Introduction 11

The Océ TDS400

12 Océ TDS400 User Manual

The Océ TDS400 concept and components

The Océ TDS400printer

The Océ TDS400 printer is available with an automatic 1- or 2-roll unit and manual feed.Use manual feed when you want to print a job on a media type or size that is not available on one of the paper rolls.

Note: The manual feed is a special slot just above the paper drawers on the

printer. You can insert cut sheet material in this slot, one sheet at a time.Refer to ‘Copy on pre-cut sheets’ on page 61 on how to copy on pre-cut sheets.

Note: Only use material as specified in ‘List of available material types and

sizes’ on page 214.

The Océ TDS400 is a 600 DPI LED printer with a speed of 3 meters per minute.

You can perform a number of activities at the Océ TDS400 printer. You can set the media type and size, stop a print job or select your preferred language from the printer operator panel (see Chapter 2, ‘Using the Océ TDS400 to Print’ on page 23 for more details).

The Océ TDS400 is delivered with drivers and job submission software to enable you to print from AutoCAD®, Windows® or Macintosh® applications.

The Océ TDS400scanner

The Océ TDS400 scanner supports a wide range of copy activities. It provides a large number of functions for defining original and copy related settings. You can specify particular media, feeding and quality enhancement options from the scanner operator panel. In combination with the Océ TDS400 printer it forms a powerful productivity tool.

The scanner scans your originals. You can print the originals(copy job) or you can store the scanned original in a file (Océ Scan Logic®). The scanner has different quality modes which are provided by Océ Image Logic®.

Introduction 13

■ Green key principle

The Océ TDS400 is easy to use. Press the green key on the scanner operator panel to start the basic copy jobs. If you have difficult copy jobs, you change the default copy settings with the help of the other settings on the scanner operator panel.

The Océ Power Logic® controller

The Océ TDS400 is equipped with a controller to process the print jobs and the copy jobs. The controller can have Océ Remote Logic® to control your print jobs, make your default printer settings and monitor the printer status.

The Océ Power Logic® controller processes the print jobs and the copy jobs.It

also processes the optional scan to file jobs.

■ Set processing

When yousend a fileto the printer,the file is processed onceand can be printed many times. The Océ TDS400 has a set memory to store a maximum of 135 A0s which allows you to create the same sets that are sorted either by page or by set.

■ Spool memory

The Océ TDS400 has a spool memory which provides a queuing system for files you want to print. The spool memory allows many users to send the print jobs to the Océ TDS400 at the same time. The print jobs are put in the print queue where they wait to be printed. The job that is put first into the queue is printed first.

■ Network connectivity

The Océ TDS400 controls a number of common network protocols. The Océ TDS400 can be used in may networks like TCP/IP and Novell®.

Océ Settings Editor The Océ Settings Editor allows you to set the default

settings of the Océ TDS400 according to your companies requirements.

Refer to ‘Océ Power Logic®: The Settings Editor’ on page 99, for complete information about the Océ Settings Editor application.

Océ System Control Panel The Océ System Control Panel (SCP) application

provides you with status information about the system.

14 Océ TDS400 User Manual

Refer to ‘Océ Power Logic®: System Control Panel’ on page 115, for complete information about the Océ System Control Panel.

Océ Queue Manager The Océ Queue Manager (QM) application gives a

graphical design of the print queue. You can manage jobs in the print queue, history queue, or inbox queue.

Refer to ‘Océ Power Logic®: Queue Manager’ on page 121, for complete information about the Océ Queue Manager.

Océ Remote Logic® enables you to:

■ View system status (Océ System Control Panel).

■ Manage print jobs (Océ Queue Manager).

Change settings (Océ Settings Editor).

Océ TDS400 options

By default, the Océ TDS400 has an automatic 1 roll unit and is equipped with a receiving tray as the output delivery device. The receiving tray is the rack on the bottom of the printer (see figure 1 on page 12).

Automatic 2-roll unit The Océ TDS400 is available with an automatic 2-roll

unit. Each of the rolls can be loaded with print material of a different size or type. The size and type of the available media are indicated on the operating panel.

Compact Output Stacker The optional compact output stacker offers a smart

and efficient disposition of printed or copied drawings (up to 100 prints) on PPC material and some other materials.

Output Delivery Tray Collects output at the rear of printers as they are printed.

Folder folds the output and adds reinforcement strips with optional

reinforcement unit.

Note: you can only use the output delivery tray or the folder.

Introduction 15

Graphical User Interface The Graphical User Interface (GUI) consists of a

screen, a mouse, a keyboard and software. You use the screen, mouse and keyboardto interact with the graphicaluser interface of the controller. With the GUI you can perform Key Operator and System Administrator tasks in a graphical way. Settings are visible within one window so that it is much easier to view and change them.

Océ Scan Logic® Enables you to scan a document to file for later (re)use. You

can use the files in other applications or print them out.

■ Océ Scan Manager with Océ View Station LT

The Océ Scan Manager is an application available only locally on the controller. With the Océ Scan Manager you can:

■ configure the destinations for scan-to-file jobs

■ increase your productivity with automatic file naming

■ view the scans

When an Océ TDS400 receives vector, raster, Adobe® PostScript® or PDF (optional, Adobe® PostScript® 3™)data it will generate a print with the settings as specified in the Océ Settings Editor.

Each print job has remote control commands to indicate the settings for a job. This so called header contains the job and the file defined settings in Océ Job Ticket (OJT). The OJT settings overwrite the settings defined in the Océ Settings Editor. Except for pen settings and job management which have priority over the Océ Job Ticket settings.

20 Océ TDS400 User Manual

To compose such a header, you can:

■ Compose the header within your application. Please refer to the Océ Job

Ticket (OJT) manual.

■ Use an Windows® and/or AutoCAD® HDI driver to generate both a

printable file (e.g. HP-RTL, HP-GL/2) and the appropriate header with RCF-commands. Please refer to the Windows® / AutoCAD® Driver documentation.

28 Océ TDS400 User Manual

Menu structure

On the Océ TDS400 printer operator panel, you can do a number of actions. These actions include:

■ Media settings (material and size).

■ Print info (configuration report, menu card and demo print).

■ Configuration (connectivity issues).

■ System (clear set memory and diagnostic mode).

Media type and size on the printer

One of the features of the Océ TDS400 printer is the automatic media change function. This function allows the printer to take another roll of the same format and copy material when the roll becomes empty when you print. You must configurethis setting in the Océ Settings Editor (see‘Océ Power Logic®: The Settings Editor’ on page 99).

If you activate this function the machine automatically switches to the other roll, if the used one becomes empty. The switch only occurs if the kind of media and the width of the material is the same for both rolls.

Note: The Océ TDS400 Printer can not identify the copy material type and

format. Fill the media and indicate the type and the size as described in Chapter , ‘Media’ on page 152.

See ‘List of available material types and sizes’ on page 214 for a summary of all materials for the use with the Océ TDS400 Printer.

If you insert a new roll with another material or with a different width, you have to program the newroll specifications. Refer to ‘List of available material types and sizes’ on page 214.

Note: The machines switches automatically to the other roll if the used roll

becomes empty, if you activate this function in the Océ Settings Editor.
