1 Product Overview

1.1Product Description

Thank you for selecting the Arizona 600 printer from Océ Display Graphics Systems.
The Arizona 600 printer is a precision-crafted printer and must be operated in accordance
with environmental and safety requirements as noted in this document. You must comply
with these requirements as a condition of receipt and installation of the printer.

The Arizona 600 printer is a 1.9 m (75-inch) wide format printer that delivers resolutions
up to 617 DPI using ColorBlend
Print speeds are 11.6 m2 (125 square feet) per hour to 46.5 m2 (500 square feet) per hour.

The self-contained Arizona 600 printer uses solvent-based pigmented inks and is designed

to minimize fume exposure. The printer can print on a variety of roll-based uncoated vinyl
and paper-based ink-jet media. Some of the uses for this printer include:

• Outdoor backlit kiosks

• Exhibit graphics

• Banners

™ six-color (Super CMYK) color-print technology.

•Posters

• Backlit displays

• Point-of-purchase advertising

•Vehicle wraps

The internal hard drive enables reprinting without reprocessing (printing of multiple
copies) from the easy-to-use push-button control panel located on the upper right side of
the unit.

1.1.1Unique Features

The printer utilizes four print heads per color, enabling production-speed printing. The
print heads are positioned on a covered carriage assembly in six parallel rows. The color
order on the print head carriage from top to bottom as viewed from the front of the
printer is cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light magenta, and light cyan.

Other features include:

• High Speed/High Quality Printing: With 504 nozzles per color (total of
3024 nozzles), the Arizona 600 printer delivers fast print speeds with high­quality text and bold, vivid graphics.

• Semi-Enclosed: Semi-contained and ventilated, this configuration speeds
the drying process and minimizes operator exposure to ink fumes.

12/9/04 1-1

Océ | Product Overview

• Automated Maintenance Routines: Automatic functions reduce the typical
manual maintenance required by the operator.

• Auto-Gap Control: Automatically adjusts the print gap to optimize output
quality, based on media profiles.

• 20-Micron (Average) Feed Accuracy: A patented system automatically
positions the heads to the media between passes to accommodate any variation
in the media, delivering superb image quality.

• Piezo Print-Head Technology: Industrial-grade print heads are designed for
high-speed production printing.

• ColorBlend Six-Color Technology: Adds light cyan and light magenta to
widen the color gamut and provide over-all smoothness and increased detail in
light- to mid-tone colors.

• Hot-Swap Ink Delivery System: Enables ink bottles to be replaced on-the-fly
without stopping the printer.

• On-Board 74-GB Hard Drive: Enables the printing, and reprinting of
multiple copies without reprocessing.

• Low-Voltage Differential SCSI-3: Communication from a host computer
enables fast data transmission using a cable up to 12 meters (40 feet) long.

• Two-Sided Printing Capability: The media drive and take-up path enables
manual refeeding for duplex printing on select media.

• Media Versatility: Accepts media from 0.91 meters to 1.9 meters (36 inches to
75 inches) wide.

•IR Heater
The IR heater is an infrared device that promotes the ink drying process inside
the printer. The heater operates automatically and does not require operator
intervention.

When the IR heater is active during printing, the control panel displays a
status message on the far right, such as IR:135°.

As a safety precaution, an interlock powers Off the IR heater when the front
door is opened.

•Print & Go
The media loading procedure for Print & Go mode is documented in "Print
& Go Media Installation" on page 3-17.

The Print & Go feature includes an external media take-up unit (EMTU).
Also included is a rubber feed roller and a pinch roller assembly inside the
printer to guide printed media onto the external media take-up unit. The
Arizona 600 printer can be run with media routed to the EMTU or to the

1-2

Print & Go

Roller Holder

Product Description

conventional internal take-up roll mandrel. The EMTU contains a holder for
either component that is not in use (see Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1 Print & Go Roller or Mandrel Holder

Firmware changes that accommodate the Print & Go feature present a few operational
changes, including:

• Whenever the ADVANCE MEDIA button is used to reposition the media, no
readjustment of the position occurs at the beginning of the next print. The
effect of this button is the same as if the user pressed the CANCEL button to
terminate the ADVANCE MEDIA function.

