Wireless Guidance  
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication  
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer  
system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating  
a wireless device.  
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the  
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your  
system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval  
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device  
in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.  
Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.  
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your  
printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the  
wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is  
allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer  
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should  
be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.  
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device  
and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include  
xi  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from  
the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.  
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other  
antenna or transmitter.  
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common  
restrictions are listed below:  
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment  
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless  
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also  
known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are  
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.  
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or  
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless  
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen  
or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of  
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments  
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the  
applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the  
wireless device.  
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.  
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling  
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval  
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a  
wireless device in the destination country.  
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless  
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields  
are in place and the system is fully assembled.  
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any  
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use  
it. Please contact manufacturer for service.  
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be  
used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact  
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.  
WARNING  
Do not disassemble the printer. Doing so may give you an electric shock.  
If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output tray may become  
hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, especially for children.

Choosing Paper and Other Materials  
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,  
envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper  
Specifications” on page F.3. To get the best possible print  
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.  
When you choose print materials, consider the following:  
Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be  
appropriate for the project.  
Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the  
paper adjusters of the paper tray.  
Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:  
-16~28 lbs (60~105 g/m2) bond for the Tray1 or  
optional Tray2  
-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m2) bond for the Multi-Purpose Tray  
Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and  
produce sharper, more vibrant images.  
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects  
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.  
CAUTION: Using a material that does not conform to the  
specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems  
that may require service. This service is not covered by the  
warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials  
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special  
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:  
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper  
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.  
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.  
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print  
quality.  
• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has  
been fed through a photocopier.  
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.  
• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never  
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.  
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture  
that is too smooth or too rough.  
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white  
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s  
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without  
deterioration. Do not use paper with a coloured coating that  
was added after the paper was produced.  
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-  
resistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous  
emissions when subject to the printer’s approximately 400°F  
(205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.  
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place  
cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.  
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is  
packaged or unpackaged.  
• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other  
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Selecting the Output Location  
The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray and  
the top output tray.  
Top output tray  
Rear output tray  
4
To use the top output tray, be sure that the rear output tray is  
closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.  
NOTES:  
• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as  
excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray.  
To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray  
while the printer is printing.  
Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down)  
The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order.  
The top output tray should be used for most print jobs.  
NOTE: If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the  
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface,  
especially for children.  
USING PRINT MATERIALS 4.5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up)  
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open.  
Paper comes out of the printer face-up, with the last page on  
top.  
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear output tray  
provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray  
might improve output quality with the following:  
• over 100 sheets of paper continuously  
• envelopes  
• labels  
• small custom-size paper  
• postcards  
• paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/m2  
(28 lb)  
• transparencies: some special transparencies may have  
stacking problem by curl. In that case, please use the top  
output tray (face down).  
To open the rear output tray:  
1
Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions  
as the output tray.  
CAUTION: The fusing area at the rear portion of the inside of  
your printer is hot when powered. Be careful not to be burned  
when accessing this area.

Pull the extender to extend the output tray to its full-length  
position to hold longer paper.  
If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear  
output tray, slide the extender to its place and close the  
tray. The pages will stack on the top output tray.  
4
NOTE: The rear output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. If  
the tray is overloaded with printed pages, it may fall from the  
printer. Remove the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.  
Loading Paper  
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure  
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job  
is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and  
Capacities” on page 4.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities  
for each tray.  
The paper level bar on the front of the paper tray(s) shows the  
amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is  
empty, the indicator of the bar is lowered.

Printing on Preprinted Paper  
Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed  
on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a  
preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).  
Guidelines  
• Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will  
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when  
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400 °F  
(205 °C) for 0.1 second.  
• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not  
adversely affect any printer rollers.  
• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof  
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.  
4
• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads,  
verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing  
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

Using Overlays  
What is an Overlay?  
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard  
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on  
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of  
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using  
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the  
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To  
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need  
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only  
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge  
Toner cartridge storage  
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the  
following guidelines in mind:  
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until  
ready for use.  
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does  
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.  
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the  
printer.  
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  
light for more than a few minute.  
Toner cartridge life expectancy  
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner  
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a  
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 10,000 pages. (The  
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an  
average of 5,000 pages.)  
6
Saving toner  
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer  
control panel. The button backlight will be lit. You can also  
enable Toner Save mode in the printer properties or from the  
Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner cartridge  
and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce the print  
quality.

Cleaning the Printer  
To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures  
below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality  
problems occur.  
NOTES:  
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents, such as  
thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer.  
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch  
the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). Oil  
from your fingers can cause print quality problems.  
CAUTIONS: Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants  
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong  
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet .  
Cleaning the Outside  
Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth, You  
can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to  
be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.  
6
Cleaning the Inside  
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can  
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print  
quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning  
the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.  
Cleaning inside the printer

Printing a cleaning sheet  
If you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts, you  
can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by  
your printer. You can print:  
• OPC Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner  
cartridge.

