Safety Information

This manual has three sections that contain details on safety when handling ink and using
the printer. Also, where applicable, cautions and warnings are used throughout this
manual to draw your attention to safety precautions.

■

"Safety Guidelines for Ink Materials" offers advice in the proper handling of UV inks;

■

"Interlock Safety System" explains the safety features built in to the printer that prevent
and minimize access to Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal and UV hazards; and

■

"UV Curing System Safety" presents warning about the dangers of exposure to UV
light. Some of the material from that section are duplicated here.

Customer Service

If your printer malfunctions and you are unable to resolve the problem, field service
technicians can be dispatched to your site to conduct repairs. Service visits are paid for
by the customer, either under a maintenance agreement, by purchase order or prepayment.
Time and material rates are charged for any service not covered under a maintenance
agreement. Before calling to report a problem, gather as much information about the
problem as possible and have it ready to provide to your customer care center. The more
information you can provide initially, the more quickly the problem can be corrected.

Statement of Foreseen Use

The Océ Arizona flatbed inkjet printers are intended for use in a commercial printshop
environment. Factory-authorized training is made available for operators at the time of
installation. The printers use piezo printing technology and UV curable inks to produce
outdoor-durable output. They can print directly onto rigid and flexible media of up to
48 mm (1.89 inch) thickness. The printer holds the media stationary while the printhead
assembly moves across to create the print, eliminating image skew problems often associ­ated with rigid stock feed systems. With the Roll Media Option installed the printers can
also print on various roll media. See your local representative or visit http://medi­aguide.oce.com/ for more details on recommended media.

Responsibilities of the Operator

The printer operator must be properly trained. Océ provides training for the operator in
the use of the printer hardware and software at the time of installation. It is the customer's
responsibility to ensure that only properly trained personnel operate the printer. Operators
must be fully versed in the operation of ONYX ProductionHouse® . For any operator

Chapter 1 - Introduction 9

Preface

unfamiliar with its operation, ONYX ProductionHouse® training is required. Training
courses are available; contact your local Océ representative.
The operator or other trained personnel are expected to handle all user maintenance as
detailed in the User Manual, and also replacement of consumable parts (except print
heads). If your site has a technician in charge of printer maintenance, that person is the
optimal candidate. While any trained operator may perform routine maintenance, the
best maintenance results from familiarity with the printer's internal operation and history.
The printer requires daily printhead maintenance to ensure the highest print quality and
longer life for the printheads. The printer design provides you easy access to perform this
simple task and it is essential that printhead maintenance is performed at least once a day,
and more frequently if needed. Periodic cleaning must be scheduled for some components
on a regular basis. A few minutes spent cleaning also helps to ensure optimal printer
function and the highest quality prints.
It is the responsibility of the operator to try to eliminate simple problems before calling
a service representative. But knowing when to call for service is also important. An un­trained operator must not attempt to service the printer as this may cause further damage.
When you have determined that a service call is required, call as soon as possible. See the
Maintenance section for more details.

Responsibilities of the Service Technician

Field service technicians must have Océ Display Graphics Systems service training. The
service technician is responsible for all repairs, upgrading and modification requested by
the customer or mandated by the Océ Display Graphics Systems Service and Support
Group. The service technician who installs the printer will also provide training for the
operator that covers all of the basic skills required to operate the printer. Service personnel
are furnished with proper tools for the installation and maintenance of the printer. In
addition to the tools and custom kits, each engineer will have basic tools for proper
maintenance and servicing.

Printer Specifications

Introduction

The Océ Arizona 200/250/300/350 GT and Océ Arizona 350 XT are four or five color
flatbed inkjet printers capable of producing large format images on various rigid and
flexible media (the 200 GT and 250 GT models are CMYK only, while the 300 GT,
350 GT and 350 XT can include white with the white ink option). The printers consists
of a flatbed vacuum table and moving gantry. The material is held flat and stationary on
the vacuum table during printing. The gantry contains a carriage that sweeps across the
table as the gantry moves in steps along the length of the table to print an image on the
media. In addition to the benefits of stationary positioning, the use of UV ink technology
on rigid material eliminates finishing processes such as mounting and lamination. A Roll
Media Option is available for all printer models.

Note:

The printers must be operated in accordance with the environmental conditions specified
in the Océ Arizona 200/250/350GT & 350XT Site Preparation Guide and also the
safety requirements noted in this document.