• Océ strongly recommends that only a small amount of media be rewound
using the ADVANCE MEDIA button because the exposed media may not
track smoothly back through the printer.

• When loading media in Print & Go mode, the operator can ignore the take-up
roll diameter question because that diameter is not used.

• The MEDIA USED value (feet/meters) is not displayed on the control panel.

• Every print should pass through the dry cycle to prevent wet ink from
offsetting onto the lower black roller. If another print is in the queue prior to
a print being cancelled, the operator is given the option to continue drying or
to cancel the print and allow the next image to begin printing.

Important: If the operator cancels a print before the drying cycle is complete, the media

must not be advanced. Otherwise, ink will be transferred to the lower black
roller.

Océ | Product Overview

1.2Operator Requirements

Operators are responsible for the operation and, from time to time, performance of routine
printer maintenance. Operator maintenance schedule guidelines are included in this
manual (see "Maintenance Guidelines" on page 5-1 and Appendix B). The diligent
application of these guidelines is essential to the optimum performance from your printer.

Important: The Arizona 600 printer requires two individuals for loading and unloading

media.

1.3Consumable Supplies

In addition to ink, a number of consumable supplies are required to maintain optimal print
quality. These items can be obtained from the Supplies department. You will be provided a
contact name and phone number when your printer is installed. The consumable items
include the following:

• Ink filters (OIN #3012001622), refer to "Ink Filter Changes" on page 2-4

• Capping station pads (OIN #3012001442), refer to "Capping Station
Maintenance" on page 5-8

• System Air Filters (OIN #3011570041), refer to "Purolator Hi-40 Filters" on
page 5-18

• Air Pressure Pump Line Filter (OIN #3011695043), refer to "Air Pressure
Pump Line Filter" on page 5-19

Switching On or Off

1.4Switching On or Off

The printer is to be powered On/Off only by a trained and qualified service technician (see
Figure 1-2). Position the power cord so that it does not pose a hazard when someone walks
around or accesses the doors on the printer

Important: Full-time AC power is required to maintain negative pressure on the inkjet

heads. Without this pressure, ink will drain out of the heads until the ink
reservoirs are empty. If not rectified, permanent damage to the heads could
occur.

The printer may contain a battery back-up vacuum control option to
maintain negative pressure for approximately 48 to 72 hours. This vacuum
backup is intended for emergency use only during power outage.

1.5Precautionary Measures

The battery back-up vacuum control option prevents ink from draining out of the reservoirs
for 48 to 72 hours if an AC power outage occurs. This back-up option is intended for
emergency use only. If the printer will be without power for a longer period of time, all ink
must be flushed from the system. Contact your Customer Service representative to perform
this function.

The battery back-up unit power switch should always be in the ON (up) position to protect
the system and charge the battery. The battery should maintain the printer vacuum for 48
to 72 hours. It is normal for the vacuum pump to run continuously when the printer has

12/9/04 1-5

Océ | Product Overview

lost power and running on battery back-up. If the power switch is left in the OFF (down)
position, the printer will not be protected and the battery will eventually discharge (see
Figure 1-3).

Power Switch

B

Figure 1-3 Battery Back-up Option

To verify the battery back-up unit is functional, perform the following steps:

1. Power down the printer.

The battery back-up unit should power up the vacuum pump immediately upon
losing power. If the vacuum pump does not start running, check the position of the
battery back-up power switch. If the vacuum pump fails to run with the switch in
either position, the battery may be discharged and require charging.

2. Power the printer back up.

The battery back-up unit should power down the vacuum pump immediately upon
the return of system power.

If the printer does not have the battery back-up vacuum control option and must be
powered off for more than two hours, you must call your Customer Service representative
to flush all ink from the system.

