loose belts, rings and unprotected long hair. These can catch in the drive mechanisms or
moving parts of the printing system and cause injury.
Safety covers
Do not attempt to remove safety covers yourself; do not manipulate safety equipment
such as the switches monitoring the safety covers, fuses etc., and do not perform any work
not intended to be performed by operators. Such action can cause accidents and may also
damage the printing system.
Safe operation of the printing system is guaranteed only when the outer paneling is fully mounted. Only properly and fully affixed casing ensures:
Protection from electrical shocks
Protection against injury from mechanical parts, e.g. cuts, drawing in, crushing
Protection against the spread of fire
Sufficient cooling of the printing system.
Keep all doors, trims, flaps and covers closed while the printing system is in operation.
This ensures that limit values for electromagnetic compatibility are not exceeded. Noise
emission is also minimized.
Chapter 2 - Safety 39
Operation
Page 40
Cleaning
Always use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a grounded suction tube, rubber nozzle and filter set for fine dust. An explosion-proof industrial vacuum cleaner must be used for large toner quantities because there can be a high build-up of static charge when draining toner spill.
When cleaning the printing system, observe the instructions in the following sections:
‘Cleaning the Printing System — Overview’ on page 268
‘Cleaning Agents and Cleaning Intervals’ on page 270
Foreign bodies, noises
Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry chains, paper clips, coins etc.) or liquids get into the interior of the printing system, since this may result in electric shocks or short circuits. Do not place objects on the printing system, and especially do not place containers with fluid, such as drinking bottles, glasses, cups or vases on top of or in the immediate vicin­ity of the printing system.
Should the printing system emit any unusual or noticeable noises or smells, power off the printing system and contact your Service engineer.
Cooling, Heat, Emissions
Do not obstruct the cooling ducts, since this may result in overheating or combustion while the device is in operation.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air and cooling air to the room in which the printing system is located (see ‘Cooling air, fresh air, and air purity’ on page 502).
Do not obstruct the operating and maintenance areas of the Océ ColorStream printing system with other devices or objects.
During operation, the inner area of the fuser module in the printing system becomes very hot (greater than 500°C/932°F). Before doing any work on or around the fuser module, always allow it to cool down for the specified length of time. Failure to observe the direc­tives in this documentation could result in burns.
The ozone produced when the photoconductor and transfer belts are loaded is suctioned off within the printing system and then transformed into oxygen through a catalytic filter
Chapter 2 - Safety40
Operation
Page 41
system. The life cycle of the filter system is designed so that it does not have to be replaced
during the lifetime of the printing system.
During printing, the ozone concentration is below the maximum allowable work place
concentration (MAC) of 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3). With proper ventilation, harmful con-
centrations do not occur even if the filter system fails entirely. For ventilation, see ‘Cooling
air, fresh air, and air purity’ on page 502.
Consumables and Expendables
Observe the safety directives given in the manual for:
Toner
Developer
Fine filter
Photoconductor belt
Transfer belt
Cleaning agent
Keep all consumables for the printing system out of the reach of children. Store consum-
ables away from containers used for food and drink.
Optical wave guide
If your printing system has an optical wave guide connection:
Never look directly down a glass fiber cable or glass fiber cable connection. The laser
beams in fiber optic devices can injure your eyes.
Laser
If the printing system includes a laser:
Never look directly into a laser beam or laser optics. Never move a tool into the area of
the laser beam so that you do not unintentionally diffract the laser beam. The laser beams
in fiber optic devices can injure your eyes.
Remote control via LAN
If you operate the printing system from a remote operator panel:
The access ticket ensures that only one user at a time can access the printing system.
Warning and Information Signs
Observe all warning and information signs on and in the printing system (see ‘Warning

