Product Overview
Tally has engineered the following features into the T8006e printers.
Space-saving design. The printer is compact for easy installation in small office spaces or on desk tops.
Low-cost operation. The printer toner cartridges and the developer are incorporated as a single unit, so there are fewer supplies to replace.
T8006e accepts various printing media. The printer accepts many types, sizes, and weights of paper and other media, including envelopes, heavy paper stocks, OHP transparencies, and labels.
Note: The T8006e accepts paper sizes up to legal size (8.5” x 14”).
Simple network connection. The printer has an RJ-45 port for LAN connections, and the printer can adapt to your existing network protocol whether it is a TCP/IP, Windows® or IPX/SPX network. You can also use a Web control function to monitor the printer from a browser screen. It support MAC OS ver 9.X or earlier as well.
Time-saving color adjustments. The printer supports functions for fine color adjustment, and allows you to manually save the settings. You can save color adjustments under a specific name, and retrieve these specific user-defined color adjustments later for quick printing.

Operating Your Printer
Turning the Printer On
1. Press the main power switch. The printer will perform a series of diag­nostic tests and then begin the warm-up cycle. This process may take up to 4 minutes.
2. Once the printer has completed the warm-up cycle, make sure the printer display reads “Ready.”
Note: If the MESSAGE lamp is lit, a printer error has occurred. Check
the display for an error message, and take the appropriate action.
Turning the Printer Off
1. Ensure that the printer is not printing a job or warming up.
2. Press the power switch.
Note: When restarting the printer, wait at least five seconds after turning
off the printer before turning it on again.
Selecting Media
Loading your printer with the correct media is important in keeping your printer running well. Because some types of paper may shorten the life span of the printer components or quickly exhaust toner supplies, you should use paper of the correct type, weight and size. Following the guidelines for filling the paper trays listed below will maximize the performance of your printer and the quality of your print jobs.
When loading transparencies, labels or envelopes, you must use Tray 1.

Loading Media
When loading paper or transparencies into your printer, do not load too much and make sure that the media is all the same size. Loading beyond the specified capacity will cause paper jams. When using transparencies ensure that this is the only media in the tray.
1. With both hands, gently lift and pull the paper tray out of the printer.
2. Using the green grips, adjust the lateral and end paper retainers according to the paper size.
3. Place the paper in the paper tray with the printing surface facing up. Make sure that the paper does not exceed the limit marked on the inside of the green grips.

Changing Print Defaults
A printer driver is software your computer uses to translate your documents into a format the printer can understand. By configuring the printer driver settings, you can change how your computer sends documents to the printer.
There are two ways that you can configure the printer driver settings; you can set default properties for all documents sent from your computer, or you can set a document’s properties in the application you are currently printing from. Whether you are setting the default properties, or customizing the settings for a particular document, the Tally driver interface is exactly the same.
To set the print properties for a particular document, use the Print dialog of the application you are printing from. The Print dialog is normally located in the File menu of the application you are currently using. From the File menu, select Print to open the Print Setup window. In the Print Setup window, click on the Properties button.
To configure the driver settings permanently, use the procedures on the following pages to open up the default printer settings dialog.

Setting Colors and Print Quality
The Color/Print quality tab allows you to make customized color and mode choices for documents, photographs, and graphics. The default setting is document, which provides the best settings for printing text or mixed text and graphics. For sharper photographs, choose photographs; for sharper graphics, or to match a specific color, choose graphics. It also allows you to choose to print the color black either from a combination of colors or from a black color cartridge. You can customize settings further, with Color Adjustment and Density Adjustment. Each time you make a custom Color Mode setting scheme, you can name it, save it, and use it again.
After you choose your settings on the Color/Print quality tab, click OK.
Item Description
Color Mode Set­tings
Use Color Mode settings to configure how images will be printed according to the type of image to be printed.
Print mode
Use Print Mode to select whether print speed or print quality has a higher priority. Standard mode is the optimal median between speed and quality printing.
Black Generation Setting
Use Black Generation to create black color using black toner instead of a combination of toner colors. Selecting Black Generation can improve printing results of a densely-colored image. When printing black over a large area, black cre­ated through a combination of colors may not fully adhere to the media and peel away.
Save toner
Save Toner uses less toner on the printed page and therefore lightens the printed page for draft printing.
Print color charac­ters at black
Color characters are printed by black. When the check box of "Print color characters at black" is on, color characters are printed by black.
Color adjustment for each object
Select setting color adjustment for each object (text, image, graphic).

Maintaining Your Printer
When supplies such as toner cartridges and fuser oil need replacement, and when printer parts need replacement after high-volume printing, the control panel displays messages.
See “Chapter 4 Operating Your Printer” on page 35, and “Appendix D Control Panel Messages” on page 147for more information about control panel messages.
Printer parts must be replaced by a qualified Tally Service Technician. For more information on part replacement, see “Appendix B Periodic Replacement Parts” on page 113.
For more information about supply orders, see the Tally T8006e Color Laser Printers Quick Start Guide on the Tally CD-ROM.
Perform the following steps to replenish the supplies in your printer.
Warning! Make sure the power switch is off, and that the printer has
cooled for a minimum of 30 minutes before replacing the fuser consumables.
Replacing Toner Cartridges
Replace toner cartridges at least once every 12 months, or more often depending on usage. At a 5% coverage rate and continuous printing of letter-size paper, T8006e toner cartridges can print about 12,000 pages for black (K), and 7,200 pages for color (C, M and Y).
Note: The original toner cartridges from the Starter Kit are filled at half
volume for first-time installation only. Their early replacement does not reflect the replacement cycle stated above.
Warning! If you get toner in your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with water for at
least 15 minutes, and contact a physician.

Note: Save the protective cover for future use when shipping the printer and
toner cartridges separately.

Replacing the Oil Bottle
Replace the oil bottle after 12,000 pages have printed (at a 5% toner coverage rate on letter-size paper). The oil must be replaced sooner than the 12,000-page specification if the fusing unit has been replaced, because the new fusing unit requires extra oil for the initial coating of its rollers.
Warning! Make sure the power switch is off and the printer has cooled for
a minimum of 30 minutes before replacing supplies near the fusing unit.
7. Carefully insert the toner car­tridge along the guide and into the appropriate toner cartridge slot in the printer.
8. Close the front cover by carefully pushing it inward until it locks.
