As price/performance leaders, the T6215 and T6218 cost less to buy, less to service and less to use while setting new milestones in connectivity and functionality. The patented Smart Ribbon 250 offers clean-hands ribbon cartridge convenience while delivering new ribbon quality over its entire 250 million character life-the longest life in the industry. With the widest range of printer emulations, impressive network printer management, popular graphics languages and top-notch web administration utilities, the T6215 and T6218 can take on the challenge of line printers in any class, and win.

Tally T6212 T6215 T6218 Line Matrix

NEW: Full Error control to impact printers from AS/400 over TCP/IP Ethernet

The T6212, T6215 and T6218 Line matrix printers are ground-breaking solutions for high-volume, mission-critical impact printing. Tally combines cutting-edge innovation with time-tested technology to make the T6212, T6215 and T6218 superior in speed, reliability, and quality. At 1200, 1500 and 1800 lines per minute (LPM) respectively, they actually outperform line printers rated at higher speeds when printing in "real world" applications. Outstanding throughput is made possible by technological advancements to the hammer bank and paper feed system.

Technical Features & Benefits
Hammer Bank Benefits
Stored energy technology using robust hammer spring Offers inherent high reliability Generates high energy for multi-part forms Provides uniform dot density New, high-efficiency coil uses 40% less power, returns flyback energy to power supply Produces less heat Yields higher reliability Hammer drivers mounted on hammer bank to greatly reduce cabling needs Higher reliability Improved diagnostic capability Modular hammers and coils are easily replaced in the field Reduces downtime Lowers service costs
Forms Handling Benefits

Four-tractor system Allows high slew speeds Accurate forms tensioning Forms reversal capability Steel tractor pins in upper tractors for reduced wear, longer life Straight-through paper path Excellent forms handling High-speed, high-torque paper drive Greater throughput Accurate handling of heavy forms Hinged, self-closing upper paper guide Easy forms loading Independent forms thickness and forms loading settings Correct platen position is remembered when loading new box of forms Constant platen gap location Reduces possibility of smudging Infinitely variable forms thickness adjustment Permits optimum forms thickness setting
Smart Ribbon System Benefits
Provides a constant supply of ink to the print mechanism Exhibits a uniformly high contrast over the ribbon's life. Other ribbons fade rapidly and in proportion to use Intelligent Ribbon Software (IRS) examines data stream en route to the print mechanism Permits real-time control of ribbon to precisely match ink supply to ink demand Ribbon fault detection Ensures that ribbon is correctly installed and free of jams Weld detection for reinking ribbons prevents printing on ribbon weld Eliminates possibility of poor print quality as a result of printing directly on the fabric weld Increases life of the ribbon Uses independently controlled motors for ribbon drive and peristaltic pump Allows optimization of print contrast for every text and graphics application Yields very high ribbon life Supports unattended operation Less operator intervention Kinder to the environment

To measure the speed performance of impact printers objectively, the European Community Manufacturer's Association (ECMA) adopted standards for testing print speed, and ECMA is the internationally accepted benchmark test. We expected the T6212, T6215 and T6218 to be fast, but the results of standardized ECMA testing exceeded all expectation. The chart below depicts the throughput (pages per hour) of the standard ECMA tests.
