The Océ TDS300 concept and components
The Océ TDS300 printer
The Océ TDS300 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 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
printer. You can insert cut sheet material in this slot, one sheet at a time.Refer
to ‘Copy on pre-cut sheets’ on page 49 on how to copy on pre-cut sheets.
Note: Only use material as specified in ‘List of available material types and
sizes’ on page 109.
The Océ TDS300 printer is a LED printer with a resolution of 600 DPI and a
printing speed of 1.8 A0 or 3 meters per minute.
You can perform a number of activities at the Océ TDS300 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 TDS300 to print’ on
page 19 for more details).
The Océ TDS300 is delivered with drivers to enable you to print from
AutoCAD®, Windows®or Macintosh®applications.

The data flow to the Océ TDS300
Connect the Océ TDS300 to a 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 2).

When an Océ TDS300 receives vector, raster, Adobe®PostScript®or PDF
(optional, Adobe®PostScript®3™) data it will generate a print with the
settings as specified in the Océ Settings Editor.
Each print job has remote control commands to indicate the settings for a job.

Ticket (OJT). The OJT settings overwrite the settings defined in the Océ
Settings Editor. Except for pen settings and job management which have
