Preface
Introduction
This manual provides the operator with information about the following Océ UV flatbed
inkjet printers:
■Océ Arizona® 200 GT
■Océ Arizona® 250 GT
■Océ Arizona® 300 GT
■Océ Arizona® 350 GT
■Océ Arizona® 350 XT
The operational features of these printer models are similar with the following exceptions:
the 200 GT and 300 GT have four sets of printheads; the 250 GT has eight sets, the 350
GT and 350 XT have ten sets (with the white ink option). The main difference in function
is the actual speed (Refer to Printer Specifications in Chapter 2 for details). In term of
image quality and all other functions, the 200 GT and 250 GT models are the same,
while the 300 GT, 350 GT and 350 XT models have improved speed. The 350 XT has
a larger table than the other models. The manual uses the terms Océ Arizona
200/250/300/350 GT or Océ Arizona 350 XT to refer to these printers. The manual
orients you to the many features and procedures that allow you to print professional
quality images on various media with these printers. This version of the user manual
provides support for printer software up to Revision 3.3.
Multi-Language Support
The printer's user interface software supports multiple languages. To select your preferred
language and other setup information, refer to the Settings Module in Chapter 4.
This manual is also available in other languages. Printers are shipped with a printed copy
of the US English version. You can download a PDF file of the manual in all of the lan-
guages that we support from the Customer Support web site:

Safety Information
This manual has three sections that contain details on safety when handling ink and using
the printer. Also, where applicable, cautions and warnings are used throughout this
manual to draw your attention to safety precautions.
■"Safety Guidelines for Ink Materials" offers advice in the proper handling of UV inks;
■"Interlock Safety System" explains the safety features built in to the printer that prevent
and minimize access to Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal and UV hazards; and
■"UV Curing System Safety" presents warning about the dangers of exposure to UV
light. Some of the material from that section are duplicated here.
Customer Service
If your printer malfunctions and you are unable to resolve the problem, field service
technicians can be dispatched to your site to conduct repairs. Service visits are paid for
by the customer, either under a maintenance agreement, by purchase order or prepayment.
Time and material rates are charged for any service not covered under a maintenance
agreement. Before calling to report a problem, gather as much information about the
problem as possible and have it ready to provide to your customer care center. The more
information you can provide initially, the more quickly the problem can be corrected.
Statement of Foreseen Use
The Océ Arizona flatbed inkjet printers are intended for use in a commercial printshop
environment. Factory-authorized training is made available for operators at the time of
installation. The printers use piezo printing technology and UV curable inks to produce
outdoor-durable output. They can print directly onto rigid and flexible media of up to
48 mm (1.89 inch) thickness. The printer holds the media stationary while the printhead
assembly moves across to create the print, eliminating image skew problems often associ-
ated with rigid stock feed systems. With the Roll Media Option installed the printers can
also print on various roll media. See your local representative or visit http://medi-
aguide.oce.com/ for more details on recommended media.
Responsibilities of the Operator
The printer operator must be properly trained. Océ provides training for the operator in
the use of the printer hardware and software at the time of installation. It is the customer's
responsibility to ensure that only properly trained personnel operate the printer. Operators
must be fully versed in the operation of ONYX ProductionHouse® . For any operator
Chapter 1 - Introduction 9
Preface

unfamiliar with its operation, ONYX ProductionHouse® training is required. Training
courses are available; contact your local Océ representative.
The operator or other trained personnel are expected to handle all user maintenance as
detailed in the User Manual, and also replacement of consumable parts (except print
heads). If your site has a technician in charge of printer maintenance, that person is the
optimal candidate. While any trained operator may perform routine maintenance, the
best maintenance results from familiarity with the printer's internal operation and history.
The printer requires daily printhead maintenance to ensure the highest print quality and
longer life for the printheads. The printer design provides you easy access to perform this
simple task and it is essential that printhead maintenance is performed at least once a day,
and more frequently if needed. Periodic cleaning must be scheduled for some components
on a regular basis. A few minutes spent cleaning also helps to ensure optimal printer
function and the highest quality prints.
It is the responsibility of the operator to try to eliminate simple problems before calling
a service representative. But knowing when to call for service is also important. An un-
trained operator must not attempt to service the printer as this may cause further damage.
When you have determined that a service call is required, call as soon as possible. See the
Maintenance section for more details.
Responsibilities of the Service Technician
Field service technicians must have Océ Display Graphics Systems service training. The
service technician is responsible for all repairs, upgrading and modification requested by
the customer or mandated by the Océ Display Graphics Systems Service and Support
Group. The service technician who installs the printer will also provide training for the
operator that covers all of the basic skills required to operate the printer. Service personnel
are furnished with proper tools for the installation and maintenance of the printer. In
addition to the tools and custom kits, each engineer will have basic tools for proper
maintenance and servicing.
