Duplex and simplex printing

The Océ VarioPrint 6000 Ultra Line is a single-pass duplex printer, based on Océ’s unique Gemini technology. This ensures unsurpassed performance for duplex prints, such as very accurate front-to-back registration, and provides a very reliable paper transport, as sheets do not need to be turned.

Because of this inherent duplex printing concept, Océ recommends that the Océ VarioPrint 6000 Ultra Line is predominantly used for duplex print work.

Working environment

The minimal recommended working environment is 75 m3, with a refresh rate of two times per hour.

Do not use paper that is dusty or bears any trace of grease or dirt.

•

If you use reams of paper it is recommended to remove the rst and the last sheet from the

•

ream of paper, because coating residue from the wrapping could be on these sheets.

Do not use paper that is contaminated with glue residue (e.g. from the wrapper).

•

Always wave some air into the paper stack, especially with preprinted materials.

•

Make sure that all paper edges are cut cleanly and evenly.

When in doubt, contact your Océ representative.

Media specifications

The Océ VarioPrint 6000 Ultra Line is equipped with a sophisticated print-engine to achieve outstanding high print quality and productivity. The print process has been designed to meet such quality consistently during a very long life of the machines’ supplies. Paper however may become a limiting factor in achieving the desired performance, particularly when it is deformed or when it contains high quantities of polluting constituents.

Paper must contain only minimal quantities of materials that may pollute the cold and/or hot machine parts. These materials are disperse chemicals, by-products or contaminants, whether homogeneously divided or spot-wise. Especially avoid contamination at or near the sheet’s surface. Examples of migratory substances are:

talc, waxes, glue (required melting point > 120 ºC), sticky resins,

and paper dust. ASA and rosin/alum bulk sizing are suitable without restrictions. In case AKD is used as the bulk sizing, Océ recommends

Specifications for paper

Océ advises to choose a paper specially intended for digital printers, that matches your requirements for whiteness, thickness, smoothness, opacity, etc. To ensure good runability and long-term behaviour, general specifications as mentioned in the European

that the paper contains only minimal quantities of these waxy byproducts. Preferred AKD types are liquid or low melting. Crystalline (stearyl-based) AKD is not recommended. Application of AKD in the surface sizing is not allowed.

When in doubt, contact your local Océ representative.

Standard EN 12281: November 2002 are applicable. Although

this standard is originally intended for cut sheet papers, its general principles are also valid for roll papers.

Packaging

Paper must be packed in moisture-protecting packaging. Packaging materials, such as a protective paper wrapper coating, plastic foil or low melting adhesives, should not contaminate the paper.
