3 Paper Installation Guide

The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called cut sheets, include

envelopes and non-continuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms include labels and multipart forms fed into

the printer using the forms tractors. The printer is able to print 1~5 plies multipart paper.

Do not load paper that has been folded or is damaged, wrinkled, or curled.

Adjusting the Print Gap Lever

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.

There are 2 paper feed modes: friction feed and tractor feed. When switching from tractor to cut sheet, the
tractor fed paper can remain loaded in the tractor until the next time it needs to be moved to the printing
position. This feature saves time and provides great flexibility for the user.

Friction Feed Handling

1. Move the paper-feed lever forward to “ ” for friction feed mode.

2. Adjust the print gap lever if necessary.

3. Raise the single sheet feeder until it locks into its mounting. Align the left paper guide with the mark on the

left of the single sheet feeder. Adjust the right paper guide to the width of the paper used.

4. Insert a sheet of paper. Make sure that the bottom edge of the paper engages snugly with the platen.

5. The paper should advance automatically to the print position. The printer is now ready to print in the online

state.

Tally Dascom 1125

12

Tractor Feed Handling

1. Move the paper-feed lever backward to “ ” for continuous paper position.

2. Adjust the print gap lever if necessary.

3. Raise the tractor doors and fit the first 3 paper holes onto the left tractor pins. Close the left tractor door. In

the same way, install the paper on the right tractor.

4. Adjust the right tractor to the width of the paper until the paper is flat. Do not stretch the paper too taut.

Push the right lock lever down to secure the right tractor in place.

5. Press the【Load/Eject】key to load the paper to the starting print position. The printer is now ready to print

in the online state.

Tally Dascom 1125

13

Continuous Paper Placement

1. Place the printer on a solid base. The minimum suitable height of the solid base is 75 cm.

2. Left and right positioning: The direction of continuous paper should be parallel with the paper guide. The

tolerance should be less than 3 cm.

3. Front and back positioning: The distance between the rear of printer and the wall should be more than 60

cm. To avoid paper jam, the distance between the continuous paper and the edge of desk should be 10~15

cm.
