Introduction
This manual is a supplement to the T6215 Maintenance Manual, Tally part number 083644. The
purpose of this manual is to support the T6218 model, a new entry in the T6215 family of
printers. Any differences between the T6215 and the T6218 are documented herein.
There are chapters in this manual that address the differences in the respective chapter of the
T6215 Maintenance Manual. These chapters are:
Supplement to Chapter 1: Technical Overview
Supplement to Chapter 2: Menu Operations
Supplement to Chapter 3: Faults and Troubleshooting
Supplement to Chapter 4: Removing and Replacing Components
At the end of this manual are a number of engineering drawings. When printing this manual, the
best results are obtained by printing the text sections on Letter (8 ½” x 11”) size paper and the
drawings on Tabloid (11” x 17”) size paper. The drawings are also best viewed when printed on
printers with 600 DPI resolution or better.
New Features
Performance
Print Speeds
The table below lists maximum attainable print speeds in LPM (lines per minute) for selected
CPI’s at 6 LPI. All number pairs indicate uppercase / lowercase.
Plot Speeds
The table below lists maximum attainable plot speeds in inches per minute for continuous
unmixed full-spaced plot data. Half-spaced plot data may plot faster. Note that plot densities,
which are approximated, plot at the speed of the next higher exact density.
Density Speed (IPM)
60 x 48 225
60 x 72 150
120 x 72 75
240 x 288 9.3
Most plot data will plot at the speeds shown in the table above. Certain factors can slow down
the effective plot speed:
• Plots using a high percentage of the available dot positions across successive dot rows.
This puts a large current load on the power supply, which can lead to decreased power
supply output voltage and result in poorly printed or missing dots. The plot rate is
slowed momentarily to maintain proper output voltage.
• Thermal protect algorithm can slow plot rates.
• Complicated graphics patterns. These require extra processing which may slow the plot
rate.
Specifications
The printers are available in a Floor standing cabinet configuration with an optional Quick Forms
Access cover assembly.

Thermal Shock 16°C (29°F) per minute
The printer must be allowed to reach room temperature before operating. Three hours out of the
shipping container is usually enough time for stabilization.

Space Requirements
Adequate space must be provided to permit the operator access to the operator panel, and to the
forms input/output at the front and rear of the printer.
Service Life
The T6218 printer has an indefinite service life when the printer is installed, operated and
maintained in accord with the printer specifications and procedures. Useful service life is defined
as the operable life of the printer before a major overhaul (costing more than 50% of the
replacement cost or original cost, whichever is greater) is required to return the printer to full and
reliable operation.
Reliability
The T6218 is designed for long-term operation with minimum maintenance in a typical office
environment.
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
The average random failure rate of the printer is greater than 5000 hours when printing at the
following duty cycle: rotating ASCII character pattern in draft mode at 10 CPI with a 40%
character density and a 50% print to power on ratio. The MTBF is measured by Ongoing
Reliability Testing (ORT) data.
Safety Features
Tally stresses personal safety in both operating and maintenance related aspects. Hazard areas
have restricted access with applicable warning labels. Catastrophic failures are inhibited with
protective functions in major areas of overload potential. Some specifics:
• Moving parts and areas of electrical shock hazard are covered to guard against
inadvertent or accidental operator contact.
• The flexible fault handling system disables printing functions when normal operation
cannot continue, or when continued operation could harm the printer.
• The power supply input is fused to protect against short-circuit and overload.
Maintainability
MTTR
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is predicted to be less than 30 minutes when repaired by a
properly trained technician utilizing replacement assemblies as recommended by Tally.
Preventive Maintenance
The printers have been designed to eliminate the requirement of scheduled maintenance such as
alignment adjustments and lubrication. It is recommended that occasionally the accumulated
paper dust be vacuumed out of operator accessible areas of the printer.
Agency Approvals
The T6200 series is designed to meet the requirements of the following industry and government
agency standards.

Acoustic
These printers have been tested according to the procedure defined by ISO #7779:1988(E) and
ISO 9296:1988(E). The acoustic noise level is established by measuring maximum sound
pressure levels at maximum print speed. The method of testing used is average sound pressure
level.
Marking
The printers comply with the CE mark requirements, per the European norms.
Explanation:
A high resistance coil fault has likely occurred in one or more of the
hammer coils.
Note: This fault message will have been preceded by printing slow-down
attempts associated with On-The-Fly thermal monitoring of hammer
bank temperature.
Corrective Action:
Check the hammer bank for defective hammer coils.
Confirm that hammer drive board is functioning properly.
Note: Steps 1 through 6 are the same as in the T6215 Manual. Subsequent steps are
modified due to the addition of a fourth linear bearing for the T6218 Hammer
Bank.
Step 7: Remove four KEPS nuts underneath the Hammer Bank – one set of two
from the left side and the other from the right.
Step 8: Slide the upper left tractor as far to the left as it will go. Lift the
hammer bank and shuttle assembly out of the printer, being careful not
to damage the ribbon shield.
Note: As the hammer bank is removed, notice the “wedge” under the lower
left linear bearing. Do not lose this piece.
Wedge
Note: When reinstalling the Hammer Bank, install and tighten the retainer
clips removed in Step 4 before installing and tightening the RIGHT
KEPS nuts. Leave the lower left KEPS nuts off temporarily.
Step 9: After the retainer clips and lower right hex KEPS nuts are installed and
tightened, the tension on the lower left linear bearing must be set. This
is done by GENTLY sliding the “wedge” under the lower left linear
bearing until it’s just finger-pressure snug.
Step 3: Remove the two cable clamps and unplug the hammer bank cables at
the hammer bank.

Clamps
Step 4: Remove four (4) screws that mount the Distribution PCA to the surge
capacitors.
Left Tractor -
Moved for access
Step 3: Unplug the Power Supply cable and the Hammer Bank cable from the
Power Distribution PCA.
Step 4: Lift the Print Mechanism, placing the Strut in the top and bottom
detents to hold the Print Mechanism in a tilted position.
Step 6: Remove the two screws (#6 Phillips) that attach the circuit board to the
side frame and lift the board clear.
