Tally T8006 User Manual - Using Logical Printers

Tally T8006/T8306 Color Laser Printer User Guide

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 Printers

Logical 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 Strings

The 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.
