z Frequency: 50 Hz ±2 Hz

TallyGenicom 8008US:

z Supply voltage: 120 VAC ±10%
z Frequency: 60 Hz ±2 Hz

WARNING! (Connect the printer to a dedicated wall outlet in compliance with the

specifications of the printer. Connecting the printer to a non-compliant wall outlet may
cause fire or electric shock.
Use a grounded wall socket to prevent an electric shock. Never use a converter plug.

2.4.2 Power Consumption

The printer’s maximum power consumption is 1,300 W.

When determining the power source for the printer, consider its electric power
capacity as well. Should the rated power capacity be exceeded, the ring mains’
circuit breaker may activate.

2.4.3 Precautions

Ensure that the plug connection is clean. In a damp environment, a contaminat­ed connector can draw sufficient amount of current to generate heat and may,
over an extended period of time, cause a fire.

Always use the power cable provided with your printer. Normally do not use a
power extension, however If it use cannot be avoided then only use only a cor­rectly rated power extension

Do not attempt to modify, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power ca­ble.

Do not place a heavy object on the cable. A damaged cable can cause fire or
electric shocks.

Never touch a power cable with wet hands. This constitutes an electric shock
hazard.

Chapter 2 Installation

2-9

Stop operation immediately if your printer emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual
noise or smell, or if water or any fluid is spilt onto the printer. These conditions
can cause fire.

Immediately turn off and unplug the printer, and contact your TallyGenicom
Customer Support centre.

If the power cable is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask your TallyGeni­com Customer Support Center for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can
cause fire or electric shocks.

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 cable. Forcibly pull­ing on a cable can damage it and cause fire or electric shocks.

Be sure to switch off and 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 shocks.

Once a month, unplug the printer and check the power cable for the following:

z The power cable is plugged firmly into a receptacle.
z The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
z The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
z The cable is not cracked or frayed.

If you notice any unusual conditions, contact your TallyGenicom Customer
Support centre.

When the printer is not used over an extended period of time, switch it off and
unplug it. If an unused printer is left connected to a power source for a long pe­riod, degraded insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakages, or fire.

Switch off the printer before connecting the interface cable or options. Con­necting the cable or card with a live printer can cause electric shocks.

print mode.

Inbuilt feeder in Simplex Print

1 Requires optional paper tray capable of loading up to legal size media.

2 Certain types of OHP films (transparencies) are not designed for laser printers. Use of such

transparencies sometimes causes severe damage to the printer, necessitating repair.

Notes on print media

z Do not use media for ink jet printer.
z Difference between the grain (orientation of paper fiber) and the printer’s

paper feed direction may cause frequent jams. It is advisable to use media
having portrait grain i.e. grain which is parallel to the paper feed direction.

z Some types of media may result in frequent jams or poor printing quality.

When determining the media to use, fully check the printing quality and
make sure jams do not occur.

z Some types of media may shorten the lifespan of the printer’s components

and consumables. In particular, printing a large amount of recycled paper,
thick paper, envelopes, or labels shortens the lifespan.

3.2.2 Adding Print Media

For adding paper into tray 1 see Chapter 2.8.1, “Adding Paper”

Note when custom sized paper is used in cassette 1 the display will show the
page size selected to be seen in the printer’s menu “PaperDisp” setting.

When the printer reports “printing” in the display, do not remove the pa­per tray from the printer. It may cause a jam.

1. Remove the optional paper tray
from the printer.

2. On the left side plate press the
green plastic lever in the direction
of the arrow and slide the side plate
to the correct position for the
paper width. The arrow on the
plate should line up with the sup­ported page sizes indicated on the
metal work on the base of the tray.

3. On the rear end plate press the
green plastic levers together and
slide the end plate to the correct
position for the paper length. The
tabs on the lever will slot into place
in line with the marking of one of
the supported page sizes shown on
the base of the tray.

4. Fan the paper stack and add it into
the paper tray. It is easier to place
the paper stack first under the
roller and then let it rest against the
rear support. Check the following:

X Check that the four corners of the

paper are level in the paper tray.

X Supply an appropriate amount of

paper has been added so that it
does not exceed the highest hori­zontal line on the height limit
shown on the inside of the left side
plate.

X Check the paper stack to ensure

that no paper has shifted so that its
edges are not in line with the rest of
the paper stack

X If paper is already in the tray you-

will need to pull the uppermost
sheet away from the roller before
adding more paper.

5. Re insert the paper tray into the
printer.

6. Check that the media size displayed
on the control panel is correct.
