Introduction to the Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR+ line
Introduction
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR+ line is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers. These printers
support magnetic ink character recognition (MICR). MICR printing is intended primarily for
transaction printing of valuable documents like cheques. A magnetic reader can read documents
printed with MICR toner.
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR+ line uses the Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology. This
technology enables the machine to print MICR toner on both the front side and the back side of a
sheet at the same time. Depending on your version, the sustained print speed ranges from 170,
200 to 250 images per minute (A4 / Letter) when you print a 2-sided document. The print speed
for 1-sided documents (A4/Letter) is 125 images per minute.
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR+ line prints only with MICR toner. A combination of MICR toner
and regular toner is not possible. However, you can also print regular documents with MICR
toner.
This section gives a short description of the main features of the printer.
Overview of the main features
• Support of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) printing
• Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology that enables the printing of both sides of a sheet at the
same time.
• Advanced scheduling concept on the operator panel to keep the machine running.
• Load and assign the media while the printer prints.
• Unload the media while the printer prints
• Assign the media while the printer warms up, after the printer is initialized.
• Support of up to 12 paper trays (total input capacity up to 13,800 sheets) and a roll feeder.
• Support of up to 3 stackers, a finisher and other external finishers.
• Support of a large range of media, media sizes and media weights.
• Support of secure printing.
• Support of IPDS/PS/PCL/PDF and streaming PS.
•Support of a large range of software products, for example the Océ PRISMA series, Xerox®
FreeFlow®.
• Support of RDO files via Océ DP Link.

Component Function
1 Operator panel The operator panel helps you with your daily work, for
example the scheduling of the jobs. Furthermore, the
operator panel helps you solve errors or perform main-
tenance tasks.
2 Operator attention
light
The operator attention light enables you to check the
status of the system from a distance.
3 Roll feeder (optional) A roll feeder is an optional device that adds paper input
capacity to your printer. When you use a roll feeder, you
can only use 1 or 2 paper modules. A combination of 3
paper modules and a roll feeder is not possible. The op-
erator panel displays the roll feeder and gives feedback
about the status of the roll feeder. For example whether
the roll is full or empty. Please refer to the documenta-
tion of the roll feeder manufacturer for more informa-
tion, for example about replacing an empty roll.
4 Paper module The paper module contains 4 paper trays. The paper
trays contain the media that will be printed. The default
configuration of the system contains 1 paper module.
You can add 1 or 2 additional paper modules to the de-
fault configuration to increase the media input capacity.
5 Engine module The engine module contains the components that print
the media. Access to the engine module is only required
when a paper jam occurs or when maintenance is re-
quired. The doors at the left-hand side and right-hand
side of the engine module give access to the toner units.
6 PrintGuard modules The PrintGuard modules are required for MICR printing.
The PrintGuard modules postfuse the prints. 4