Though powered on, if the printer will not be printing for a period longer than two weeks,
contact your Customer Service representative to flush all ink from the system.

For personal safety, the operator must wear the following safety gear when handling inks:

•Rubber gloves

• Protective apron

• NIOSH-approved respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator)

• Safety glasses with side shields

The liquid ink and its fumes are combustible. They may also cause eye and skin irritation
upon prolonged or repeated contact. Ink may be absorbed through the skin and the fumes
cause respiratory system irritation and nervous system impairment.

2.1.1Ink Supply Tray

The ink supply tray is located at the lower left end of the printer (see Figure 2-1). Observe
all bottle locations and warning labels on and around the ink supply tray.

2.1.2Cleaning Fluid or Capping Fluid and Waste Bottles

The cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series inks) is used
to supply and preserve the capping station foam pads during operation of the printer (see
Figure 2-2). The cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series
inks) tray has a level sensing device to detect when the bottle is empty. When notification
is received from the printer, the operator must refill the cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series
inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series inks) bottle.

The waste bottle collects the purged ink from the capping station. The waste bottle tray has
a level sensing device to detect when the bottle is full. If the waste bottle appears full or the
printer control panel is signaling that the bottle requires emptying, then do so in accordance
with state and local laws or in accordance with the MSDS sheets (see Figure 2-2).

2.2Ink Supply Changes

Waste Bottle

To reduce the chance of poor image quality, do not shake the ink supply bottles before
installation or during printing. Shaking does not improve ink consistency but may
introduce unwanted air bubbles into the ink system. Follow these steps to correctly replace
the ink supply bottles:

Follow the control panel message and/or go to the Ink Menu to select the color ink to install
or replace.

Ink Supply Changes

1. Locate the container on the ink supply tray that requires replacement and remove the
cap and ink pick-up tube from the bottle (see Figure 2-3). Remove the empty bottle.

Figure 2-3 Supply Ink

2. The barcode on each bottle must be scanned each time a new bottle of ink is added
to the printer (see Figure 2-4). For additional information about scanning the
barcode and ink bottle installation (see "Ink Bottle Installation" on page 4-28).

Figure 2-4 Scanning the Ink Barcode

3. Remove the ink bottle cap and protective cover on the new ink supply bottle. Place
it on the ink supply tray and insert the ink pick-up tube and cap. It should be placed
loosely back on top of the bottle but not screwed down. If the cap seals too tightly,
the printer may not pump the ink to the reservoirs.

2.3Ink Filter Changes

The ink filter (OIN #3012001622) can easily be changed without mess by using the
following procedure.

Note: The ink filter must be changed after four bottles of ink have been filtered.

The use of personal protection consistent with the safety recommendations noted at the
beginning of this chapter is strongly recommended.

1. Remove the ink bottle from the printer and sit on the floor near the end of the
printer.

Gently pull the filter away from the bulkhead and out of the printer.

Note: Observe the ink flow direction arrow on the filters for proper orientation.

2. With the new filter in hand next to old filter, remove the tube from the top of the
old filter and place on the top of the new filter (see Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6).

3 Media System

3.1Media Specifications

For detailed media specifications, refer to "Arizona 600 Technical Specifications" on
page 1-7.

3.2Media Handling

The Arizona 600 printer loads and prints centered on the media. Do not attempt to left
or right justify the media during installation. Take-up cores should always be the same
width as the supply media, and the attached media should be centered on the take-up
core. The supply media is mounted from the rear of the printer, while the take-up is
located at the front just behind the IR heater door. Dancer rollers are positioned between
the vacuum platen and both the supply and take-up media mandrels to aid in correctly
tensioning the media during printing.

To ensure the highest quality printing, protect the media coating and store it at the
recommended temperature and humidity. Media should be stored in a horizontal
position and conditioned to the printer environment. Place media in the same room as
the printer for 2 to 24 hours before use.
