Introduction
This manual provides the operator with informationabout the following Océ Arizona 6100 Series
UV
flatbed inkjet printers:
• Océ
Arizona® 6160 XTS
• Océ
Arizona® 6170 XTS
The
operational features of these printer models are similar. The main functional difference
between the two models is the number of printheads and therefore the available channels for ink.
The table below shows the possible ink output that each model is capable of supporting.
These printers are targeted to the high volume, high speed printing. They will support up to
seven independent printing channels and are offered in the large table size (XT) only. To facilitate
ease of use in daily operation the printers have an Automatic Printhead Maintenance System and
an Automatic Pin Registration System.

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;
•
"InterlockSafety System" explains the safety features built in to the printer that preventand
minimizeaccess to Mechanical, Electrical,Thermal and UV hazards; and
• "UV
CuringSystem Safety"presents warning about the dangers of exposure to UV light. Some
of the material from that section are duplicatedhere.
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. Beforecalling to
report a problem, gather as much informationabout 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 Arizonaflatbed inkjet printers are intended for use in a commercial print shop
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 directlyonto rigid and flexiblemedia of up to 50.8mm (2.0 inch)
thickness. The printer holds the media stationary while the printhead assembly (carriage) moves
across
to create the print, eliminating image skew problems often associated with rigid stockfeed
systems.

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 properlytrained personnel operate the printer. Operators must be fully versed in
the operation of ONYX Thrive® or ProductionHouse® . For any operator unfamiliar with these
applications, ONYX training is required. Trainingcourses are available;contact your local Océ
representative.

Chapter 1 ‐
Introduction
Océ Arizona 6100 Series
The
operator or other trained personnel are expected to handle all user maintenanceas detailed
in the User Manual,and also replacement of consumable parts (except printheads). 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 performs automatic printhead maintenance to ensure the highest print quality and
longer life for the printheads. Periodiccleaning must be scheduled for some components, such as
the underside of the carriage, on a regular basis. A few minutes spent cleaningalso helps to
ensure optimal printer functionand 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 untrained operator
must
not attempt to service the printeras this may cause further damage. When you have
determined that a service call is required, call as soon as possible.See the Troubleshooting and
Maintenance sections for more details.
Responsibilities of the Service Technician
Field service technicians must have Océ DisplayGraphics Systems service training. The service
technician
is responsible for all repairs, upgrading and modificationrequested by the customer or
mandated by the Océ DisplayGraphics 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 installationand maintenance of the printer. In addition to the tools and custom kits, each
engineer
will have basic tools for proper maintenance and servicing.
