The Océ 7055/7056
The Océ 7055/7056 is a copier for large documents (e.g. architectural or
engineering drawings). The machine is easy to use and makes copies on paper,
transparent, vellum or polyester film with the quality and reliability that one
might expect from Océ. The Océ 7055/7056 has, besides a copy feed table for
manual copy material input, an automatic copy material input mechanism. The
Océ 7055 has only one copy material roll for automatic input whereas the Océ
7056 has two rolls.

Introduction 7
The operating panel
Stand-by mode
The operating panel (see the illustration on inside back cover) on the Océ
7055/7056 is easy to use and specially designed to carry out copy jobs. After
switching on, (see page 9), the machine is always ready for operation: the
display shows blinking LEDs. In this state, the operating panel is in stand-by
mode. The operating panel activates in the following situations:
■you feed an original
■you feed a copy material
■a button on the operating panel is pressed
■a roll unit is opened.
Note: If you do not work with the operating panel for more than 2 minutes, it
returnsautomaticallytostand-bymode.TheOcé7055/7056,however,remains

Pressing the button toggles between film and paper. You only have to use this
button if you have selected manual feed. When using automatic feed, the copy
material should be configured as a new roll is inserted.
Note: Only use paper as is specified in ‘(see ‘Copy material that can be used’
onpage 50).Avoidstoringpaperinroomswheretemperatureandhumidityare
high (see ‘Roomtemperature (T) and Relative Humidity (RH)’ on page 48).
Also, avoid dust and direct sunlight. Wrap unused paper in plastic to prevent
it absorbing moisture.

Trailing edge and leading edge
Assume that you are working in automatic feed mode and your original has a
filing strip. If you don’t want the filing strip to show on the copy, it is possible
to create an edge. Make sure that the filing strip is at the trailing edge of the
originalseefigure8. The adjustment stepsareindicatedonthe operatingpanel,
