Introduction
This manual provides the operator with information about the following
Océ Arizona 400 Series UV flatbed inkjet printers:
•
Océ Arizona® 440 GT/XT
• Océ Arizona® 460 GT/XT
• Océ Arizona® 480 GT/XT
The operational features of these printer models are similar. The XT
models have a larger table than the GT models. The main functional
differences between models are based on the number of printheads and
therefore the available channels for ink and varnish. The table below
provides an indication of the possible ink and varnish output that each
model is capable of supporting.

This manual uses the terms Océ Arizona 400 Series GT or Océ Arizona 400
Series XT to refer to these printers generally. The specific model printer
name will depend on the configuration selected. Also, the 4 channel printer
can be upgraded to 6, and the 6 channel printer can be upgraded to 8
channels.
This manual orients you to the many features and procedures that allow
you to print professional quality images on various media with these
printers.

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 print shop 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
50.8mm (2.0 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 the Océ Media Guide for more
details on recommended media.
http://mediaguide.oce.com/
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 Thrive® or ProductionHouse® . For any operator
unfamiliar with these applications, ONYX 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.

User Manual: Arizona (AZ) 440 GT, AZ 440 XT, AZ 460 GT, AZ 460 XT, AZ 480 GT, AZ 480 XT - Rev. B, 4/2013
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
Troubleshooting and Maintenance sections 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.

UV Ink and Flush
Introduction
The safety concerns involved with the handling and use of the UV ink and
Flush are detailed in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) documents.
Review them before handling any UV ink or flush.
NOTE
The MSDS for all UV inks and Flush are available from the corporate Océ
Global E-Marketing (GEM) website. For the latest MSDS and PSDS, visit:
http://global.oce.com/support/
CAUTION
UV inks can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow the MSDS
guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
Personal Safety
The operator must wear nitrile gloves, a protective apron, and safety
glasses with side shields when handling 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 are provided with all
inks and flush when you purchase them.
Print Height Warning
Avoid printing at a height greater than recommended as this causes
excessive emmsisions of UV light and ink mist. Always measure the
thickness of the media in use and set the carriage height correctly for that
media.
Disposal of UV Ink
All waste containing uncured or partly cured UV ink is hazardous and must
be disposed of separately according to local regulations. Do not mix ink
waste with non-hazardous waste (household, office, etc.). Do not allow it to
reach sewage systems or drinking water supplies. Ink waste includes
maintenance pads and cloths, gloves and any other material containing
uncured or partly cured UV ink.
Disposal must be made according to official local regulations.

UV Curing System
Introduction
UV-curable ink need a high energy level of UV light to cure. The UV curing
system is made up of two mercury arc lamps attached to the carriage.
How to Handle UV Lamp: UV lamps operate at high temperatures. Never
touch a lamp in operation. Let the lamps cool for a minimum of five
minutes before attempting any maintenance. Use extreme care in handling
the UV lamp bulbs. The UV bulbs contain a small amount of metallic
mercury which is toxic when ingested, handled, or breathed. Therefore, if
bulbs are broken, care should be taken to clean up the spill immediately,
and then disposed of according to local regulations concerning Mercury
disposal.
Bare skin contact with the UV lamp bulbs must be avoided. When heated,
compounds from the skin can form permanent etching on the surface of
the UV bulb. A contaminated bulb may fail prematurely.
Ozone: As a UV lamp warms up, it briefly passes through a section of the
light spectrum which excites oxygen molecules enough to create ozone.
Once a UV lamp has completely warmed up, only very minute amounts of
ozone are present.
NOTE
A high concentration of ozone can cause irritation, headaches or nausea.
Provide adequate ventilation as indicated in the Site Preparation Guide.
CAUTION
Warning for Seated Individuals: UV emissions are highest at a height of
90 cm (35 inches) above the floor. This can be an issue for individuals
seated near the printer.Remove all chairs within 5 meters (16 feet) of the
printer.
IMPORTANT
The UV Lamps contain Mercury. Dispose according to local
environmental regulations.
Personal Safety
UV Light Emissions can be harmful:
Protective measures are essential in the workplace. Use the UV safety
glasses with side shields supplied with the printer. Wear appropriate

clothing that protects the skin from UV light exposure. Keep a distance of
at least 1 m (3 ft) from UV lamps while printing.
NOTE
Wear Industrial Protective Eyewear with lenses that block both UVA and
UVB. Gloves and long-sleeved work clothes are essential to reduce the
skin's exposure to UV emissions.

Safety Interlock System
Introduction
The printer has three Emergency-Stop buttons. The Maintenance Station
drawer is part of the safety interlock system. A beacon light indicates the
status of the safety system and the printer.
Components of the Interlock System
Emergency Stop Buttons:
These are located on the Operator Control Station, and on each end of the
Gantry. Activating an Emergency-Stop button stops all printer motion and
turns off the UV curing system.
To re-activate the printer after you press an Emergency Stop button, turn
the button counter-clockwise. Upon release of the button, no motion can
be initiated without acknowledgment of the Operator from the Control
Station.
Maintenance Station Interlock Function:
The Maintenance Station is located under the carriage and provides access
to perform Printhead Maintenance and swab printheads. Carriage and
Gantry motion motors are disabled and UV lamps are turned off (if they
were On), when the station drawer is open. The Interlock system is
automatically reset when the drawer is closed.
Beacon Light Status
A green beacon light is mounted to the top surface of the printer carriage.
The purpose of this light is to indicate basic printer status to the operator.
Beacon off: indicates the printer can be approached without caution. The
machine cannot initiate movement since the interlock Safety System has
disabled all motion and hazardous hardware.
Beacon on: indicates the printer is powered up and ready to initiate
motion. This tells an operator to approach the machine with caution,
because it can initiate motion at any moment.

Océ Arizona 400 Series Safety Labels
Introduction
The safety labels are placed at strategic locations on the printer to warn
the operator of possible dangers and hazards. It is important to be aware
of the meaning of these labels to ensure safe operation of the printer.

Safety Awareness
Introduction
This section contains two sets of principles that must be followed to assure
maximum safety when operating your Océ Arizona printer. The first set
uses negative examples to show you things to avoid in order to prevent
injury to the operator. The second set of principles illustrates some of the
residual risks that are inherent in the operation of the printer. These are
situations or physical aspects of the printer that may present a potential
danger to the operator, but would compromise the capabilities of the
printer if changed. Therefore, they are pointed out as a precaution the
operator must be aware of when using the printer.
IMPORTANT
The photos in the following table illustrate situations that must be
avoided when operating your printer.
