When the printer is installed, be sure to lock the caster stoppers. An unlocked machine may fall over or slide and cause injuries.
OTHERS
The printer is capable of operating normally within the following recommended
environmental limits.
Temperature range 10-32°C humidity range 15-85% (no condensation). Humidity should be 65% or below at 32°C, and temperature should be 28°C or below at 85% humidity.
Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect copy quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.
Do not expose the printer to direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can
adversely affect the machine’s performance.
Connecting an Ethernet cable directly to outdoor may cause printer breakdown by
lightning.
Use an Ethernet cable only for indoor connections.
Do not place the printer where it will be exposed directly to an air-conditioner. Temperature conditions inside the printer will change and may cause the printer breakdown.
Page 17

For Power & Earth Connection
The power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your printer depend on your printer configuration. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power outlet. Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric shock. If in doubt, contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.
Rated voltage 110 V Rated frequency 60 Hz
Rated voltage 220-240 V Rated frequency 50/60 Hz
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a non-negligible amount of current that can generate heat over an extended period of time and eventually cause fire.
Always use the power cord provided with your printer. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord. In Japan: 125 V/15 A In other countries: Contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers. If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the printer or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shock.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if your printer produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the printer. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch off and unplug the p rinter, and contact our Cu stomer Support Center or your dealers.
Page 18
18
To prevent fire or electric shock, follow the instructions below based on your printer configuration. If in doubt, contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.
- If your printer is a 220-240 V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth line since the earth connection is incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a properly rated outlet.
- If your printer is a 100 or 110 V model, use the green earth bundled with the power cord, located at the rear of the printer. The earth wire must be connected to one of the following conductors:
- Earth terminal of the specified power outlet
- A piece of copper buried in the earth 650 mm or deep er
- Earth terminal with Class D* earthing.
*Class D is the regulation for Japan only.
Never connect the earth wire to any of the following:
Gas pipe, which can be ignited and explode
Telephone line earth wire or lightning rod, which can draw an excessive electric current if hit by lightning
Water faucet or pipe whose electrical conductivity is broken by a non-metal part
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask our Customer Support Center or your dealers for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not unplug or replug the printer while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.
When unplugging the printer, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock.
Once a month, unplug the printer and check the power cord for the following:
The power cord is plugged firmly into a receptacle.
The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
The cord is not cracked or frayed. If you notice any unusual conditions, contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.
Page 19
19
When the printer is not used over an extended period of time, switch it off and,
when the display turns off, unplug it. If an unused printer is left connected to a
power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric shock,
current leakage, or fire.
Be sure to switch off and wait for the display to turn off, and then unplug the printer
before accessing the interior of the printer for cleaning, maintenance, or fault
clearance. Access to a live printer's interior can cause electric shock.
Switch off the printer before connecting the interface cable or options. Connecting
the cable or card to a live printer can cause electric shock.
OTHERS
Use a soft cloth moistened with water when cleaning the printer exterior. If dirt is not
removed, wipe with a soft cloth usi ng a small amou nt of mild detergent. Do no t spr ay
the cleaner directly onto the printer. The cleaner mist may get into the printer through
gaps, resulting in trouble. Also, never use anything other than mild detergent.
The printer has a built-in circuit for protection against lightning-induced surges in
current. If lightning strikes in your neighborhood, switch off the printer. Disconnect
the power cord “and telephone line” from the printer, and reconnect them only when
the lightning has stopped.
Reception interference
If this printer is supposed to be the cause of poor reception such as r adio static or
blinking and deflection in a television display, switch off the printer and check if the
poor reception goes away. If the poor reception goes away after switching off the
printer, combine the following methods to prevent it.
Reposition or reorientate the machine and TV and/or radio.
Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.
Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.
Reorientate the TV and/or radio antennas and cabl es until the interference stops. For an outdoor antenna, ask your local electrician for support.
Use coaxial cable antennas.

For Machine Operation
Do not place any liquid container such as a vase or coffee cup on the printer. Spilt water can cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the printer. If metal and flammable parts get into the printer, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shock.
If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the printer, switch off the printer and, when the display turns off, unplug the printer. Contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers. Operating a debris-contaminated printer can cause fire or electric shock.
Never open or remove printer covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in the User Guide. A high voltage component can cause electric shock.
Do not try to alter the printer configuration, or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can cause smoke or fire.
This equipment is certified as a Clas s 1 laser p roduct under IEC608 25. This means that the printer does not emit hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within the p rotective ho usings a nd extern al covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user operation. Do not perform any operation apart from the instructions given in the manual. There may be a danger of laser beam leakage.

Installing the PCL Printer Driver
To print from the computer, install the printer driver on the computer. The printer driver is software that converts print data or instructions from the computer into data that can be understood by this printer. The installation method varies depending on the environment you use.
1.6.1 After Setting up the Printer
Before you can print on the TallyGenicom 8124 you need to configure your computer. When the printer is used as a local printer, install the printer driver onto the computer connected to the printer. If it is to be used as a network printer it is normal to first install the printer driver on the computer connected to the printer and then share it to other computers. In several places throughout this chapter it is necessary to load the TallyGenicom 8124 CD-ROM into the drive. It is recommended that all other app licati ons are cl osed down before in serting the CD-ROM. The CD will auto start and give you choose of installing PCL or Adob e Post Script drivers. To install PCL drivers follow the procedures below, for PS driver installation see the “Installing the Adobe PS Printer Driver (Windows 95/98/Me)” section of this manual.
1.6.2 The PCL Printer Drivers
A printer driver is software that converts print data or instructions from the computer to data interpreted by the printer. The drivers for the Windows operating systems (OS) are available for the printer.
The printer drivers are stored on the TallyGenicom 8124 auto-run CD. If the CD does not either auto run or you wish to manually install th e drivers you can add the printer dri vers and utilities by searching for the relevant files on the CD.

Installing the Printer Driver (Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows 2003)
The procedure for installing the printer driver on to Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP is as follows. The Auto run CD will install the printer driver onto the lpt1 port. This is the best method to use under normal circumstances. If the printer is using SMB or Novell printing it may be necessary under some circumstances to not allow th e CD to Auto Install. Please consult your network administrator for advice. Instead the printer driver should be added by selecting the add printer driver and pointing to the correct place on the CD. This should always be done when printing using IPP. This is due to the difficulty in selecting network ports on the above systems after installing the printer driver
To Install and configure the printer on Windows NT, 2000 XP and Win2003 you need to log on as either an administrator or power user.
Refer to the “Network Print Environment User Guide” for more details on configuring the printer over a network.
