The Océ TCS400 multifunctional color system
Introduction
The Océ TCS400 is a modular wide-format color system.
The Océ TCS400 offers a wide range of print, copy, and scan-to-file
functionality. The Océ TCS400 uses the CMYK color model. The printer
contains printheads for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) and is based
on thermal inkjet technology.
The Océ TCS400 consists of the following modules:
■The printer
■The scanner
■The Océ Power Logic®Controller.
The modular construction of the Océ TCS400 allows you to create a
customized configuration. The Océ Power Logic®Controller is required for all
configurations.
The Océ TCS400 main components
When you have a configuration without a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse
directly connected to the controller, you can place the Océ Power Logic®
controller inside the controller cabinet of the printer.
When you have a configuration with a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse
directly connected to the controller, you cannot place the Océ Power Logic®
controller inside the controller cabinet of the printer.
You can always place the Océ Power Logic®controller inside a separate
controller cabinet.
