Getting Started 1-1
CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
This chapter shows you how to get started using your printer. It includes
these topics:
◆Operating Requirements (page 1-2)
◆Important Operating Notes (page 1-4)
◆Workflow Overview (page 1-12)
◆Parts Overview (page 1-19)
◆Special Features (page 1-23)

1-2 Operating Requirements
Operating
Requirements
Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the
following requirements in mind:
Electrical ◆Use the supplied power cord. Plug it directly into a grounded
electrical outlet. Do not lengthen the power cord with an
extension cord; the resulting drop could damage the printer.
◆Make sure the line voltage meets the requirements: 220 VAC
±10%, 20 Amps, with NEMA L6-20R locking wall receptacle
(North America and Japan), OR 220 VAC ±10%, 16 Amps,
single phase, with IEC 60309 wall receptacle (Europe). See
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for details.
◆The printer requires a stable power supply to ensure accept-
able output and sufficient voltage to light the UV lamps. If
necessary, you can purchase and install a voltage regulator
to ensure acceptable printer performance. Refer to the Site
Preparation Guide for specifications.
◆The UV lamp power supply is connected to the included
power line conditioner that provides steady and consistent
voltage for optimal performance.
Caution Only equipment that is specified by Océ should be
connected to the line conditioner. Do not remove the
safety plugs from the line conditioner outlets.
◆To maintain vacuum to the printheads during printer power-
down, use the auxiliary 24 volt power supply (included in
the accessory kit with universal power adapters). Connect
the 24 VDC jack on the vacuum/pressure assembly to either
of two options:
◆1. UPS — customer-supplied uninterruptable power sup-
ply, output 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, minimum of 15 watts
of power, provides battery backup to the vacuum sys-
tem in the event of a power failure.
◆2. Wall outlet — 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, provides tem-
porary power to the vacuum system when it is neces-
sary to power down the printer for service.See Appendix
A, Technical Specifications, for details.
◆Connect the RIP to a separate electrical circuit from the
printer.

Operating Requirements 1-3
Environmental ◆Make sure the room is well ventilated, with a temperature
and relative humidity within specifications (see “Specifica-
tions” on page A-2). Optimal printing and occurs within
these ranges.
◆The high power UV light emitted by the curing lamps reacts
with oxygen and produces ozone. This formation tends to be
greatest during lamp start-up. The printer should be oper-
ated in a well-ventilated area to avoid minor effects such as
headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper respiratory
tract. Normal air movement will mix the ozone with fresh air,
causing it to revert back to oxygen.
◆Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and
humidity conditions as the printer.
◆Locate the printer close enough to the RIP so that they can
be connected with the required cable.
◆Locate the printer on a flat, level floor.
◆Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not
disturb quiet work areas.
◆DO NOT install the printer near humidifiers, refrigerators,
fans, water faucets, heaters or similar equipment.
◆DO NOT install the printer in areas where the temperature
changes abruptly, such as near air conditioners or in the path
of direct sunlight.
◆DO NOT expose the printer to flames or dust.

1-4 Important Operating Notes
Important Operating
Notes
◆UV CURE INK IS PERISHABLE. Unlike other
inks used in wide format printing, UV cure ink
has a limited shelf life. Plan to rotate your ink
stock and use it promptly by the date printed on
the ink box.
◆DO NOT POWER DOWN THE PRINTER. Constant vacuum at
the printheads is required to prevent ink from flowing from
the printheads when not printing. If the printer must be
powered down for shipping see “Extended Power Down and
Restart” on page 5-25, or apply auxiliary 24 volt power.
Caution Do not switch off the UV lamp power supply
unless the lamps have fully completed their con-
trolled cool-down cycle (with fans and heat extrac-
tion). Removing power from hot lamps can result in
overheating and permanent damage. If sudden
removal of power occurs, contact Océ Display Graph-
ics Systems Technical Services before starting the
printer again.
Caution Do not connect any equipment to the line condi-
tioner for the UV power supply, except as specified
by Océ.
◆To dab the printheads, use only Océ IJC700 UV Printhead
Flush. (See “Recover Missing Ink Jets” on page 5-7 for
instructions.) DO NOT USE ISOPROYPL ALCOHOL.
◆The maximum diameter allowed on the takeup spool is 7.5
inches (190.5 mm) on a 3-inch core. When the takeup spool
has a diameter of 6.5-7.5 inches (165.0-190.5 mm), the con-
trol panel displays a warning about possible print quality
issues. The supply-takeup system can support rolls of up to
approximately 125 pounds (56.7 kg).
◆The media supply may be wound either printed-side-out or
printed-side-in, but the takeup, if used, must be loaded
printed-side-in.
◆The default head height set to 0.085 inches (2.2 mm) above
the media. (The space below the carriage will measure to
0.070 inches due to the printhead protection frame around
the outside of the carriage.)

Important Operating Notes 1-5
◆If the height of sheet-fed media exceeds 0.25 inches (6.35
mm), you must prepare the printer as follows before print-
ing:
◆Raise the head height
◆Raise the right-side louver assembly
◆Install the left-side light-blocking mat
The printer detects when the media thickness is equal to or
exceeds 0.25 inches, and prompts you to perform these
steps. See “Loading Rigid Media” on page 3-27 for instruc-
tions.
◆The Media Wizard stores a set of operational parameters for
predefined and user-defined media types. When you load a
new media type, select an existing Media Wizard set, or cre-
ate a custom set. Media Wizard parameter sets can be
selected at any time from the control panel. (See “Media
Wizard” on page 3-41 for details.)
◆Enable AutoTune during long periods of unattended print-
ing. AutoTune runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals to
ensure that all jets are either working or substituted with
working jets. (See “AutoTune” on page 4-4 for instructions.)
◆Wear cotton gloves when loading media to prevent finger-
prints that could show after printing.
◆DO NOT rest or store a media roll on end, or you could
cause edge creases that could strike the printheads during
printing.
◆DO NOT clean the printhead surfaces with a dry cloth or
paper towel of any kind. Use only a lint-free (Class 100 clean-
room) cloth, such as those supplied with the printer, moist-
ened with Océ IJC700 UV Print Head Flush.
◆DO NOT reprint over any output that has not completely
cured. The rubber pinch rollers could be damaged by wet
ink. If ink does get onto the pinch rollers, clean them with a
minimal amount of isopropyl alcohol and dry them thor-
oughly before printing.
◆DO NOT set heavy objects on the power cord or printer
cable; do not bend the cables or force them into contorted
positions.
◆DO NOT place heavy objects anywhere on the printer.

