T6100, Type Style
There are six resident type styles available on your printer. They include Gothic, Courier, Data Processing, Draft, OCR-A, and OCR-B. All type styles and the two output modes (for Draft and DP) are selectable through the printer control panel.
Tally T6100, Gothic and Courier
These two type styles provide Near Letter Quality (NLQ) printing. They print at higher dot densities and use denser character matrixes for greater readability.
Draft and Data Processing for Tally T6100
Draft and Data Processing type styles print in two modes: Constant Density Fonts (CDF) and Enhanced. Constant Density Fonts print at the same dot density regardless of the CPI. This produces consistent print speed even when changing from one CPI to another. Enhanced Mode provides higher resolution and a greater range of CPIs than CDF Mode. Because Enhanced Mode uses a variety of dot densities you should expect a change in print speed of text when switching from one CPI to another.
Tally T6100 OCR-A and OCR-B
These print at 10 CPI only, mostly for Optical Character Recognition applications.
T6100, Characters Per Inch
Your printer offers a variety of CPIs for use in printer output. Available CPIs are dictated by the Type Style selected. Each CPI is based on one of 12 character matrixes and 12 Dot Densities. Each matrix uses a specific number of dot columns for character composition and intercharacter gap. CPIs are grouped in any given type style by the base CPI matrix used for the group. Those Base CPIs are 10, 12, and 15.
Densities and Throughput for Tally T6100
Your printer supports Horizontal row plots (single and multiple row), Vertical column plots, and specialized Graphic plots. Your printer supports the following horizontal DPIs: 40, 48, 60, 80, 90, 120, 180, and 240. Scaled densities available on your printer are 50, 72, 75, 96, 100, 144, 150, 160, and 200. All other selections will be approximated by conversion to the next higher density. Your printer supports the following vertical DPIs: 48, 72, 96, 144, and 288. All other selections are emulated through the use of scaling techniques
T6100 Lines Per Inch
Ten Lines Per Inch (LPI) settings are available through the Control Panel. They include 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 LPI. In some emulations the availability of certain LPIs is restricted.
T6100 Paper Movement Speed
Your printer has a normal slew speed of 16 inches per second. When printing in Heavy Forms mode, the maximum slew speed is decreased to 12 inches per second.
Languages and Character Sets
Up to 34 Language Character Sets with up to 192 characters (some emulations have fewer character sets with 256 characters) each are available on your printer. In addition, the ANSI and DIN character sets are available for use with the OCR-A and OCR-B type styles. With the exception of ANSI and DIN, the language character sets can be printed in four different type styles: Gothic, Courier, Data Processing, and Draft. The ANSI and DIN characters can only be used with the OCR-A and OCR-B type styles and are selectable in four combinations through the Printer Control Panel.
Paper Description
The printer uses continuous, sprocket-fed type paper, 2.5 inches (64 mm) to 18 inches (457 mm) outside width and 3.0 inches (76 mm) to 12.0 inches (305 mm) in length. One- to six-part paper may be used with a maximum thickness of .025 inches (0.64 mm). (Reference specifications: ISO 2784, DIN 9771 and DIN 6721.)
