The Océ TDS400 concept and components
The Océ TDS400 printer
The Océ TDS400 printer is available with an automatic 1- or 2-roll unit and
manual feed.Use manual feed when you want to print a job on a media type
and/or size that is not available on one of the paper rolls.
Note: The manual feed is a special slot just above the paper drawers on the
engine. You can insert cut sheet material in this slot, one sheet at a time.Refer
to ‘Copy on pre-cut sheets’ on page 57 on how to copy on pre-cut sheets.
Note: Only use material as specified in ‘List of available material types and
sizes’ on page 180.
The Océ TDS400 is a 600 DPI LED printer with a speed of 3 meters per
minute.
You can perform a number of activities at the Océ TDS400 printer. You can set
the media type and size, stop a print job or select your preferred language from
the printer operator panel (see chapter 2, ‘Use the Océ TDS400 to print’ on
page 21 for more details).
The Océ TDS400 is delivered with drivers and job submission software to
enable you to print from AutoCad®, Windows® or Macintosh® applications.
The Océ TDS400 scanner
The Océ TDS400 scanner supports a wide range of copy activities. It provides
a large number of functions for defining original and copy related settings. You
can specify particular media, feeding and quality enhancement options from
the scanner operator panel. In combination with the Océ TDS400 printer it
forms a powerful productivity tool.
The scanner scans your originals. You can print the originals (copy job) or you
can store the scanned original in a file (Océ Scan Logic®). The scanner has
different quality modes which are provided by Océ Image Logic®.

■Green button principle
The Océ TDS400 is easy to use. Press the green button on the scanner operator
panel to start the basic copy jobs. If you have difficult copy jobs, you change
the default copy settings with the help of the other settings on the scanner
operator panel.
The Océ Power Logic® controller
The Océ TDS400 is equipped with a controller to process the print jobs and the
copy jobs. The controller can have Océ Remote Logic® to control your print
jobs, make your default printer settings and monitor the printer status.
The Océ Power Logic® controller processes the print jobs and the copy jobs. It

■Set processing
When you send a file to the printer, the file is processed once and can be printed
many times. The Océ TDS400 has a set memory to store a maximum of 135
A0s which allows you to create the same sets that are sorted either by page or
by set.
■Spool memory
The Océ TDS400 has a spool memory which provides a queuing system for
files you want to print. The spool memory allows many users to send the print
jobs to the Océ TDS400 at the same time. The print jobs are put in the print
queue where they wait to be printed. The job that is put first into the queue is
printed first.
■Network connectivity
The Océ TDS400 controls a number of common network protocols. The Océ
TDS400 can be used in may networks like TCP/IP, NetBEUI® and Novell® .

functionality for this purpose.

Introduction 17
Océ TDS400 users
The Océ TDS400 has the following user types:
System administrator The Océ TDS400 system administrator installs and
makes the configuration for Océ TDS400. The system administrator defines
the printer-language settings, pen settings and Automatic Language Sensing
(ALS) settings. The system administrator can help the users who need to install
the printer drivers on their workstations. See chapter 10, ‘Océ Power Logic®:
Account Logging’ on page 137 for complete information. The configuration
information is in the Océ TDS400 Connectivity Manual provided with the Océ
TDS400.
Key operator The Océ TDS400 key operator is responsible for the daily
maintenance of the Océ TDS400. The key operator replenishes toner when
necessary, loads media as needed and defines the default printer settings for
recurring print jobs. Also, the key operator defines all time settings, such as
panel time out and sleep mode time out. See ‘Océ Print Exec® LT Web’ on
page 133 for more information.
Repro operator The repro operator is responsible for the daily operations on
the Océ TDS400. The Repro Operator settings are a subset of the Key Operator
settings. The Repro Operator has no rights to change settings in the Settings Editor.
In the Queue Manager and the System Control Panel the repro operator has the
same user rights as the Key Operator and System Administrator.
Anonymous user Typically, an anonymous user on the Océ TDS400 can be
either a PC user who has remote access to the system through one or more
drivers (Windows®driver, AutoCAD®ADI/HDI or PostScript®) or the remote
applications (Océ Queue Manager, Océ System Control Panel and Océ
Settings Editor), or the print submission/print management applications, or a
user performing a copy job at the scanner.
Service operator The Océ TDS400 service operator is responsible for
installation and maintenance of the Océ TDS400.
User interaction
You can operate the Océ TDS400 from different locations: local and remote:

18 Océ TDS400 Digital Multifunctional System User Manual
■Operator panels
The Océ TDS400 has two operator panels to make the settings for the print
jobs and the copy jobs. See ‘Printer operator panel’ on page 22 and ‘Scanner
operator panel’ on page 44 for complete information.
■Océ Remote Logic®
Use the remote logic to make the default key operator and system
administrator settings (Settings Editor). To see the status of the jobs in the
print queue you use the Queue Manager. The ‘System Control Panel’ shows
the status of the complete system.
■Océ Scan Logic®
With ‘Scan Manager’ and ‘Océ View Station (LT) you can define all
important settings for scanning.
■Printer drivers
With the Océ TDS400 one or more printer drivers can be used, including
Print Exec® LT Web, Windows® driver, AutoCad® ADI/HDI and
PostScript®. With these drivers PC users can access the Océ TDS400
remotely, from their applications, to print their files. More information about
installing, configuring and use of the drivers can be found in the
documentation provided with the drivers. All Océ drivers (except Postscript)
can be freely downloaded from the Web at www.oce.com.
■Use a Remote Control Format (RCF) file or an Océ Job Ticket (OJT) to give
instruction to the Océ TDS400 how to manage a remote print job. You can
make the special settings on an operator panel, or with the user interface (UI)
on a workstation or PC. The RCF file or the job ticket describe the input sets,
the output sets and the processing to form the outputs. See the ‘Remote
Control Format Reference Manual’ and the ‘Océ Job Ticket Reference
Manual’ for complete information about Remote Control Format (RCF) files
or Océ Job Ticket (OJT).

Introduction 19
The data flow to the Océ TDS400
Connect the Océ TDS400 to a host environment, which can be a stand alone
PC/Workstation or a PC/Workstation connected to a network. It accepts
different standard format vector and raster data files from the host environment
and converts these into high quality prints ((see figure 3)).
[3] Data flow to the Océ TDS400
When an Océ TDS400 receives vector, raster, Adobe® PostScript® or PDF
(optional, Adobe® PostScript® 3™)data it will generate a print with the
settings as specified in the Settings Editor.
Each print job has remote control commands to indicate the settings for a job.
This so called header contains the job and the file defined settings in Océ Job
Ticket (OJT). The OJT settings overwrite the settings defined in the Settings
Editor. Except for pen settings and job management which have priority over
the Océ Job Ticket settings.

RCF-commands. Please refer to the Windows® / Autocad® Driver
documentation.
■Use the Océ Job submission software like Océ Print Exec® LT Web in order
to compose jobs of plottable files in a very flexible and user friendly way (see
chapter 5, ‘Océ Power Logic®: The Settings Editor’ on page 89).