1-6 Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings ◆UV light — the ultraviolet (UV) curing lamps emit high
power UV light. The printer must be operated with all safety
shielding installed to protect the operator from eye and skin
damage. When operated according to manufacturer’s
instructions, safety glasses or other protective clothing are
not necessary.
◆Mechanical hazards — Keep fingers away from carriage and
media path. The printer is too heavy to be lifted safely by
one person. At least three persons are required to lift the
printer. Do not exceed the maximum weight load of the
input or output tables, as printed on the label.
◆Ink — read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the ink, and post the
document in the work area as required by prevailing law.
Avoid any contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate gen-
eral and local exhaust ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors.
Respirator protection may be required under exceptional cir-
cumstances when excessive air contamination exists. None of
the component substances have established exposure stan-
dards per OSHA, NIOSH or ACGIH.
◆Electrical — WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSI-
TION, POWER MAY STILL BE SUPPLIED TO THE PRINTER
COMPONENTS. To completely cut power from the printer,
you must unplug the power cords from the power outlets.
◆Ozone — the high power UV light emitted by the curing
lamps reacts with oxygen and produces ozone. This forma-
tion tends to be greatest during lamp start-up. The printer
should be operated in a well-ventilated area to avoid minor
effects such as headaches, fatigue, and dryness of the upper
respiratory tract. Normal air movement will mix the ozone
with fresh air, causing it to revert back to oxygen.
◆Hazardous waste — THE PRINTER ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY
CONTAINS A LITHIUM BATTERY DEVICE. THERE IS A DAN-
GER OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY
REPLACED. The battery must be replaced only by autho-
rized service providers, and must be replaced only with the
same or equivalent type. Dispose of this lithium battery
device in accordance with local, state (or province), and Fed-
eral (or country) solid waste requirements.

Safety Warnings 1-7
German ◆UV-Licht – die ultravioletthärtenden Lampen strahlen
Hochleistungs-UV-Licht ab. Der Drucker muss mit allen
installierten Sicherheitsabschirmungen betrieben werden,
um den Bediener vor Augen- und Hautschäden zu schützen.
Sicherheitsbrillen oder andere Schutzkleidung ist nicht
erforderlich, wenn gemäß den Herstelleranweisungen gear-
beitet wird.
◆Mechanische Risiken – Halten Sie die Finger fern vom Lauf-
wagen und von der Medienzuführung. Überschreiten Sie
nicht die maximale Gewichtsauslastung der Eingabe- oder
Ausgabetische, die auf dem Etikett aufdruckt sind.
◆Tinte – lesen und beachten Sie die Sicherheitsrichtlinien, wie
sie im Material- Sicherheitsdatenblatt (MSDS) für die Tinte
dargestellt sind und bringen Sie das Dokument, wie von der
aktuellen Rechtsprechung gefordert, im Arbeitsbereich an.
Vermeiden Sie jeden Kontakt mit Haut und Augen. Stellen Sie
ausreichende generelle und lokale Absaugvorrichtungen
bereit. Vermeiden Sie das Einatmen von Dämpfen. Eine
Atemschutzmaske könnte unter außergewöhnlichen
Umständen, wenn erhöhte Luftverschmutzung besteht,
erfoderlich sein. Keine der Bestandteile haben Gefahren-
standards nach OSHA, NIOSH oder ACGIH etabliert.
◆WARNUNG — WENN DER NETZSCHALTER IN OFF POSITION
STEHT, WIRD DEN KOMPONENTEN TROTZDEM STROM
ZUGEFÜHRT. Um den Drucker komplett stromfrei zu machen,
müssen Sie den Netzstecker ziehen.
◆Ozon – das Hochleistungs-UV-Licht, das von den Aushär-
tungslampen abgegeben wird, reagiert mit Sauerstoff und
produziert Ozon. Diese Entwicklung ist am größten,
während die Lampe hochgefahren wird. Der Drucker sollte
in einem gut gelüftetem Umfeld betrieben werden, um ger-
ingfügige Auswirkungen, wie Kopfschmerzen, Müdigkeit
und Austrocknen der oberen Atemwege zu vermeiden. Die
normale Luftbewegung vermischt das Ozon mit Frischluft,
wodurch es wieder zu Sauerstoff umgewandelt wird.
◆WARNUNG — DIE ELEKTRONIK DES DRUCKERS ENTHÄLT
EINE LITHIUM BATTERIE. ES BESTEHT EXPLOSIONSGEFAHR
WENN DIESE UNSACHGEMÄSS AUSGEWECHSELT WIRD. Die
Batterie darf nur durch einen MacDermid ColorSpan autho-
risierten Technicker ausgewechselt werden und muss mit
dem gleichen oder einem gleichwertigen Typ Batterie ersetzt
werden. Bitte entsorgen Sie die Lithium Batterie gemäss
Ihren Landesoder Bundesgesetzen.
