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:

Paper type Lever position

1-part 1 Original + 1 copy 2 Original + 2 copies 3 Original + 3 copies 4 Original + 4 copies 5 Original + 5 copies 6

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.

Clear Buffer and Reset

The printer has high capacity storage (buffer) to store the data from the host computer. Sometimes it is required to halt the printing to clear a fault. Resuming the printing at this point may cause erratic printouts because some of the un-processed data in the buffer may be truncated. Therefore, it is recommended clearing the buffer after the recovery with following procedures: (Turning off the printer is an alternative)

1) Terminate the print job in the host.

2) Press the

OnlineɌkey to bring the printer off-line. The printing will stop, but un-processed data

still resides in the buffer.

3) Hold

OnlineɌandɋLoad/EjectɌkeys simultaneously. The buffer will be cleared and the printer

will automatically warm boot.

4) Probably you need to repeat step 2-3 times as the print job in the host spooler may be very large.

5 Setting parameters for the printer

(Programming via the control panel)

Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications software you use, you can also program the printer directly. There are two programming options you can use:

ƹProgramming via the control panel. ƹProgramming via the interface using Escape sequences or control codes.

Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings made in menu

mode; therefore they will override these.

Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for designing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated method and requires some experience with programming languages and printer control systems. All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer, whereas the programming carried out using the control panel is saved and stored even after you turn off the printer.

5.2.3 Menu configurations

Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as emulation, character size, form length etc., which many applications make use of, are set. At the end of this chapter you will find a menu printout which shows you the printer’s default settings.

Your printer allows you to set and use five independent menu configurations. If one of your applications, for example, requires an IBM printer while another program works better with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation configuration with the desired settings, and set the second configuration as an EPSON emulation.

The active menu is always the one you used last. When you switch on the printer for the very first time, menu no. 1 is loaded. Menu no.1 only remains active until you load another menu. The last active menu is stored even after the printer is switched off and is reloaded automatically when the printer is switched on 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 the following message appears in the LC display: Now press the < (2) or > (3) key repeatedly until Load Menu=3 appears.

Then select menu no. 3 as the current setting using the Set key (1). The currently active setting is marked with an asterisk (*).

If changing menus it is possible that the printer initializes due to different

emulation settings.

5.2.4 Menu handling

You can navigate in the current menu using the four function and selection keys arranged below the LC display field. Each function and parameter displayed in the LCD is executed or selected by the corresponding key below, respectively. Usually two parameter groups are combined at one level. In the following example, these are the LPI and Skip parameter groups.

If you do not wish to change one of the two parameters you can either press the Next key (to access the two following parameter groups in the menu), or you can press the Back key (to access the two previous parameter groups in the menu). If you want to change a setting, (e.g. the line density), then press the LPI key (LPI = lines per inch) to access the actual parameter level.

The currently valid setting is marked by an asterisk (in the example below the current setting is 6 lpi). With the < and > keys you can view the other parameters available for this setting.

Example:

Save settings

Once the desired parameter is displayed on the LC display, you can save it by pressing the Set key. The parameter is then set and the printer automatically displays the parameter groups again. With the Exit key you can leave the sublevel without saving your changes.

6 Web Panel and Internal Ethernet Interface

6.1 Summary

6.1.1 Introduction It is assumed you have the following:

A working knowledge of your network system and related utilities.

Access to the supervisor or administrator account as a network administrator.

6.1.2 Supported Environments The built-in network interface supports the following platforms and protocols:

Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0, 2000, XP,7,8, Server 2003/2008/2012

Linux – Red Hat®, SuSE®

Unix® – Sun Solaris®, HP-UX®, IBM AIX®

TCP/IP, HTTP, LPR/LPD

6.1.3 Network Interface and Cabling The printer requires:

Ethernet 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX interface.

Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 socket connectors.

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

of the printer.

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

Right green light (Link Status) is solid: This shows the printer is connected to the network.

ally Dascom 2610

6.2 IP Configuration

6.2.1 Network IP Configuration The network interface of the printer requires an IP address.

There are several ways to assign an IP address to the printer:

DHCP (A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server assigned IP address.)

Static (An IP address obtained from your network administrator added to the printer

manually.)

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol server assigned IP address.)

6.2.2 Assigning the IP Address If the printer menu is locked, please see the 4.2.5.

1. Automatic DHCP IP address assignment:

Press <Setup>, then <Menu>.

Press <Next> until the I/O selection appears. Select <I/O>.

Press <Next> until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>.

Press <Next> until the IP Get M selection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <DHCP>.

Verify that 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 network interface broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP address. If a DHCP server is present, the request will be processed, and an IP address will be returned to the printer network interface. Upon receipt of the IP address, the printer accepts and uses this new IP address (and subnet mask, and default gateway, if any).

2) Once an IP address has been assigned, the printer network interface will no longer broadcast DHCP requests. The printer will broadcast a DHCP request each time you turn on the printer.

3) The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a temporary lease or temporary reservation, which expires later, or may grant a permanent or unlimited time lease or reservation, which does not expire.

4) Devices such as the printer that are granted a temporary lease will be notified before the lease expires and asked if they would like to extend the lease. The printer network interface will continue extending its lease indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server configuration), and thus maintain a consistent IP address.

If the printer is not turned on or is not connected to the network when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend the lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server will cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device. Therefore, it is highly recommended to explicitly specify the printer lease as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server configuration.

2. Static assignment using the operator panel:

Press < Setup >, then < Menu >.

Press < Next > until the I/O selection appears. Select < I/O >.

Press < Next > until the ETH-INT selection appears. Select < ETH-INT >, then< IP Addr >

Enter the value for Octet 1by pressing < OCTET 1 >. Use the forward and backward arrows to increment/decrement the number. When finished with each entry press < Set > which will set the currently displayed value. To exit out without changing the value 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 select <OCTET 3> and < OCTET 4 >.

Enter the default Gateway and Subnet mask in the same way. < Gateway > is available from the screen you are returned to. Press < Next > to select < Subnet >.

Enter the IP address get method under the selection <IP Get M>. Select <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 ETH-INT selection appears. Select <ETH-INT>.

Press <Next> until the IP Get M selection appears. Select <IP Get M> Select <BOOTP>

Obtain the Ethernet MAC address by printing the “Current Settings” configuration page, Turn off printer.

Configure your BOOTP server with desired IP address and MAC address.

Turn on printer.

Verify that the printer network interface received an IP address by printing the “Current Settings” configuration page or in the operator panel menu.

6.3 WebPanel

6.3.1 Introduction WebPanel is an intuitive browser interface that allows you to remotely manage your network

attached printer. From WebPanel, you can do virtually everything you can do from the printer's control panel.

In addition, WebPanel provides full access to all of the TallyCom networking features. Before using WebPanel, you must configure your printer with an IP address, using one of the three methods discussed in the Assigning the IP Address section above.

The screenshots that are used in this document to demonstrate the functionality may vary depending on the printer model.

6.3.2 Web Browser WebPanel is accessed from the printer through a web browser, i.e.Internet Explorer, Firefox,

etc. The browser needs to be configured with cache and history empty, and the browser set up to check for new pages every time, to insure that connections to WebPanel will produce the latest data.

WebPanel does not work through a proxy server. Therefore, the web browser must be setup to NOT use the Proxy Server for local IP addresses.

Disclaimer: Dascom WebPanel runs in conjunction with third party software, 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 versions have been tested with WebPanel and while there is full functionality, there will undoubtedly be visual differences and anomalies between products and versions with which Dascom has no control.
