66

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.16 Advanced Configuration

The Advanced Configuration page allows the user to set up and modify network connectivity information as well as setting up the password, email notification and logical printers. From this page it is also possible to Logout of TallyCom and restart TallyCom. The Administration page looks like this:

67

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.17 General

The General page sets up the timers and the labels for name, contact and location of the printer.

T

he Print Server Name is by default and can be changed accordingly. This

n

ame used for entering into Name Server (DNS/DHCP).

68

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.18 TCP/IP

The TCP/IP Page allows the user to modify the existing TCP/IP information for the printer. After changing the particular parameters, it is necessary to restart TallyCom from the Advanced Configuration page. If the IP Address is changed and the Send button selected you will disconnect from the current session and will need to reconnect at the new IP Address.

69

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.19 SNMP

The SNMP page allows the user to set the Community Name and the Access. The page looks like this:

70

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.20 Password

The Password page allows the user to set a password which would limit access to certain configuration and action links in WebPanel. The maximum number of characters for the password is 7. The default password is no password at all (“null“). However, “adm” is also acceptable as the default password to be compatible with the external TallyCom ċ pocket NICs (Options), which use this as the default password. If this or no password at all (“null“) is set as the password, all of the web pages are accessible by everyone. If any other password is set, the first time a user accesses a password protected page, a window will open asking for verification with user and password information. Once the password has been successfully recognized, all password protected pages will be available. Once the password is recognized, a timer is set, based on the Password Timer value set in the General web page. If there is inactivity in the browser which lasts beyond the timer time, the password will have to be reentered to access the protected pages. The password page looks like this:

6.3.21 User Name

The default user name is “adm” and cannot be changed.

6.3.22 Resetting Password

In order to reset password the printer needs to be defaulted. See

“Loading Default

”.

71

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.23 Email Notification

With the email notification link the user will be able to set up and receive email notices for error and status conditions of the printer. Up to 4 email addresses can be set. The page looks like this:

The user must set up the SMTP Mail Server as well as one or more users. The Reply address can be left as is unless there is reason to have to mail to the Reply address.

To activate the mail notification:

 Select which notifications are to be sent out.  Click on the check box(es) on the right of the desired notification(s) for the

particular user(s).

 Confirm your settings by clicking the Send button.

There is also a test mail option which sends a test email to “User 1” and is activated by checking the box and clicking on the “Save” button.

72

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

The “Configure” link at the end of each line of notification options allows the user to set up the message information for the email as well as selecting other pertinent information to be added to the email. In addition, the timer can be set which determines when the email notification is sent out. The page looks like this:

In this example, the Online message is set to “Printer is Online”, and information on Description, Location, and Printer Name will be added to the email. In this example, the event timer is set for 10 seconds after the event occurs and will be sent only once, unless the printer is rebooted or the state changes. If the timer is set to 0, no email message will be sent, regardless of whether the user box has been selected. Selecting the “Save” button will set these values.

73

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.24 Logical Printers

The logical printers page will add text or commands to the beginning and ending of print jobs. This is done by pre and post strings, defined in each of the logical printers. For entering binary data in these strings, the backslash character is used followed by 2 hexadecimal digits. Examples of this are \1b for an escape character, \0a for linefeed and \\ for backslash. Selecting the Logical Printers link gives the following page which lists seven possible logical printers plus Raw Port, which is port 9100:

74

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

When selecting one of the logical printers under the Description column, the following page is displayed:

In this example if the Enable checkbox is checked, the pre-string of “Beginning to print job” followed by a CR/LF will print at the beginning of every job sent to this LPR Queue. At the end of the print job, the message “End of job” with a formfeed will print. Unchecking the Enable checkbox will not send the pre or post strings. The LPD Queue Name is the name of the print queue that comes from the host. The Description can be changed by the user and does not have to match the LPD Queue Name.

6.3.25 String Replacement Example Plain Text

O

riginal Text / New Text

String Replacement Example Commands /\1B[8419t/\1B[4196t/ Control codes are entered with a back slash “\”. In this example the Formlength of A4 (8419”/720) represented by “1B[8419t” is being replaced by the string “1B[4196t” (4196”/720) which results in A5. Multiple strings are separated by a semicolon “;”.

