UL1950/1995 Third Edition, CSA-22.2 No.950-95

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference in radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for class B computing devices in accordance with the specification in subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partial installation. It this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna

• Relocate the peripheral away from the receiver

• Move the peripheral away from the receiver

• Plug the peripheral into a different outlet, so that the peripheral and the receiver are in different branch circuits If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington DC 20402 Stock No.

004.000.00345.4

Warning : To comply with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a class B computing device, the printer cable must be shielded. To assure compliance with FCC regulations for a computing device, use a shielded cable with a metal shell connector. The use of cables not properly shielded may result in violating FCC regulations.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian department of communications.

This unit complies with DOC standard C108.8-M 1983.

Attention: Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépressant les limites applicables aux apprareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des communications du Canada.

This device fulfils the European standards requirements by complying with the Directive of the Commission dated May 3, 1989 (89/336/EEC) as well as 92/31/EEC, and 93/68/EEC relating to electromagnetic compatibility and the Directive dated February 19, 1973 (73/23/EEC) plus 1992+A1+A2+A3+A4+A11 relating to low-voltage electrical equipment.

Conformity with the above mentioned Directives is indicated by the CE symbol attached to the device.

Note:

Conformity may be affected by:

• using interface cables not complying with the specifications

• non-observance of important instructions in the user’s manual

• installing components not approved for this device by the manufacturer

• unauthorized manipulation This Printer contains advanced energy conservation technology that reduces power consumption when it is not in

active use. When the printer does not receive data for an extended period of time, power consumption is automatically lowered.

For potentially faster printing of the first page, you may turn the power saver off from the user menu setting. The energy star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any product or service.

Product Overview

Tally has engineered the following features into the T8006/T8306 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.

T8006/T8306 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 T8306 accepts paper sizes up to 13” x 19” (A3W).

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.

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.

The T8006 accepts paper sizes up to legal size (8.5” x 14”), and

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.

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.

When supplies such as toner cartridges and fuser oil need replacement, and when printer parts need replacement after high-volume printing (approximately 100,000 to 600,000 pages), the control panel displays messages.

See “Chapter 4 Operating Your Printer” on page 37, and “Appendix D Control Panel Messages” on page 141for 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 117.

Options and Accessories

Options and accessories for your printer include memory modules, a hard disk, a duplex printing unit, and a paper feeder. Memory modules increase the speed of your printer computing and printing, and a hard disk caches data for high speed printing of multiple copies in page order. The duplex printing unit provides the ability to print images on both sides of paper or media. To support large print jobs, you can add paper feeder trays to increase the paper capacity up to 750 sheets in the T8006 and 1,250 sheets in the T8306.

For information on how to order options and accessories for the Tally T8006/T8306 printers, see the Color Laser Printers Quick Start Guide on the CD-ROM.

Memory Module

The memory module can increase printing speed when printing multiple-page documents. You can install up to two additional memory modules.

Installing Additional Memory Modules

Caution!

removing the memory module from its protective bag, touch a grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity that could be stored in your body.

The memory module is sensitive to static discharge. Before
