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.

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.

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.

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

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.