While your printer is primarily a Windows printer, you can  
also print from a DOS software Programme using the  
Remote Control Panel utility provided in the supplied  
software CD-ROM.  
This chapter includes:

About the Remote Control Panel  
DOS users have access to many printer features through specific  
DOS printer drivers; however, many software manufactures do  
not develop printer drivers for their software programmes. Your  
printer provides the software control panel for improved printer  
control when DOS printer drivers are not available or when  
certain print settings are not available through DOS software  
programmes.  
NOTE: The printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver.  
It should be used to set print settings that are not available  
through DOS software programmes. Printer drivers are supplied by  
the manufacturers of your DOS software programmes. If your DOS  
software Programme does not include a printer driver for your  
printer, contact the manufacturer of the software or use one of the  
alternate printer drivers.  
Installing the Remote Control Panel

About Sharing the Printer on a  
Network  
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your  
printer to the network.  
Locally-Shared Printer  
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,  
which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer  
can then be shared by other users on the network through a  
Windows 9x/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000 network printer connection.  
Network-connected Printer  
TallyGenicom 9025N printer have the built-in network interface.  
For more information about connecting your printer to the  
network, see page 2.12.  
To use a TallyGenicom 9025 printer as a network printer, you  
need to install an optional network interface card in your printer.  
For a TallyGenicom 9025N printer, you can replace the network  
interface card to one supporting the wireless LAN interface. See  
Printing Across a Network  
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,  
you need to install the TallyGenicom 9025 printer software on  
each computer that will print documents to the printer.

“AUTO”. However, you can manually set the frame type format,  
if required.  
AUTO (default): Automatically senses and limits the frame  
type to the first one detected.  
EN_8023: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3  
frames. All others will be counted and discarded.  
EN_II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames.  
All others will be counted and discarded.  
EN_8022: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with  
IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be counted and discarded.  
EN_SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE  
802.3 frames. All others will be counted and discarded.  
Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled in theNetware  
menu before you can configure frame types. See “Setting

Operation Mode: “Ad-hoc” mode allows the wireless devices  
to communicate directly with each other. This is the default  
operating mode for the print server.  
If your network uses an Access Point, you must reconfigure  
the operation mode to “Infra. Infra” mode allows both  
wireless and cabled computers to send files to the printer  
through an Access Point.  
If you select “Auto, the print server selects the operation  
mode automatically according to the network cable’s  
connection each time it boots up. If the network cable is  
detected, the print server enters “Ad-hoc” mode; if not, enters  
“InfraStructure” mode.  
Channel: This option is available in the “Ad-hoc” mode only.  
In most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The  
print server will scan all available channels for the specified  
network and will adapt its channel to the one detected.  
Default setting is 10.  
Authentication: “Open System” or “Shared Key. The  
TallyGenicom print server is not configured for network  
authentication (Open System). If required by your network,  
the proper authentication method must be configured on the

Paper Specifications  
Overview  
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-  
sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content  
paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size  
paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and  
moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer’s  
performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet  
the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the  
following problems:  
• Poor print quality  
• Increased paper jams  
• Premature wear on the printer.  
NOTES:  
• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and still  
not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of  
improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity  
levels, or other variables over which TallyGenicom has no  
control.  
• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure that the  
paper meets the requirements specified in this User’s Guide.  
CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications  
may cause problems, requiring repairs. These repairs are not  
covered by the TallyGenicom warranty or service agreements.

NOTES:  
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks,  
such as those used in some types of thermography.  
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.  
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper.  
Insure that any coloured paper or preprinted forms use inks that  
are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F  
for 0.1 second).

Printer and Paper Storage Environment  
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed  
operation.  
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at  
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember  
that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.  
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the  
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense  
on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove  
most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used,  
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid  
weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in  
a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess  
moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses  
and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause  
paper jams.  
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be  
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long  
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can  
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to  
large supplies of paper.  
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several  
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more  
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not  
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.  
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained  
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition  
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to  
55%. The following guidelines should be considered when  
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:  
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.  
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.  
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it  
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer  
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount  
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent  
unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes  
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary  
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a  
box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on  
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When  
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:  
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed  
90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.  
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with  
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.  
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or  
otherwise damaged.  
Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible  
with the heat and pressure of the printer.  
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size  
ranges.  
Minimum  
Maximum  
Multi-Purpose  
Tray  
76 X 127 mm  
(3 X 5 in.)  
216 X 356 mm  
(8.5 X 14 in.)  
NOTES:  
• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.  
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media  
with a length less than 127 mm (5.0 in.). This may be caused by  
paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For  
optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling  
the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage  
F.8  
SPECIFICATIONS

Envelopes with Double Side Seams  
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends  
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be  
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to  
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.  
Correct  
Incorrect  
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps  
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one  
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with  
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips  
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even  
damage the fuser.  
Envelope Margins  
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial  
#10 or DL envelope.  
Type of Address  
Return address  
Minimum  
15 mm (0.6 in.)  
51 mm (2 in.)  
Maximum  
51 mm (2 in.)  
89 mm (3.5 in.)  
Delivery address  
NOTES:  
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm  
(0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.  
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.  
Envelope Storage  
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.  
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,  
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during

Labels  
CAUTIONS:  
To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for  
laser printers.  
To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray to  
print labels and always use the rear output tray.  
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and  
never print on a partial sheet of labels.  
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:  
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 °C  
(392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.  
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing  
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces  
between the labels, causing serious jams.  
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than  
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.  
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other  
indications of separation.  
Transparencies  
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand  
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.  
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies  
recommended for use in laser printers.
