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.

Macintosh Chooser ProblemsIf your Tally T8006/T8306 printer does not show in the Connected To: window when you click the Tally T8006/T8306 printer icon in the Chooser, check for the following items.

Not in Connected To: Possible Cause Correction

Nothing in Connected To: The Macintosh may not be configured to use the same protocols the printer is using.

Verify Ethernet is selected in the Appletalk window on the Control Panel.

Verify that TCP/IP is selected for the connection in the TCP/IP window on the Con-trol Panel.

Others on the network are visible, but not the printer.

The printer may not be cor-rectly connected to your net-work.

Verify the printer is connected to network.

Print a network configuration page (page 147) and check the following:Appletalk Enabled YESBinary Enabled NOType Printer 1 TALLY_BSOther items are set to default values.Use telnet, FTP or a web browser to connect to the printer on-board HTTP server and change any values that need correction.

106


Network ProblemsNetwork problems may be caused by various problems and situations. Proceed to the following problem-and-correction procedures.

Caution! Do not disassemble the printer for further troubleshooting and/or repair. If the problem is not found and corrected after following these troubleshooting steps, contact a tally Service Technician.

Network Problem Possible Correction

Bitmaps (Windows RLE compressed graphic data)

Sometimes the printing of RLE-compressed image data may not be successful. If this happens, convert the image into a non-com-pressed format and try printing again.

Color Matching The result of an image printed in CMYK mode processed with an image processing application may be improved by turning on “No Color Adjustment”.

Copies Some applications do not allow the number of copies to be set by the printer driver. If this happens, set the number of copies in the application.

EMF spooling EMF spooling can increase printing speed, but may also cause incorrect printing to occur. If errors occur in the print output, turn off EMF Spooling.

Excel spreadsheets Excel print settings must be made in the print properties dialog on a per-document basis.

Halftone printing The printer driver may not print faint halftone colors. In this case, use deeper halftone color or change the halftone pattern.

Margin When the user-defined size is used, an excess margin may occur. This may occur because the print location is misaligned. Change the margin setting.

Monochrome printing If the application’s color/monochrome setting is different from the print driver’s, your printer may not print correctly. Apply the same setting to both the application and driver settings.

Orientation When the print orientation is set to landscape in the user-defined size, the print result may be partially missing. If this occurs, set the print orientation to portrait.

107


Paper size If the paper size specified for the driver differs from the paper size specified by the application, the print size may not be cor-rect. Set the application and driver to use the same paper size.If pages within a document specify different page sizes, the doc-ument may not print correctly. Specify the same page size throughout the document.

Performance If you feel that monochrome printing speed is too slow, you can speed up the printing by setting the printer driver to mono-chrome.

Priority when different settings are specified

When you customize print settings, you can do it at one of three places: the application properties, the default driver settings and at the printer control panel. Any application print settings that you enter in the application’s Print Properties dialog will override the default driver settings on a per-session basis. Your default print driver settings will override any settings entered at the printer control panel until they are changed.

Reduced Print from Word If reduced printing and 2 pages/4 pages printing from MS-Word is specified, printout may not be reduced. In such a case, specify the same setting of paper size for the application.

Spool error If a spool error occurs during printing, the system may stop printing and the Printer window may be inaccessible. If this occurs, delete data from the spooler and restart the computer.

Spool setting If there is not enough memory installed in the printer to spool the entire job, use the Printer Properties’ Scheduling tab to allow the data to be printed directly. When printing directly, increase the timeout setting significantly.

Timeout When sending a large document, the printer resets before the document is printed. This indicates that the printer or print driver timeout setting is not set to a long enough interval. If this occurs, set the printer and print driver timeout interval to a greater value.

Appendix BPeriodic Replacement

Parts

Some of the component parts of the printer naturally deteriorate over time. Periodic replacement of these parts will ensure the highest quality output from your printer. The following table gives suggested intervals for replacing these parts. Because the life span of periodic replacement parts depends on how the part was used, it may have to be replaced earlier than the time indicated below. If you use a periodic replacement part beyond its specified life span, printing quality may be reduced and errors or paper jams may occur.A service engineer should replace these parts. Contact your dealer or authorized Tally service representative.

Note: After high-volume printing conditions (approximately 100,000 to 600,000 pages), the control panel may begin to display messages indicating that certain printer parts are worn and need to be replaced (refer to “Appendix D Control Panel Messages” on page 141 for more information). These parts should only be replaced by a qualified service technician or a Tally service engineer.

