The Océ 9600
The Océ 9600 is a wide-format, black-and-white, electrophotographic, mid- to
high-volume copier/printer/scanner. The machine is available in a number of
printer configurations, ranging from two rolls in a single drawer (the minimum
configuration) to a maximum of six rolls (with one cassette tray) and three
cassette trays (with four rolls).
The Océ 9600 is a versatile, highly productive system which offers you a broad
range of functions. See ‘Product specifications Océ 9600’ on page 281 for
more information.
[1] Océ 9600

Introduction 13
Océ 9600 key concepts
Printer configuration The Océ 9600 is available in a number of printer
configurations, ranging from two rolls in a single drawer (the minimum
configuration) to a maximum of six rolls with one cassette tray and four rolls
with three cassette trays. Also, a number of optional features are available,
including a folder, a horizontal delivery tray, a roll loader and a paper switch
for supporting customer finishing units.
Copy functionality With the Océ 9600 scanner, a large number of copy
activities can be performed. A wide variety of original and copy related
settings are supported. Users can specify particular layout, media, finishing,
feeding and quality enhancement options from the scanner operating panel.
See ‘Product specifications Océ 9600’ on page 281 for more information.
Scan to file The Océ 9600 offers full hybrid performance with its optional
scan-to-file function. Documents are scanned and then digitally stored. Ten
customizable destinations are supported.
Network connectivity The Océ 9600 supports a number of popular network
protocols. This means that it can be used in multiple networking environments
such as TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and Novell Pserver (IPX/SPX).
Set processing The Océ 9600 supports set processing. This means that when
you send a file to the printer, it is processed once and can be printed many times
(as required). The Océ 9600 is equipped with a set memory for storing up to
250 A0s, which allows for the creation of identical sets that are sorted either
by page or by set.
Print/copy job A print/copy job is a job sent to the Océ 9600 Printer from a
user application (print job) or from the scanner (copy job). A print/copy job
may consist of several sets, which in turn may consist of several pages. Sorting
of a print/copy job may take place based on sets or on pages.
Spool memory The Océ 9600 contains a spool memory which provides a
queuing system for files you want to print. The spool memory allows multiple
users to send print jobs to the Océ 9600 simultaneously. The print jobs are then
placed in the print queue where they wait to be printed. The first job put into
the queue is the first to be printed.

14 Océ 9600 Copier/Printer User Manual
Job recovery The Océ 9600 is equipped with a job recovery function that
safeguards users against data loss in case of a printer failure. After a restart, the
data submitted to the printer before the crash will be automatically processed
and printed. This means that jobs do not have to be resubmitted after a printer
malfunction, thus saving valuable time for the users.
Green button principle The Océ 9600 is a very user-friendly system. The
scanner, in particular, is very easy to operate. Basic copy jobs can be performed
by simply pressing the green start button on the scanner operating panel. If you
want to perform more complex copy jobs, you have to change the default copy
settings with the help of the other settings on the scanner operating panel.
User interaction The user can communicate with the Océ 9600 from different
locations, both locally (printer and scanner operating panels, controller
applications) and remotely (drivers on user workstations, Remote Control
Format (RCF) files or Océ Job Tickets (OJT) and remote applications):
■Operating panels
The Océ 9600 consists of two operating panels for making a wide variety of
settings for printing and copying. See ‘Printer operating panel’ on page 26
and ‘Scanner operating panel’ on page 40 for more information.
■Controller applications
The Océ 9600 controller applications are used for making default key
operator and system administrator settings (Settings Editor). For viewing the
status of the jobs in the print queue, use the Queue Manager. The ‘System
Control Panel’ shows the status of the entire system. With ‘Scan Manager,’
you can define all relevant settings for scan to file. See ‘Océ 9600 controller’
on page 19 for more information.
■Printer drivers
With the Océ 9600, a number of printer drivers can be used, including Plot
Director, Windows driver, AutoCAD ADI/HDI and PostScript. With these
drivers, PC users can access the Océ 9600 remotely, from their applications
to print their files. More information about installing, configuring and using
drivers can be found in the documentation provided with the drivers. All Océ
drivers (except Postscript) can be freely downloaded from the Internet at
www.oce.com.

Introduction 15
■A Remote Control Format (RCF) file or Océ Job Ticket (OJT) can be used to
instruct the Océ 9600 on how to handle a remote print job. The specific
settings can be made by a user on a control panel, or by means of the user
interface (UI) on a workstation or PC. The RCF file/job ticket specifies the
sets of inputs, the sets of outputs and the processing that is needed to form
the outputs. See the ‘Remote Control Format Reference Manual’ and the
‘Océ Job Ticket Reference Manual’ for more information about Remote
Control Format (RCF) files or Océ Job Tickets (OJT).

16 Océ 9600 Copier/Printer User Manual
Océ 9600 users
On the Océ 9600, the following user types can be identified:
System administrator The Océ 9600 system administrator is responsible for