75

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.25 Logout of TallyCom

The Logout link disconnects the browser session from the printer. Clicking on the “Home” link reestablishes the connection.

6.3.26 Restart TallyCom

Selecting this link will reboot the printer and disconnect the current printer connection. It is used to reset certain TCP/IP variables that were set in the General and TCP/IP pages. Once TallyCom has restarted, those new setting will take effect. When this link is selected, the follow page is displayed, giving the user the option to continue or not.

76

Tally Dascom 2600/2610/PRN-7

6.3.27 Virtual Control Panel

The Virtual Control Panel link is in the Printer Status area of the web page. This control panel is a visual representation of the actual control panel on the printer. It allows the user to remotely read and set panel information as if they were standing at the control panel. The functionality of the virtual panel is identical to the physical LCD panel.

Before using the virtual panel, it is important to configure the browser to allow popup windows from the printer, otherwise the panel will not display. Once the browser is configured, the page will look similar to this:

The Virtual Control Panel will be the active window. This window will show the current error state and display the contents of the printer’s LCD display. Selecting the buttons on the display will behave the same as if selecting the buttons on the printer itself. The LCD information on the virtual panel refreshes every 15 seconds. The physical panel, virtual panel and Online Status in the Printer Status are all active, so there may be some synchronization delay issues if a user presses a button on the physical printer or the Online Status in the Printer Status area. The Panel Lock feature affects the virtual panel in the same way as the physical panel. The only functional difference between the physical and virtual panel is that in the virtual panel, the LF/FF option will always do a FF. To close the virtual panel, click on the X in the upper right of the window.

1) This feature needs the browser to allow pop ups.

2) The LED version unit does not support this function.

The information to be printed is transmitted in a “bracket” (DC4) A control sequence (Header) defines the parameters of the used barcode once (e.g. type, ratio, etc.). If no header is defined, the informaton in the “bracket” will be printed in Code 2/5 Matrix.

Please note that within the Barcode environment the barcode commands h

ave priority in case of conflicts with the emulation.

7.2.4 US Postnet barcode Postnet is a special US-American type of barcode. Is printed in character size.

Numeric

values from 0 to 9 are printable. After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9 (hex. 39)

are interpreted as barcode figures. All other characters terminate the Barcode mode.

Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode. The Postnet sequence is accessible in every emulation.

The character (e.g. CR = carriage return, hex. 0D), which terminates the b

arcode is not printed or carried out. US Postnet barcode does not require a barcode bracket.

7.2.5 Royal Mail Customer barcode The Royal Mail Customer barcode is a special Mail type barcode. It is printed in

character size. Numeric values from 0 to 9 and alpha- numeric values from A to Z are printable. After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex.30) to 9 (hex. 39) and alphanumeric values from A (hex. 41) to Z (hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower cases from a (hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital characters. Control characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31) terminates this barcode mode. All other characters are ignored. Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode. The Royal Mail Customer sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer prints barcode in LQ.

7.2.6 KIX barcode The KIX barcode prints numeric values from 0 to 9 and alpha-numeric values from

A to Z as barcode characters. After activating this barcode type, numeric characters from 0 (hex. 30) to 9 (hex. 39) and

alphanumeric values from A(hex. 41) to Z (hex. 5A) are interpreted as barcode figures. Lower cases from a (hex. 61) to z (hex. 7a) are automatically converted to capital characters. Control characters from hex. 0 (dec. 0) to hex.1F (dec. 31) terminates this barcode mode. All other characters are ignored. Exception: the TAB function (hex. 09) is allowed within Barcode mode. The KIX sequence is accessible in MTPL emulation. The printer prints barcode in LQ.

T

7.2.7 USPS Intelligent Mail barcode The USPS Intelligent Mail barcode is a 4-state barcode which works in MTPL, IBM and

Epson emulation. 4-state barcode data must be converted into only 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each number represents one of the four possible bars. Tabs (Hex 09) and spaces can separate either the bars or the barcodes horizontal, but every other character below Hex 20 will terminate barcode mode.

You can enter the barcode mode with the sequence ESC [ ? 11 ~, the sequence ESC [ 10 ~ exits the barcode mode.

7.2.8 LC printing 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 sequences (LCP*).

The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once. This definition remains until the printer is switched off. The printable LCP* information is transmitted in an LCP “bracket” (SI).