Image Processing
Software

Océ VariaDot™ Variable Droplet Imaging Technology

The Océ Océ Arizona 200/250/300/350 GT offers superior print quality and ink economy
through the use of Océ VariaDot imaging technology, the next evolution in piezoelectric
inkjet technology that enables a print head to produce droplets of varying volume. This
differs from the current piezoelectric print head technology that is restricted to the use

Chapter 2 - Product Overview24

Printer Specifications

of fixed droplets. The use of variable sized droplets results in dots on the media of varying
size (area) and density which in turn allows the use of four-color (CMYK) printing for
all image features. Using Océ VariaDot imaging technology results in excellent print
quality and a superior ink economy over 6-color printing systems.

Océ VariaDot imaging technology allows piezoelectric print heads to produce droplets
of varying volume on demand. This allows the ONYX™ ProductionHouse software to
specify the appropriate droplet size for each specific image feature. When imaging fine
detail such as small type or fine lines, very small droplets can be used, when imaging areas
of tonal transition or quarter-tone values such as skin tones drops of medium volume can
be used and when printing areas of high density such as solid colors, large droplets can
be used.

Océ VariaDot™ for Improved Image Quality

Océ VariaDot imaging technology can be compared to painting a room in your house.
You use a large brush size for quick coverage over large areas and a much smaller, finer
brush for detailed areas. Trying to paint a large wall with a tiny brush would result in
many artefacts and trying to paint a fine fresco trim with a large brush would be very
frustrating. In the same way, Océ VariaDot uses the appropriate size droplet for each
specific image feature resulting in the best possible image quality in every part of the
printed image.

Océ VariaDot™ for Reduced Ink Consumption

A significant benefit of Océ VariaDot imaging technology is that it allows the use of only
four inks (CMYK) for all areas of the printed image. This is very significant to the user
in terms of ink consumption per square meter because the current "de facto standard" in
the industry is six-color piezoelectric printing. This older technology uses lighter versions
of Cyan and Magenta inks, often referred to commercially as "Light Cyan" and "Light
Magenta" to overcome the image quality problem previously associated with four-color
(CMYK only) printing.

Safety Guidelines for Ink Materials

Introduction

This section outlines the safety concerns involved with the handling and use of the UV
ink and Flush for the Océ Arizona 200/250/300/350 GT printer. Read all of the material
in this section and also review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) documents before
handling any UV ink or using the printer. Always ensure that visitors are escorted and
warned of the possible hazards from ink contamination.

Note:

The full text of the MSDS for all UV inks and Flush is found in the Customer Support
section of the ODGS web site:
http://www.dgs.oce.com/PrinterSupport/PrinterSupportUser_index.htm

Caution:

Both UV inks and the curing lamps can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow these
guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.

Personal Safety

The operator should wear nitrile gloves, a protective apron, and safety glasses with side
shields when handling inks.

Note:

Warning for Seated Individuals- The UV Curing System on the Océ Arizona
200/250/300/350 GT generates hazardous levels of thermal, electrical and UV energies.
UV light exposure is at it's worst for individuals in a seated position (Table Height of
90cm). Do not sit within 5 metres of the printer and do not look at the UV lamps if
your eyes are positioned below the level of the printer table.

Ventilation and Room Volume

The printer should operate in an area where a good standard of general ventilation is
available at 5 to 10 air changes per hour. Mechanical Ventilation must be added where
the air changes are less than 5 per hour.

Handling UV Inks

Read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the MSDS for each ink. Post these
documents in the work area as required by prevailing law. MSDS for all inks are provided
when you purchase inks. The following is a summary of the important safety aspects of
the MSDS that are common to all UV inks.

There is no one glove material or combination of materials that will
give unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of chemicals.
The selection of single or multi-use gloves is dependent upon the level
of exposure (nitrile/neoprene gloves will last longer than latex/rubber).
The performance or effectiveness of the glove may be reduced by
physical/ chemical damage and poor maintenance. Always ensure that
gloves are free from defects and that they are stored and used correctly.
Gloves should be replaced regularly and if there is any sign of damage
to the glove material. Hands should be inspected on a regular basis for
any signs of skin damage or inflammation.

of hands

Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has
to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has
to be observed.
In general, with the recommended nitrile gloves, replace the glove
within a few minutes if it is contaminated with ink.
Do not reuse single-use gloves
Do not handle prints without gloves if ink is not properly cured.
