indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in
European Directives.

By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer, his authorized representative, or the
person placing the product on the market or putting it into service ensures that the item
meets all the essential requirements of all applicable EU directives and that the
applicable conformity assessment procedures have been applied.

Your product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and
components, which can be recycled and reused.

When this crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product it means the
product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC – WEEE regulation.

Please inform yourself about the local separate collection system for electrical and
electronic products.

Please act according to your local rules and do not dispose of your old products with
your normal household waste. The correct disposal of your old product will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

Caution

• When performing an installation or an operation of the printer, be sure to follow the directions

and warnings mentioned in this book.

1.2 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

1.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
INSTRUCTIONS

In order to use the printer safely, the general notes which must be followed are explained.

Symbol Meaning

Indicates ‘prohibited’ operations.
Indicates required operations.

Caution

• When performing an installation or an operation of the printer, be sure to follow the directions

and warnings mentioned in this book.

Managing VOCs

Using Océ printers with Eco Solvent inks, volatile organic compounds will be released. (VOCs)
In order to protect human health and the environment, VOCs must be managed. This means VOCS need to
be controlled and complying with all local, state and federal environmental, occupational health, and safety
regulations on VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace is needed.
The amount of released VOCs depends on multiple factors: room volume, unforced ventilation, print mode,
number of printers in the room, heaters settings, kind of media, use of extra dryers, print production…
Because of differences in local regulations and working conditions, it’s recommended to consult a local
consultancy agency to determine the regulations involved. An acknowledged laboratory can determine the
total amount of released VOCs in the atmosphere and in the workplace. Consequently they can determine if
forced ventilation for occupational health and air pollution control devices are needed. An engineering firm
could be consulted on the installation of the ventilation system where prints are produced, handled and
stored.

Handling inks / cleaning + waste of inks / cleaning

Caution

• Before handling inks/ cleaning and their waste, do carefully read the MSDS-sheet and the

container labels for important health, safety and environmental information.

• Only use original manufacturer’s ink and appropriate cleaning liquid. Before installing the ink cassette,

shake it gently. Doing so will preserve print quality.

• When an ink cassette is moved from a cold place to warm place, keep the ink cassette for three hours or

more in the new printing environment before printing.

• Inks

o General advice

: wear safety glasses and gloves especially when handling the waste ink.

o After spill:

remove contaminated clothing.

o After inhalation

: if difficulties occur after vapour/aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and

seek medical attention.

o After skin contact

: wash thoroughly with soap and water.

o After eye contact

: wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water while eyelids held

open.

o After swallowing:

rinse mouth and drink plenty of water. Never induce vomiting.

4.2.3 Notes on handling media

Notes

• Use compatible media under an appropriate environment.

The appropriate temperature and humidity ranges for printing are shown below.

Temperature Humidity

Recommended range 22°C to 30°C 40% to 60%
Change rate Within 2°C per hour Within 5% per hour

• Do not use folded or torn media.

• The size of media can change according to temperature and humidity variations in the print

environment. Therefore, place the media minimum 30 minutes in the print environment before use, to
let it acclimatize to the print environment.

• Printing on media without having it acclimatized to the printing environment might cause media jams

and bad print quality, caused by media expansion or contraction.

• Media has a printable side and a non-printable side. Printing on the non-print side can cause blurs and

blots.

• Always handle media with dry and clean hands to avoid bad print quality.

• When the printer will be unused for more than 24 hours, remove the media to prevent media floating,

media jams, and degradation of the print quality.

• Avoid using media in cold places and dry places, especially when printing formal documents.

• Always store the media in its original packing material.

• Do not throw away the individual box and bag. Use them for storing media.

4.2.4 Notes on storing media

Notes

• Avoid storing media in rooms with high temperature and high humidity.

• Avoid direct sunlight on stored media.

• Always repack sheet media in its original packing and store it in a horizontal position.

• After removing the unused roll media from the scroller, wind it properly, wrap it in an individual bag and

store it in an individual box.

• Keep the media dry.

4.7.2.2 Advantages

1. Smoother images

WAVE stitching keeps the bleed between passes under control and makes colour banding less obvious.
Small misalignments of the heads are becoming less critical. Misfiring/missing nozzles are less visible in the
output.

2. Image printability

Images are easier to print with less signs of banding/bleeding. Some images can be printed at higher
speeds, without quality loss. Some difficult images become printable at faster speeds. Especially sign­images have a much smoother surface.

3. CS9160 = easier to use

The step-adjust is becoming less critical, making it a lot easier for the user to have good quality outputs.

4. Gamut Boost

Because of the previous benefits, we clearly see a colour gamut boost by using the WAVE stitching
technique in combination with dedicated profiles.

5. Application Compatibility

Thanks to WAVE stitching, it is possible to reach predictable output results.

4.7.2.3 WAVE stitching availability

There are a lot of different print modes available on the CS 9160. For each mode, 3 different wave patterns
can be chosen, resulting in different speeds. To make it much easier, only 6 combinations are recommended
by Océ.

Please find below an overview with recommended modes.
