Introduction to the bizhub PRO 1600P/2000P/2500P

Introduction to the bizhub PRO 1600P/2000P/2500P

Introduction

The bizhub PRO 1600P/2000P/2500P is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers. The machines are intended for both document printing and stream printing. Duplex technology enables the machine to print on the front and back side of a sheet at the same time. Depending on the version, the sustained print speed, including reconditioning, ranges from 80-125 sheets per minute (A4 / Letter). That means the machine can print 160 - 250 images per minute (A4 / Letter) when printing a 2-sided document.

The print speed for 1-sided documents (A4/Letter) is 125 images per minute. This section gives a short description of the main features of the machine.

Note: Not all the configurations mentioned in this user manual are available worldwide. Please contact your local dealer for the available configurations in your country.

Overview of the main features

Advanced scheduling concept on the operator panel to keep the machine running.

Load and assign the media while the machine prints.

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, a stacker/stapler and other external finishers.

Support of a large range of media, media sizes and media weights.

Support of PS/PCL/PDF and streaming PS.

The power modes

The power modes

Introduction

This section describes the power switches and the main power modes of the machine.

The table in this section describes, among other things, the low-power mode and the sleep mode. These modes are energy-saving modes. You can set the timers for these modes in the Settings Editor on the controller. Furthermore, you can set a calendar timer in the Settings Editor. Then the machine will wake up from the sleep mode at the indicated time. You can use the calendar timer for example to make sure that the machine is ready for use at the beginning of your working day. The machine can warm up before you start your working day. Please refer to the online help on the Settings Editor for more information about these timers.

Description of the power switch and the On/Off button

The machine has the following switch and button to control the power supply.

Power switch

The power switch is located at the back side of the machine. The power switch connects and disconnects the machine to the mains power.

On/Off button with amber and green LEDs .

The On/Off button on the machine (see ‘Introduction to the main system

components’ on page 22) allows you to toggle between the stand-by mode and the sleep mode. This is only possible if the power switch is in the '1' position and the start-up phase is completed.

Operator panel

The operator panel helps you with your daily

 

 

work, for example the scheduling of the jobs.

 

 

Furthermore, the operator panel helps you to

 

 

solve errors or perform maintenance tasks (see

 

 

The operator panel’ on page 24).

 

 

 

2

Operator attention

The operator attention light enables you to check

 

light

the status of the system from a distance (see ‘The

 

 

operator attention light’ on page 26).

 

 

 

3

Roll feeder

A roll feeder is an optional device that adds

 

(optional)

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 operator 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

 

 

documentation of the roll feeder manufacturer

 

 

for more information, for example about

 

 

replacing an empty roll.

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 31).

 

 

 

 

 

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 required. The doors at the

 

 

 

left-hand side and right-hand side of the engine

The operator panel

The operator panel

Introduction

The operator panel is a touch screen panel. You must touch the buttons on the operator panel to access the various functions. The operator panel is divided into 4 main views. The taskbar at the bottom of the screen contains the buttons that give access to the 4 main views. Furthermore, the operator panel has 2 hardkeys ( and ) at the bottom of the panel.

This section gives an overview of the main keys and buttons of the operator panel.

Note: You can clean the screen of the operator panel with a 50% mix of water and isopropyl alcohol (K2). Use a lint-free cloth. Always put the cleaner onto the cloth and not directly on the screen.

The operator attention light

The operator attention light

Introduction

The operator attention light informs you about the status of the machine. To improve the productivity, the operator attention light can warn you some time before the machine stops. You can set the warning time on the operator panel (see ‘Change the warning time’ on page 111).

The operator attention light contains 3 lights (red, orange and green) that indicate the current status of the machine. The colors of the lights match the status that is currently indicated on the operator panel. For example, when operator interaction is required soon, both the dashboard (see ‘The dashboard’ on page 34) and the operator attention light will display an orange warning. The dashboard displays a message with the required action.

This section describes the meaning of the colors of the operator attention light.

The output locations

The output locations

Introduction

The machine supports several output locations for the printed jobs. The default configuration of your machine contains a stacker and the system output. The finisher and the stacker/stapler are optional output locations. Furthermore, you can connect several optional external finishers to the machine.

Note: You need the optional finisher, the optional stacker/stapler or another optional external finisher to staple the jobs.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

'Stacker'

The stacker is the default output location of the machine. The

 

 

 

stacker capacity is 6,000 sheets, in 2 stacks of 3,000 sheets

 

 

 

each (80 g/m2 or 20 lb. bond).

 

 

 

 

 

The stacker does not contain staple cartridges. Therefore, the

 

 

 

stacker cannot be the output location for jobs that require

 

 

 

staples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

'System output'

The system output is the output location for the following

 

 

 

prints.

 

 

 

 

 

Error prints

 

 

 

 

 

Configuration reports

 

 

 

 

 

Job tickets

 

 

 

 

 

The test sheets for the media registration.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that you regularly remove the sheets from the

 

 

 

system output.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

'Finisher'

The optional finisher contains the following output trays.

 

 

(optional)

3 output trays

 

 

 

 

 

1 upper output (see no. 4 below)

 

 

 

 

 

The finisher contains 2 staple cartridges to staple the jobs.

 

 

 

The 3 output trays can receive A4, Letter and similar media

 

 

 

sizes. Stapled jobs (A4, Letter and similar media sizes only)

 

 

 

go into the output trays. The total capacity of the output trays

 

 

 

is 3,700 sheets (80 g/m2 or 20 lb bond).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The output trays cannot receive tab sheets.

 

 

 

 

 

4

'Finisher upper

The finisher upper output is part of the finisher. The upper

 

 

output'

output can receive all formats. However, the upper output is

 

 

 

mainly intended for large media or jobs with mixed size

 

 

 

media. The maximum capacity of the upper output is 500

 

 

 

sheets (80 g/m2 or 20 lb bond).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The upper output does not contain staple

 

 

 

 

cartridges. Therefore, the upper output cannot be

 

 

 

 

the output location for jobs that require staples.
