Notes on the Printing System Documentation — Overview

Guide through the Documentation

Introduction

Documentation available to you on the Océ ColorStream includes a printed user guide

and help on the operator panel. This help is updated with every new version of the oper-

ator panel software.

Security

This section gives you all necessary information on how to safely and efficiently operate

the printing system.

Description of the printing system

This section shows the structure of the printing system, describes the operating elements

and explains the printing principle. You will also find information on paper types and

how to handle the paper.

Description of the Operator Panel

This section describes the individual areas of the operator panel with the most important

menus, buttons and icons.

Working with the operator panel

This section explains how you manage all user settings, how you select or enter parameters

on the operator panel, how you collect special settings for frequently recurring print jobs

using setups, how you manage resources for printing operation and how you replace

consumables and expendables using the operator panel.

Operating the printing system

This section describes how to power the printing system on and off and the procedure

for inserting, affixing and removing the paper web, and also contains all other information

that you will need to operate the printing system.

Cleaning the printing system

This section shows you how often to clean the different components and how to carry

out this cleaning.

Notes on Help

Notes on the Help - Overview

Help target group

This Help is designed for the "Operator" and "Key Operator" user groups. This Help

should enable an "Operator" or "Key Operator" to use the printing system safely, appro-

priately and efficiently.

Océ service documentation is available for Service.

Contents of Help

This Help describes the printing system and operator panel with the following main groups:

■

'General'

■

'VarioStream' or 'ColorStream' or 'JetStream'

■

'Paperpath Manager'

■

With Océ VarioStream 9000 CustomTone or full-color printing systems and with Océ ColorStream, also: 'Web Buffer'

Any connected pre- and post-processing devices are not covered in this Help. It is assumed

that the user is able to operate these devices properly and observes the safety instructions

in the relevant documentation sources for these pre- and post-processing devices.

Introduction

If not indicated otherwise, diagrams and illustrations of actions depict the starting position

of the respective component for the described step.

To ease understanding, the illustrations depict the components that are directly relevant

to the immediate context in a larger line thickness.

Note:

As a result of the continuous technical further development, it may be that some of the

details on the images in the documentation are not always completely up-to-date with

the delivered printing system.

Arrows

Arrows denote the positions where you should perform an action or observe something

in particular. The colors of the arrows denote the type of actions and the sequence in

which they are performed:

MeaningArrow

Black arrow: Direction arrow Perform this action first

Grey arrow: Direction arrow Perform this action next

If further actions are depicted in an illustration, the numbers on the arrows indicate the sequence of these further actions.

White arrow: Note arrow An action should be performed in this area.

Overview Graphics

To provide a clear overview, the VarioStream 9000 and ColorStream printing systems

also indicate the side of the printing system where the action is to be performed.
