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.

Printer Location
Tally color printers require the following environment specifications for
optimal operation.
Space
Put the printer on a stable surface with good ventilation. Ensure printer is
level for optimum performance. Keep the printer away from corrosive
chemicals, gases, dust, and other contamination, and away from

Unpacking the Printer
The printer is heavy. Two or more persons must use the four grip
locations on the underside of the printer to move it.
The printer is packaged with a lift-off box top and bottom tray carton.
Depending on the printer model, the printer can be delivered on a pallet.
Warning! Do not lift the printer using the polyethylene bag that covers the
printer.