Test Button for LAN ConfigurationThe test button is located near the LAN port. The following functions can be executed by pressing the test button:

• Printing a print server test page—this function is used to test the printer connection.

• Printing a parameter list to confirm the LAN port setting.• Setting the LAN port parameter values to the factory-set default

values.The test button function is determined by the number of times the test button is pressed. The following explains how to execute these functions.

Printing a Print Server Test PagePress the test button once (1 time) to output the test page.After installing the printer, you can output a test page to confirm whether the interface is functioning normally. Basic information about the LAN port is printed on the test page, including the node address for the print server.

Printing a Parameter ListPress the test button twice (2 times) to print the LAN port parameter settings to the connected printer. All parameters and the current setting values are printed in the parameter list.

Setting the Factory-Set Default ValuesTo return the LAN port parameter values to the factory-set default values, follow these steps:1. Turn off the printer.

147


2. While holding down the test button, turn on the printer. Keep the test button held down until the network LED starts to blink at one-sec-ond intervals.

3. Release the test button and wait until the network LED blinks at least five times.

4. Hold the test button down again. When the network LED lights steadily, the function has completed.

5. Turn off the printer and then turn the printer on again to make the settings effective.

Note: When the default setting function is executed, the IP address (INT_ADDR parameter) is not reset to the default value.

Remote Configuration and MonitoringThe Tally T8006 and T8306 allow a network administrator to set up and change the printer’s network configuration through the Tally NetPilot and a number of on-board network servers.

Using these tools, you can quickly configure the printer’s network settings from any computer on the network. Your Tally printer also allows you to monitor its state remotely through Tally’s PrintMonitor and the included Tally.MIB file for SNMB administration utilities.

Tally NetPilot Tally’s NetPilot is an administration tool that allows you to quickly change the configuration of your printer from within Windows.

HTTP HTTP allows you to change printer settings from any computer that has a Web browser.

FTP FTP allows you to download a configuration file to your computer, edit it, and upload it to the printer.

Telnet Telnet allows changes of the network configuration file from any computer or terminal.

148

Appendix E Network Management

Configuring the Printer With NetPilotConfiguring your Tally printer through NetPilot happens in two dialogs, the Network dialog and the Properties dialog.

Network DialogThe Network dialog allows you to change the interface settings for NetBEUI/NetBIOS, Appletalk and IPX/SPX networks.

NetWare Network SettingsThe Network dialog allows you to change your printer’s print server, the bindery file server and the banner type. The NetWare dialog window will display your connection to the printer.The printer can operate in either print server mode or remote printer mode. The following briefly explains the advantages and disadvantages of each mode.Print Server ModeIn this mode, the file server is logged in and the printer queue is repeatedly polled to determine whether a printer job exists. The NetWare print server, or workstation on which PSERVER runs, is emulated. This enables high-speed printing without applying a load to the network. In this print server mode, a single-user NetWare license is required. Remote Printer ModeIn this mode, a connection is made to a dedicated workstation that is executing PSERVER.NLM or PSERVER.EXE. A print job is received from the file server via the NetWare print server. The network interface emulates the workstation on which the NetWare RPRINTER and NPRINTER operate. This mode is recommended for a small-scale network. To reference the print queue, you must first log on to either the file server or NDS tree.Using Print Server Mode will allow for easy installation and high speed, but will require one license for each connection to the file server. Using Remote Printer Mode is slower, and adds additional traffic to the network, but it doesn’t require any additional licenses.

149

Configuring the Printer With TCP/IP UtilitiesWhen configuring the printer using TCP/IP utilities, you must first configure the basic TCP/IP settings either on the printer control panel, with Tally’s NetPilot, or with one of the methods outlined below. Configuring TCP/IP allows you to later use the Web interface, Telnet, or FTP interface to configure the rest of the printer’s network settings.If you use ARP or RARP to set TCP/IP, the Ethernet address of your printer can be accessed by printing a test page, or by referring to the label on the back of the printer.

Note: In order to make changes to the printer’s network settings, root or administrator authority is required.

The IP address can be configured on the control panel, or remotely configured using any of these methods:

• ARP: Used under UNIX, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT.• RARP: Used under UNIX. This method cannot be used on a

router.• BOOTP: Used under UNIX. This method can be used through a

router.• DHCP: Used under both Windows NT and UNIX.• NetPilot: Set by using the NetPilot wizard.

Setting with ARPIn Windows 95/98 or Windows NT open the DOS window, then execute the following command:

The example below shows how to set the IP address of a printer with an Ethernet address of 0:0:87:90:d6:a1 to 192.168.3.191.