The following character sets (with national characters) are available.

The character sets are selected via the following LCP sequence ESC ”P“ ”L“ ”S“ n ESC ”\“. The value of n may range 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:

7.3 Interfaces Specifications

Your matrix printer offers connectivity via a parallel interface, USB and Ethernet interface. Serial I/O RS232C interface is an option. This appendix informs you about the parallel Interface, USB, Ethernet interface and optional serial interface RS232C, and describes the communication between your computer and the printer.

These interfaces are linked to form a called shared interface. Your printer can be configured to use only one interface or three alternately. When only one interface is used, it is monitored by the printer. If the printer is configured to use three interfaces simultaneously it monitors all interfaces for incoming data. As soon as the printer recognizes a signal, it switches to the respective interface and sends the BUSY signal to the other interface. After finishing the data transmission, the printer remains switched to the interface for a certain period of time (30 seconds). When this time has elapsed, the controller again enables all interfaces and the sequence described restarts. If incoming data is on the other interface and the current print position is not “Top of Form”, a form feed is carried out.

7.3.1 Parallel I/O IEEE 1284

The bidirectional parallel interface offers the “nibble” mode of IEEE1284 interface. This enables installation in accordance with Windows “Plug & Play”.

The standard parallel interface is able to transfer data at a speed of max. 30, 000 bytes per second. When the receiving buffer is full, the data input is blocked until the data buffer is empty.

Protocols

䕺 M

emory mode XON/XOFF

The received characters are stored in a FIFO buffer (first in/first out). The characters are processed in this buffer. The buffer capacity can be adjusted from 0 to 128 Kb.

If the buffer is full, the interface signals NOT READY (signal acknowledgement: Level 1,

-12 V) and XOFF (hex. 13, dec. 19). This results in stopping the data transmission. When the FIFO buffer is empty again, the interface signals READY (level 0, +12 V) and XON (hex.11, dec. 17). Data transmission can be continued.

In addition, the READY signal is influenced by the status of the printer (On/Off Line). If the printer assumes an undefined state, the interface also signals NOT READY and XOFF.

䕺 Memory mode Robust XON/XOFF

Robust XON/XOFF is similar to XON/XOFF. However, the state of the printer (XON or XOFF) is also periodically transmitted via the TxD line in the case of Robust XON/XOFF.

NQ/STX protocol

In addition to this XON/XOFF message, the possibility exists of requesting a status byte from the printer using the ENQ code (hex. 05, dec. 5). The STX code (hex 02, dec. 2) is used to clear any error messages (parity error, buffer overflow).

Clears any previous parity or framing error as well as any buffer overflow error.

The current printer status is sent to the host. This protocol is automatically used for data flow control and printer

status handling. The STX and ENQ characters are not filtered out of the data stream

and control the interface in addition. The STX and ENQ are filtered out of the data stream and handled

immediately by the interface.

䕺 E

TX/ACK protocol ETX (hex03): XON/XOFF:

ACK (hex06): HandThr.=ON:

HandThr. =OFF:

Acknowledgement informing the host that further data may be transmitted.

This protocol is used in addition to data flow control and printer status handling.

Block end character. An ETX is not acknowledged by ACK before all previously arrived data

have been printed. When the printer receives an ETX, it returns an ACK to the host. Any

previously sent data or blocks may still be present in the printer buffer.

䕺 A

CK/NAK protocol The ACK/NAK Protocol is a so called block Protocol. Normally the Blocks are starting with the Block Start Character (STX, dec 02, hex 02) and

end with a Block End Character (ETX, dec 03, hex 03). As soon as a Block is received by the printer it acknowledges it with the Acknowledge Character (ACK, dec 06, hex 06). If there is an Error in the transmission a Not-Acknowledge-Character (NAK, dec 21, hex

15) is being sent back. As a block end character other codes are possible. One can check the printer condition/status; During the transmission of graphic data or download character per se problems can come up within the block mode as in this data

block end characters can be transmitted as normal graphic or other data.

10 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.

S

witch printer off and unplug the power cord from the mains before doing

a

ny maintenance work.

10.1 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.

10.1.1 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.

10.1.2 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 hand wheel.

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.
