Windows and Microsoft Office Printing TechNotes

Many TallyGenicom TechNotes, FAQs, and TIRs contain items concerning HOST related: hardware, applications, operating system features and functions, etc.

These items are intended for users who have a core competency is using and configuring the particular Host that is being addressed. For example, configuring devices on an AS/400 requires the user to have System Operator skills and authority.

The TallyGenicom support staff can assist qualified users in implementing these items, but can not provide Host skills training.