Once the address is set, ping the IP address of the printer to confirm the configuration.

The host returns the message Reply from 192.168.3.191... This indicates that the address has been set.

Note: Because Windows 95 does not implement ARP mapping correctly, before setting the IP address with Windows 95, ping another device to confirm TCP/IP is operating, and after executing the ARP command, confirm the

arp -s IP-address ethernet-address

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00008790d6a1 192.168.3.191

ping 192.168.1.191s

158


contents of the ARP table with arp -a.

On a UNIX workstation, use the command:

The example below shows how to set the IP address of a printer named PS90d6a1 to 192.168.1.191.

Once the address is set, ping the IP address of the printer to confirm the configuration.

If you receive a message indicating that the network is unreachable, the Ethernet address of the PC or workstation does not match the IP address that has attempted to set the network interface. Consult the network administrator and specify an appropriate IP address. For a more complete discussion of setting up and using ARP under Unix, see the ARP manual.

Note: If the ping command results in a timeout, turn the printer power off then back on, and retry immediately after printer warm-up.

Setting with RARPAn example of the setting made by RARP is given below. For details, see the RARP manual.Add the following line to the Ethernet address table (usually, etc/ethers):

Activate the RARP daemon (usually rarpd -a). Reactivate the printer. The IP address is set.

Setting with BOOTPAn example of the setting by BOOTP is given below. For details, see the BOOTP manual.Add the following entry to the boot table (usually, /etc/bootptab):

arp -s host-name ethernet-address temp

arp -s PS90d6a1 192.168.1.191 temp

ping 192.168.1.191

ethernet-address host-name or IP-address

host-name:ht=hardware-type:vm=vendor-magic:\

:ha=hardware-address:ip=IP-address:\

:sm=subnet-mask:gw=gateway-field

159


Activate the BOOTP daemon (usually bootpd).The printer will not use the new configuration until the printer is restarted.

Note: The “ha” field is a network interface Ethernet address. The “ip” field is an IP address. The “gw” field and “sm” field correspond to the default router address and net mask (DEF_ROUT and NET_MASK parameters), respectively.

Setting with DHCPYour printer comes with DHCP turned off by default. To set up TCP/IP using DHCP, you must turn on DHCP using NetPilot, or by accessing one of the printer’s TCP/IP based servers through a static IP address.Whatever method you use to set up TCP/IP, you should confirm the connection by using the ping utility:

Confirm the settings by using the network test button located on the back of the printer.

Configuring the Printer Using HTTPTo use the Web browser, the TCP/IP must already be configured on the printer. To access the printer’s HTTP server, type in the network address or host name (if defined) of your printer in your browser’s location bar. There are six configuration pages that you can use to set up your printer.

ConfigurationThe Configuration page allows you to change the access settings of the printer.

ManagementThe Management page enables you to view basic information about the network interface (version of the current network interface software, Ethernet address, base URL address, and whether the network protocol is valid). The Management page also enables you to reset the network interface or to set the parameters to the factory-set default values.

ping host-name or IP-address

160


StatusThe Status page enables you to see the status of the connected printer such as the number of printed bytes.

AccountThe Account page displays past records of print jobs, including users, protocols, logical printers, file sizes, elapsed time and offline time.

PrinterThe Printer page displays the Manufacturer, Model and Command Set for the connected printer.

HelpThe Help page contains additional information about configuring the printer through the Web server.

Configuring the Printer Using TelnetThe Tally T8006 and T8306 have built-in commands that can be executed via Telnet. Using the Windows Telnet utility (C:\Windows\telnet) or Unix terminal, you can log on to the printer. When logging on to the printer’s Telnet server for the first time, use the name ‘root’ and the password ‘pass’.

telnet host-name (IP-address)

161


The usable commands are listed below. Be aware that the commands may change, as a result of control software upgrading. To ensure that you are always using the correct commands, use the printer’s built-in command display function.

softreset Restarts the protocol.

hardreset Reboots the network interface.

162


Configuring the Printer Using FTPThe network interface can be set by uploading a network configuration file to the printer via FTP.1. Using FTP, log on to the printer’s FTP interface (use root as your

name and pass as the password) 2. get the printer’s configuration file config. 3. Using a plain text editor, change the settings of the configuration file.4. FTP the printer and put config CONFIG. Ensure that the uppercase

CONFIG argument is attached to the put command or the settings will not be saved.

