, an asterisk “*” is appended to “Yes” and you should repeat the procedures for form length measurement as mentioned. Or, If you input “Exit”, the printer saves the measurement value and proceeds with the next customized setting.

6.2 Customize Cut Sheet TOF

1. After you follow through all the steps in 6.1 or you input “Next” in step 3 in 6.1, the printer prompts:

Top Margin

2. You may skip to other customized settings by pressing “Next” or “Back”. Once you press “OK” to continue with customization of cut sheet TOF, the printer prompts:

Press any key to eject current page, load paper in the Fanfold paper path, and then proceed as follows: [TEAR] = -(1/72) inch, [LF] = +(1/72) inch, [LOAD/EJECT] = OK, [ONLINE] = Exit,

[ONLINE] + [LOAD/EJECT] = Save and restart the printer.

3. Follow the given prompt to unload the conversation form. Ensure the lever is at position. Then press the Load/Eject key to load fanfold paper from tractors. The top edge of the form initially aligns with the printer’s tear-off blade. You may input +/- 1/72” to adjust the TOF position. When you get the desirable TOF, press OK or Exit. The printer prompts the customized TOF value:

The defined position is: 4.2 mm. Save the parameter settings ([LOAD/EJECT] or [ONLINE]=OK, [LF]=Next)?

Yes

4. At this stage: If Load/Eject is pressed, an asterisk “*” is appended to “Yes” and you should repeat the procedures for form length measurement as mentioned. Or, If you input “Exit”, the printer saves the measurement value and proceeds with the next customized setting.

6.3 Customize Cut Sheet Bottom Margin

1. After you follow through all the steps in 6.2 or you input “Next” twice in step 3 in 6.1, the printer prompts:

Bottom Margin

2. The remaining operations are nearly the same as described in section 6.2. The only difference is to input +/- 1/72” till you get the desirable bottom margin.

Tally Dascom 1140

6.4 Customize Cut Sheet Left Margin

1. After you follow through all the steps in 6.3 or you input “Next” three times in step 3 in

7 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 main before doing any maintenance work.

7.1 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.

7.2 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.

Tally Dascom 1140

7.3 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.

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

8.6 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.
