The Océ 9400-II copier
The Océ 9400-II is also a digital copier for large documents (such as
architectural orengineering drawings). The machine is easy to use and makes
copies on paper, transparencies, vellum and polyester film with the quality and
reliability that you have come to expect from Océ.
To use the Océ 9400-II as a copier, a wide-format scanner must be connected
to the printer. Please note that you can still send print jobs when the Océ
9400-II is used as a copier. The print jobs are processed after copying is
finished.
The machine detects whether a user wants to print a document or make a copy,
and automatically switches back to printing mode after 1 minute.
Image logic
Optional
The Océ 9400-II copier makes use of Océ image logic technology. This
technology ensures that the quality of every copy is automatically optimized.

Stand-by mode
The operating panel (see the illustration on inside back cover) on the Océ
9400-II is easy to use and has been specially designed to perform copy jobs.
After switching on the scanner, (see p age18), the machine is ready for
continuous operation. In this state, the operating panel is in stand-by mode,
which is a low-power mode. The operating panel is activated in the following
situations:
■
when you feed in an original
■
when you press a button on the operating panel
Note:
If you do not use the operating panel for more than 1 minute and no
original is fed in, the machine automatically returns to stand-by mode. The
Océ 9400-II, however, always remains ready for operation. However, if the
original remains in the scanner feed table, the operating panel returns to
stand-by mode after 2.5 minutes. The settings will remain unchanged.

During the copying process:
If you press this button while an original is being fed in, the process will stop
immediately. If you want to abort a multi-copy job after the scanning of the
original is finished, you must abort the copying process by pressing the
'cancel/continue' button on the printer. You must open the top cover of the
scanner to remove the original (‘Clearing original jam’ on pag e124).
Media button
This button allows you to choose the copy material input.
Possible input selections are Roll 1, Roll 2, or Manual feed.
Exposure scale
You modify the exposure level with the 'lighter' and 'darker'
buttons. The exposure level can be changed at any time.
Auto-exposure button
Automatic Background Compensation can be switched
on or off by using this button.
Cut button
This button toggles between synchro cut mode and standard cut
mode.
In synchro cut mode, the copy is cut to the length of the original.
In standard cut mode, the copy is cut to a standard length.
Edge button
This button toggles between the leading and trailing edge. This
allows you to add or remove a strip at the leading or trailing edge.
Zoom button
You can vary the zoom factor with the range of 25% to 400%. A
fixed increment or a percentage can be used.
Up/Down buttons
When using zoom-, edge-, or the standard-cut modes, you
can modify the values of these modes by pressing the up or down buttons.
Start indicator
This indicator, located above the start button, indicates that the
scanner is ready to perform a scan and turns off while the scanner is scanning
an original. This is also the only indicator that is turned on while the scanner
is in stand-by mode.
Please wait
This indicator flashes when the user has pressed the start button,
but the system is not ready to scan. This could be because the system is busy
with a multi-copy job, or because the system is processing a print job.
Printer error
This indicator activates if there is a printer error. Check the
operating panel of the printer for the error message.
Getting started17
Turning the copier on and off
Switching on the copier involves:
■
turning on the scanner
■
turning on the printer (see page 20).
Once the system has been turned on, it is ready for operation. In this state, the
machine is in stand-by mode. There is no need to turn it off after each copy job.
You can leave the copier turned on for the rest of the day. The Océ 9400-II is
ready for operation at all times.
If the copier is idle for more than 1 minute, the operating panel automatically
returns to stand-by mode. The scanner's operating panel is activated in the
following situations:
■

Connect the printer to your host
environment
The Océ 9400-II supports several types of interfaces (Centronics, Ethernet 10
& 100 Mb/s, TCP/IP). Novell and Ethertalk are supported through the optional
print server.
To ensure proper operation, please follow the steps below when connecting
your host to the Océ 9400-II.
1
Make sure that both the host and the Océ 9400-II are turned OFF. See
‘Centronics’ on pa ge23 or ‘SCSI-2’ on pa ge25.
2

corresponding interface connector to the Océ 9400-II (see ‘Centronics’ on
page 23 or ‘SCSI-2’ on pa ge25).
3
Turn on the Océ 9400-II (see ‘Centronics’ on pa ge23 or ‘Ethernet’ on
page 27).

Supported printing protocols
In addition to TCP\IP, the Océ 9400-II supports the following printing
protocols: LPD, FTP, SMB (also known as LAN Manager or Windows
networking). Simultaneous multiple protocols and users are supported.
Preferred printing solution
Windows network
■
Use Windows printing through SMB to print directly to the printer from your
workstation(s).
■
If you experience problems connecting to the printer through SMB, or if you
want to centralize printing on a server, you can install the printer on the
server (for example, using a local connection to an lpr port) and then share it

TCP/IP network.
■
TCP/IP is commonly used for the Unix, Win 95/98/NT and OS/2 operating
systems. For Win 95/98, LPD is not standard and must be supplied by third
parties. Contact your local service organization to determine the availability
of third party shareware or freeware. Use lpd or ftp (in that order of
preference).
