After Setting up the Printer

1
Before you can print on the TallyGenicom 8124 you need to configure your computer. When
the printer is used as a local printer, install the printer driver onto the computer connected to
the printer. If it is to be used as a network printer it is normal to first install the printer driver
on the computer connected to the printer and then share it to other computers. In several
places throughout this chapter it is necessary to load the TallyGenicom 8124 CD-ROM into
the drive. It is recommended that all other applications are closed down before inserting the
CD-ROM. The CD will auto start and give you choose of installing PCL or Adobe Post Script
drivers. To install PCL drivers follow the procedures below, for PS driver installation see the
"Installing the Adobe PS Printer Driver (Windows 95/98/Me)" section of this manual.

The PCL Printer Drivers

A printer driver is software that converts print data or instructions from the computer to data
interpreted by the printer.
The drivers for the Windows operating systems (OS) are available for the printer.
The printer drivers are stored on the TallyGenicom 8124 auto-run CD. If the CD does not
either auto run or you wish to manually install the drivers you can add the printer drivers and
utilities by searching for the relevant files on the CD.
