How to use this manual

The Océ PlotWave™ 300 key concepts
Printer configuration
The Océ PlotWave™ 300 is available in a number of configurations. The minimum
configuration is a one roll printer only version. In the Océ PlotWave 300 multifunction
Express the Océ PlotWave™ 300 printer is combined with a scanner on top.
Copy functionality
The Océ PlotWave 300 multifunction Express offers a large number of copy activities.
A wide variety of original and copy related settings are supported. You can specify partic-
ular layout, media, finishing, feeding and quality enhancement options from the user
panel.
Scan functionality
The Océ PlotWave 300 multifunction Express offers a large number of scan activities. A
wide variety of original and scan related settings are supported. You can specify particular
layout and quality enhancement options and you can select a local or remote scan desti-
nation from the user panel.
Green button principle
The Océ PlotWave 300 multifunction Express is a very user-friendly system. Basic copy
or scan jobs can be performed by simply pressing the green button on the user panel.
Only if you want to perform more complex copy or scan jobs, you have to change the
default settings with the help of the other settings on the user panel. The templates offer
you extended ease of use because you can use them to store preferred combinations of
settings.
Templates
The user panel offers you a number of customisable templates for the job settings of a
copy or scan job. The templates allow you to store your preferred job settings. To start
a job you simply select a template on the user panel and press the green button. Templates
can be managed in the Océ Express WebTools.
Integrated Océ Express WebTools controller application
The Océ Express WebTools controller application supports a centralised workflow. Only
one application with a transparent and intuitive layout where you can perform many
Chapter 1 - Introduction 17
The Océ PlotWave™ 300 key concepts

tasks based on user role defined access. The jobs tab gives you a full overview and full
control on print and scan job management, but also allows you to manage your templates,
stamps, system preferences and network connectivity settings.
Print and copy jobs
A print and copy job is a job sent to the Océ PlotWave™ 300 printer from a user appli-
cation (print job) or from the scanner (copy job). A print or copy job can consist of sev-
eral sets, which in turn may consist of several pages. Sorting of a job can take place based
on sets or on pages.
Job recovery
The Océ PlotWave™ 300 is equipped with a job recovery function that safeguards users
against data loss in case of a printer failure. After a restart, the data submitted to the
printer before the crash will be automatically processed and printed. This means that jobs
do not have to be re-submitted after a printer malfunction, thus saving valuable time for
the users.
Chapter 1 - Introduction18
The Océ PlotWave™ 300 key concepts

User interaction
Introduction
The user can communicate with the Océ PlotWave™ 300 from local locations and remote
locations.
User panel
The Océ PlotWave™ 300 offers a user panel that allows you to do the following.
■Manipulate the machine behaviour.
■Define the settings for copy and scan jobs.
Integrated Océ Express WebTools controller application
The Océ Express WebTools controller application supports a centralised workflow. Only
one application with a transparent and intuitive layout where you can perform many
tasks based on user role defined access. Separate work spaces give you a full overview and
full control on print and scan job management, but also allows you to manage your
templates, system preferences and network connectivity settings. You can also monitor
the status of your system in this application. You can access the integrated Océ Express
WebTools controller application from any networked workstation.
Printer drivers
With the Océ PlotWave™ 300 the Océ Windows® Printer Driver and the Océ PostScript®
3™ Drivers can be used. With these drivers users in remote locations can print their files
directly from their applications to the Océ PlotWave™ 300. More information about
installing, configuring and using drivers can be found in the documentation provided
with the drivers. All Océ drivers (PostScript® driver not included) can be freely downloaded
