How to change Tally T2240/24 Matrix Printer character and line spacing
This sounds like an Microsoft Excel issue. The Windows printer driver controls how printing is done regardless of your printer settings.
Excel controls the format of your page with column widths and line height. Depending on your version of Excel, after selecting your print range and your margins, you will need to go to Page Setup and select "Fit to" -- select 1 page wide and a larger number of pages tall.
Need serial interface for this printer
The option of serial printing is not available in t 2240 printer . One thing you can do is to use serial to parallel converter through your PC/LAPTOP to printer. If you are using PC you can add a pci serial/parallel card also. For laptop there are usb to parallel converters available in the market. try the following link for it . http://www.directron.com/cables---adapters-printer-cables---adapters.html
The printer feeds to much papper
The first thing you need to do is to check the paper size selected in the application you are printing. If you are printing from a Windows based application you WILL find that the paper size selected in the application you are printing from is set to A4.On the printer you can set the paper size in the following way;
- Power the printer ON holding down the SETUP button to unlock the menu, release SETUP when the printer finishes initializing
- Put the printer OFFLINE press SETUP
- Press the button under MENU
- Press the button under NEXT until you see FORMLEN (if you do not see FORMLEN select the PAPER option it may be a sub menu for PAPER)
- Press the button under TRACTOR 1
- Press the button under LINES
- Use button 2 to reduce the number of lined to 18 (3 inch x 6 lines per inch)
- Press the button under SET to save the setting
I am assuming the form length is 3 inches, if it is 1.25 inches this may be outside the specification for the printer and you may not be able to select this it is also not dividable by 6 lines per inch
Our printer is flashing Tractor1
The "Tractor 1 Tear" message is not a error as such, this is an information message showing the printer is set to the front tractor feed (tractor 1) if you press the button directly under "Tear" the printer should move the paper to the tear
possition.
If the
pritner is not printing I would
recomend checking the following;
- Ensure the printer is set to "ONLINE" press the button you should see ONLINE TRACTOR 1 TEAR on the display
- Ensure the printer is loaded with paper, press the button under "Tear" the printer should move the paper forward if it is loaded into Tractor 1.
- If you are not using Tractor 1, ensure you select the paper path you are using within the menu and move the paper selection lever.
- Observer the LCD display for any errors that may be seen when print jobs are sent.
- Try printing a menu print on the printer this will identify if the printer will print, the menu can be printed in the following way.
-Power the printer ON holding down the button, keep the setup button held down whilst the printer initializes.
-When the printer has finished initializing ensure the printer is OFFLINE
-Press and release the button to enter the MENU
-Press the button under "MENU" on the LCD display
-Press the button under "PRINT" on the LCD display
The printer should print a menu settings page, if this prints OK the most likely causes for the problem are;
- The computer system is not sending jobs to the printer (check the correct printer is selected on the computer system)
- Connectivity problem (check cabling, IP Addresses etc)
- The wrong printer driver is being used
How to change paper to eject at front
The 2240/24 is designed to eject paper from the rear of the printer. I think the best option should you require 'front' ejection from the printer would be to place the printer 'back to front' on the desk.
This will allow the paper to feed in the back of the printer and eject from the front.
Tally 2240/9 printer returns to contiunous after I
This is a common problem with the tally printer line in that model. You have to go into the configuration and set the Single sheet as the default paper style. When you make this selection from the selection menu it will go back to default after a period of time or anytime there is a jam or power off condition to include power saver. Check the user manual for the configuration access to the default settings and set single sheet feed as the default. That will solve the problem.
