Introduction to the Océ VarioPrint® 6000 line
Introduction
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 line is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers. The printers are
intended both for document printing and stream printing.
The key feature of the machine is the Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology. This technology

on your version, the sustained print speed, including reconditioning, ranges from 182 to 221 to
272 to 328 images per minute when you print a 2-sided A4 document. For a 2-sided Letter
document the sustained print speed ranges from 177 to 216 to 266 to 320 images per minute.
The print speed for 1-sided A4 documents ranges from 127 images per minute to 164 images per
minute. For 1-sided Letter documents the print speed ranges from 124 images per minute to 160
images per minute.
This section provides a short description of the main features of the printer.
Overview of the main features

The main system components
Component Function
1 Control panel The control panel helps you with your daily work, for ex-
ample the scheduling of the jobs. Furthermore, the con-
trol panel helps you to solve errors or perform mainte-
nance tasks (see Control panel on page 33).
2 Operator attention
light
The operator attention light enables you to check the
status of the system from a distance (see The operator
attention light on page 201).
3 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 more paper modules to the default
configuration to increase the media input capacity (see
The paper modules on page 19). 4

Chapter 2 - Explore the print system 17
Océ VarioPrint 6000 line

Component Function
4 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.
5 Stacker The stacker is the output location of a default configura-
tion. The system supports up to 3 stackers (see The out-
put locations on page 21).
6 Finisher (optional) The finisher on top of the stacker is an optional output
location for the print jobs. The finisher can staple the
jobs (see The output locations on page 21).
7 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 con-
trol 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.

The paper modules
Introduction
The paper trays contain the media that are required for the print jobs. The default configuration of
the machine contains 1 paper module with 4 paper trays.
• Two standard trays with a capacity of 600 sheets each.
• Two bulk trays with a capacity of 1,700 sheets each (or 3,400 A4/Letter sheets each when the
optional dual paper trays are installed)
Contact your local authorized dealer for more information about the dual paper trays.
You can add 1 or 2 more paper modules to the machine. Then the total number of paper trays is
extended to 8 or 12 respectively. You can find more information about the capacities of the paper
trays and the supported media size in the specification chapter of this manual.
You can also install a Flex-XL PIM paper input module. In this paper module the two bulk trays
are replaced by Flex-XL trays. A Flex-XL tray can contain media until media size 350 mm x 500
mm. You can install the Flex-XL PIM instead of a standard paper module or in combination with a
standard paper module. You can install a maximum of 3 paper modules. Contact your local
authorized dealer for more information about the Flex-XL PIM. See also
Flex-XL paper input
module
on page 29.
This section describes the control panel on each paper module.
NOTE
You can use the control panel on the paper modules to open the paper trays and load the media.
However, the recommended way to open the paper trays and assign the media is via the
[Schedule] view. You can also open the paper trays and/or assign the media via the [Trays] view
(see Assign the media to a paper tray on page 212).

[1] The control panel on the paper modules
Each paper module contains a control panel next to the upper paper tray. The control panel
consists of 4 sections that correspond with the 4 paper trays. Each section displays the current
filling level of the corresponding paper tray. Furthermore, the control panel indicates whether the
media in the paper tray is assigned or not. The following table describes the various parts of the
control panel.

The parts of the control panel
Number Description
1 The LEDs indicate the current amount of sheets in the corresponding paper
tray. Each lit-up LED indicates the presence of about 100 sheets (based on
media of 80 g/m2 or 20 lb bond).
2 Press the button to open the corresponding paper tray. You can only open 1
paper tray at a time.
3 When the check mark is green, the media in the paper tray is defined. The
system knows which media is in the paper tray.
4 When the arrows are red, the media in the paper tray is not defined. The
system does not know which media is in the paper tray. The [Trays] view on
the control panel indicates that no media is assigned to the paper tray.
5 The [Not assigned] button. This button applies to the paper tray where you
just put the media.
You can press the [Not assigned] button when you load a new media type
into a paper tray without defining this media type on the control panel first.
Then the printer cannot accidentally use the media in this paper tray before
the media is correctly defined on the control panel. You can define the me-
dia type in the [Trays] view on the control panel later (see
Assign the media
to a paper tray
on page 212).
NOTE
Make sure that the paper tray is open when you press the [Not as-
signed] button.
