Chapter 1
Getting started
This chapter describes how to turn the Océ 9800 ‘on’ and
‘off’, and how to read basic components of the printer
display. It also explains the configurations in which the
Océ 9800 Printer is available.

8 Océ 9800 Printer User Manual
Turning the Océ 9800 on and off
The Océ 9800 can be turned on manually, or automatically by using the time
switch. The setting of the time switch is set by the key operator. The on/off
timer key is located on the right side of the display panel (see figure 1). Turn
this key to the ‘timer’ position to turn the system on and off automatically.
Your key operator can program the time switch to turn the system on at a
specified time, each day of the work week. This can be quite handy because it
takes approximately 20 minutes for the system to warm up. By activating the
timer, you will always find the system ready for use when you need it.
The on/off timer key has three settings:
■on: the system is turned on.
■off: the system is turned off.
■timer: the system will be turned on automatically at a time of your choice and
turned off after a certain idle time.

For details, refer to ‘Activating the time switch’ on page 66.
High Capacity Stacker (optional) The on/off switch on the optional High
Capacity Stacker must always be left in the ‘on’ position. The High Capacity
Stacker is automatically turned on and off along with the printer.

Reading the display
The display on the printer shows the following components:
[2] Components of the printer display
By pressing the button located under ‘Print’ in the lower right corner of the
display, you can enable or disable plotting on the Océ 9800 printer.
If ‘Print’ is selected (black), the system will accept and print incoming jobs.
The jobs will be handled in incoming order. If the controller is currently
processing a print job, the display will show ‘Processing’. If ‘Print’ is not
selected (white), the printing process is stopped after the current job has been
finished. However, the system will continue to accept incoming print jobs as
long as enough memory is available. For more information about stopping
print jobs, see ‘Stopping a print job’ on page 22.
The memory indicator shows the amount of memory that is currently in use,
along with the number of jobs in memory and the time it will take to print these
jobs. ‘Prints’, in the upper left corner of the display, indicates the number of
(sets of) prints that remain to be printed for the current job.

Chapter 2
Using the Océ 9800 Printer
This chapter describes the layout and functions of the
operating panel, and explains how to use the buttons of the
operating panel to define basic print settings for your
printed output.

14 Océ 9800 Printer User Manual
The operating panel (layout and use)
TheoperatingpaneloftheOcé9800 Printer is locatedatthe front of theprinter.
It is illustrated on this manual’s inside back cover. As you can see in this
illustration, the operating panel consists of a display, and below this, the start,
stop and correction buttons, as well as a set of numeric buttons.
Thissection consists of two sub-sections. The first sub-section deals with basic
use, giving the names of the fixed buttons and indicating where to find them.
The second sub-section deals with special use. It explains how to use the soft
buttons, located above and along the sides of the display, to define your default
print settings.
Buttons
Start The button is used to re-start the print process, or for other purposes
such as confirming dialogs.
Numeric buttons The numbered buttons on the lower part of the operating
panel are used to specify numbers.
Correction The orange button marked with C, located on the right-hand side
of the operating panel, is used to switch to another level of settings, to cancel
a dialog, or to retrieve default settings.
Stop Pressing the small red button above the Correction button stops the
printing process.

Using the Océ 9800 Printer 15
Display
The operating panel is used to (re-)start and stop the printer. The display
provides feedback about print job status and memory content. The section and
function buttons above and below the display allow you to access (default)
printer settings.
The display provides information about:
■the number of (sets of) prints which remain to be produced for the current
job.
■the memory indicator shows the amount of memory that is currently in use,
along with the number of jobs in memory and the time it will take to print
these jobs.
■the roll indicator shows the type of copy media that is currently loaded on the
different rolls in the printer.
■current system status, for example: ‘Warming up’. In the event of an error in
the printer, the exact error location (covers or panels) is graphically shown
on the display, along with instructions on how to solve the problem.
[5] Section, card selection, function, and higher/lower buttons
You can use the operating panel to specify machine settings and default
settings:
■Machine settings can not be overruled by job-specific printer settings.
Examples of machine settings are: changing the timer/clock, specifying the

counter.
■Default settings can be overruled by job-specific printer settings that are sent
along with the print job. Examples of default settings are: copy media to be
used, deposit mode, folding method and stamp selection.
Key operator button By pressing this button you can enter the key operator or
system administrator mode. As this functionality is restricted to a dedicated
user, a different PIN code is required for each mode.
Section and function buttons By means of the section buttons, you can access
the machine, program, finishing and copy sections. In a section, you can use
the function buttons to select a specific function; the function name associated
with each button is shown in the display.
As you can see in illustration 5 on page 15, the display is surrounded by
buttons. Their functions vary, depending on the display level in use.
The top four buttons (section buttons) provide access to the sections (main
menus). Each high-level menu item contains several functions (‘cards’). The
left button, or card selection button, provides access to the cards. The function
buttons allow you to select functions or sub-functions in a card, after which
you can use the higher/lower buttons, or the numeric buttons to define numeric
settings.
When operating the buttons of the Océ 9800 display, keep this sequence in
mind: start with one of the section buttons and work counter-clockwise to the
card selection and function buttons. Finally, use the triangular higher/lower
buttons to make a selection.