5. Restart the printer.

Note: If you attempt to put a config file with an incorrect format, the printer will reset the network interface.

For an explanation of the parameters, see “Sample Network Configuration File” on page 167.

Monitoring the Printer Using SNMPThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used for the remote monitoring of the network interface. SNMP is the standard network management protocol. In order to use SNMP, you must first set up the TCP/IP configuration of your printer, including protocols, database structure specifications and the data object group. The SNMP manager software performs the actual management. This manager sends inquiries or instructions for a device, or receives notification that uses a specific event in the device as a trigger. The object is contained in the database called the Management Information Base (MIB).

Configuring the SNMP ManagerThe MIB file is distributed on the T8006/T8306 CD-ROM and is downloadable from the printer through FTP.The printer’s stored MIB file is described in ASN.1 format. To upgrade the printer with a newer Tally MIB file, use FTP to replace the older file.

defaults Returns the network interface setting to the default setting.

Command Function

163


Use the following sample procedure to add MIB to the SNMP manager:1. Log in to the printer’s FTP server.2. Upload MIB file/snmp/Tally.mib to the SNMP manager.3. Insert MIB as described in the SNMP administration

software manual.The MIB file contains a menu object, a printer status and management object, and a trap object. The menu object allows you to view or change the settings of the printer’s network interface. The printer status and management object allows you to monitor functions of the printer, such as job status through the network interface. The trap object returns various error messages to the SNMP manager.For details of MIB, refer to the MIB file (Tally.mib) by using any text editor.

Using Logical PrintersLogical Printers allows your printer to automatically filter print data in various ways by simply selecting a logical printer to print to. With Logical Printers you can:

• Add character strings before and after print data.• Replace character strings in print data. • Convert data from ASCII to PostScript.

The network interface has eight logical printers that you can set by using any of the configuration methods outlined above.In the default status, logical printers 1 to 4 do not change the print data and logical printers 5 to 8 add CR control characters to LF control characters.A logical printer functions as a filter between the network and printer. For example, some PostScript drivers have no code indicating the end of the job (0x04). This problem can be solved by configuring the Logical Printers function to add this code to the end of any print jobs sent to the logical printer.

Note: If character string replacement is frequently used, the network interface throughput falls considerably.

Adding Character StringsThe character string function can send the printer a control command before and after each print job. This function can be set differently for each logical printer. Enter all character strings as hexadecimal numeric values.

164


For example, some PostScript drivers do not suffix the code (0x04), indicating the end of a job, to the print job. In this case, edit the following entry:

Replacing Character StringsReplacement of up to 20 sets of character strings can be specified for each logical printer. All character strings must be entered as hexadecimal numeric characters. The count byte must be placed before a retrieval character string and before a replacement character string. For example, edit the following parameter in the config file to replace a UNIX line feed (0x0A) with a DOS line feed (0x0D 0x0A) for logical printer 1:

This is the default setting for logical printers 5 to 8.

Conversion from ASCII to PostScriptTo set PostScript conversion, you must turn on postscript filtering in the printer configuration file and set the page size, direction, format, and the font to be used. The default size is A4 and default orientation is portrait. To change these settings, use these parameters:

PR1_AFT.:04

PRI_AFT.:04

PR1_STR. : 01 0A 02 0D 0A

01 Count byte of the retrieval character string (length of the retrieval character string)

0A Retrieval character string02 Count byte of the replacement character string (length of the

replacement character string)0D0A Replacement character string

Page Format Default Value

Meaning

Number of lines per page (LPP)

66

Number of characters per line (CPL)

0 0 = Turn of a line invalid

165


Any PostScript font loaded in the printer can be used, but if no font is specified, Courier is used.For example, to set logical printer 2 for conversion from ASCII to PostScript, the following parameters must be set in the config file:

Number of characters per inch (CPI)

10 100 = 10.0 characters per inch

Number of lines per inch (LPI)

60 60 = 6.0 lines per inch

Left margin 30 30 = 1/8 inch (3.0 mm)

Upper margin 50 50 = 1/5 inch (5.0 mm)

PR2_FILT.:POSTSCR (PostScript conversion ON)

PR2_SIZE.:LETTER (Page size = letter)

PR2_ORNT.:LANDS (Orientation = Landscape)

PR2_FORM.:48 0 120 60 30 50 (48 LPP, 0 CPL, 12 CPI, 6 LPI, left margin 3 mm, upper margin 5 mm)

PR2_FONT.:Helvetica (Font = Helvetica)