Transportation, assembly and installation, repair
Transport
The printing system may only be transported by Service personnel or authorized transport companies.
Assembly and installation
Observe the following instructions when assembling and installing the printing system:
The printing system may only be assembled and installed by Service personnel.
The printing system must have a dedicated electrical connection or type B plug con­nection (complying with VDE directives, EN 60950).
Do not route the lines and cables in such a way that they can be trodden on or tripped over.
A fume hood should be installed over the fuser module (without a security detector). In very seldom cases, paper that has been caught in the fuser module will be damaged by the infrared fusing and will begin to smoke. However, even in this case there is no danger of fire because the affected component is immediately isolated from the remain­ing printing system by sealed bulkheads. This bulkhead is part of a proven safety concept and does not affect the availability of the printing system after the jammed paper has been removed.
All printing system accessories and options must comply with statutory regulations and directives for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, telecommunications terminal devices as well as with the specifications published by Océ Printing Systems GmbH.
The installation of other accessories may constitute a violation of these requirements and directives, and may also damage the printing system.
Consult Service personnel for details on which accessories and options are permitted for the printing system.
With the exception of optical wave guide connections, all data, signaling, process, measurement and control lines mapping the printing system with other devices must be properly grounded.
Data transmission lines should neither be connected nor disconnected during electrical storms.
Repairs
Repairs to the printing system must only be carried out by Service personnel. Access to locked areas and areas which can only be opened with special tools is reserved for Service personnel. Opening the device without authorization and improperly effected repairs may put operators at considerable risk.

Printing method
Introduction
The print image is created through an electrophotographic printing process with LED print heads and two-component developers.
With a full color printing system, the colors are generated using the subtractive color mixing technique, using the color separations cyan, magenta and yellow:
To reduce the coverage and achieve a greater depth with dark colors, black is also used as the fourth color.
Printing Process
#
DescriptionLevel
The rastered controller pages are written to the photoconductor belt with the LED print head.
During bilevel printing, each dot can be assigned either 100% color or 100% white (= LED in LED print head on or off).
During multilevel printing, the light intensity of each LED can range between 16 brightness levels. This dot modulation allows continuous runs.

Transfer is from the transfer belt to the paper web. In double-sided print operation, the upper and the lower printed page are transferred at the same time.
Single color printing: Black/White Printing System For single color printing, the inked image pattern is transferred from the transfer belt to the paper web. The transfer roller point remains swiveled onto the paper web and paper transport is not stopped.
Color collection mode: Full-color or CustomTone printing system The colored image patterns for the individual colors are first collected on the transfer belt and then transferred together to the paper web. During the collection process, the transfer roller point is swiveled off from the paper web and paper transport is stopped (Start/Stop oper­ation).

Paper specifications
General information
To ensure maximum system availability, the paper for the Océ ColorStream printing systemmust comply with the applicable paper specifications and be stored in an environ­ment with suitable ambient conditions.
Non-compliance with the paper specifications can cause damage to the printing system and may also result in the release of substances from the paper that can contaminate the environment or have a detrimental effect on health. Océ Printing Systems GmbHaccepts no liability for such damages.
The printing system is designed to process a wide range of paper types. However, the operational properties of the printing system and the print quality also depend on factors such as:
Paper quality
Grammage
Moisture content
Dimensional stability
Smoothness, etc.
Before using new media, ensure that they comply with the paper specifications. If in doubt, please contact the paper laboratory at:
Océ Printing Systems GmbH Papierlabor Postfach 1260 85581 Poing Germany
Paper types
All media that comply with the requirements of the electrophotographic printing method can be used in all specified formats and paper weights.
Using other paper qualities may result in reduced operational results, lower availability and possibly also higher usage of consumables and expendables.
Paper handling
The climate (temperature and relative humidity) of the storeroom and processing room is of major importance in ensuring optimum paper processing. Unsuitable conditions
Chapter 3 - Description of the Printing System78
Paper specifications
Page 79
can, for example, give the paper an excessive curl, make it bumpy, or alter its electrical resistance.
Observe the following guidelines to ensure that the original high quality of the paper is not impaired in any way.
Store the paper in its packaging until it is used.
Do not store paper on the floor or next to walls, or in the vicinity of water pipes, radi­ators, ventilators, windows (sunlight) etc.
Do not store paper in rooms in which the ambient conditions are subject to constant change.
Before you use the paper, store it (in its packaging) near the printing system for a few days if possible, or at least for 24 hours, to equalize temperature between paper and room temperature.
Do not unpack more paper than you need.
Always use opened boxes of paper first. If you have to store open packs over a longer period of time, cover the paper with protective film, so that no climate-related changes occur.
