Customer Support
Océ maintains a comprehensive support structure for its Arizona T220UV customers. Upon installation of your
printer, you will be provided with the name of the sales and service office responsible for your account. Record this
information, along with the serial number of your Arizona T220UV. Always report service problems to the office
assigned to your account at installation.
6 Chapter 1 Introduction
Customer Service
When you call our customer service number you will be provided with telephone technical support. Outside of
office hours, you can leave a message and your call will be returned the next working day. When you call, identify
yourself as an Arizona T220UV customer and provide the following information:
• The serial number of your Arizona T220UV
• Your company name and your name
• Your telephone number
• Nature of the problem
If we are unable to resolve your problem over the telephone, field engineers 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 the customer care center engineer. The more information you can provide initially, the more
quickly the problem can be corrected.
Responsibilities of the T220UV Operator
The operator of the Arizona T220UV must be properly trained. Océ provides training for the operator in the use of
the Arizona T220UV hardware and software at the time of installation. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure
that only properly trained personnel operate the printer.
Preface
Operators of the Arizona T220UV should be fully versed in the operation of Onyx PosterShop® . For any operator
unfamiliar with its operation, Onyx PosterShop® training is required. On-site or off-site training courses are
available; contact Onyx Graphics Corporation for more information:
http://www.onyxgfx.com/support_training.html
The operator or other trained personnel are expected to handle all user maintenance as detailed in the User Guide,
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 Arizona T220UV printer requires some daily maintenance. Periodic cleaning must be scheduled for some
components on a weekly basis. A few minutes spent cleaning ensures the highest quality prints. Several areas
require maintenance to ensure the highest print quality, and the printer design gives you easy access to all these
areas. Refer to the Arizona T220UV User Guide for details.
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 Maintenance section for more details.

Preface
Responsibilities of the T220UV Service Technician
Field service technicians must have Océ Arizona T220UV service training. The service technician is responsible
for all repairs, upgrading and modification requested by the customer or mandated by the Océ Service and Support
Group.
Service personnel are furnished with proper tools for the installation and maintenance of the Arizona T220UV
printer. In addition to the T220UV tools and custom kits, each engineer will have basic tools for proper maintenance
and servicing.
An Océ help desk consultant initially screens all customer calls. This means that a trained Océ Arizona T220UV
specialist with system training handles the calls and helps you understand your problem or situation. This process
minimizes the number of print quality issues that are not directly related to hardware. All hardware problems are
dispatched to field service technicians. If an on-site visit is required, the help desk technician can recommend parts
which then can be ordered, thus increasing efficiency in the service cycle.
Statement of Foreseen Use
The Océ Arizona T220UV flatbed inkjet printer uses piezo printing technology and UV curable inks to produce
outdoor-durable output. It can print directly onto rigid and flexible substrates up to 62 inches wide by 120 inches
long by 2 inches thick (1.6 m x 3 m x 5 cm).
The Océ Arizona T220UV holds substrates stationary while the print head assembly moves across to create the
print, eliminating image skew problems associated with rigid stock feed systems. It can print full bleeds, saving
time and labor costs in finishing.
With four print heads per color, the Océ ArizonaT220UV can produce prints at a production speed of up to 180
square feet (16.7 m2) per hour. It includes the unique Océ ColorBlend® super-CMYK technology, for an apparent
resolution of 600 dpi. The Océ Arizona T220UV uses UV curable pigmented inks, and can print directly onto a
variety of uncoated rigid or flexible substrates such as foam-core style mounting board, PVC sheets, styrene,
aluminum-plastic composites and vinyl.

12 Chapter 2 Product Overview
Océ ColorBlend® Six-Color Printing
Océ ColorBlend® technology uses the printer’s fifth and sixth ink stations to provide the appearance of continuous
tone color. It does this by adding lighter density cyan and magenta inks to the basic four CMYK (cyan, magenta,
yellow and black) inks to create a smoother appearance in the light and midtone colors, a wider color gamut and
crisper detail. The result is near-photographic quality output without the requirement of extremely high resolution
or true continuous tone.

Safety Guidelines
Safety Guidelines
Introduction
Read all of the material in this section and review the MSDS documents before handling any UV ink or using the
T220 UV printer.
Caution: Both UV inks and the curing lamps can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow these
guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
Personal Safety
The operator should wear butyl rubber gloves, a protective apron, a NIOSH-approved respirator (half-mask organic
vapor respirator), and Safety glasses with side shields when handling inks.
Personal Safety
The Arizona T220UV printer has an integrated safety interlock system that stops all machine motion when a
situation that might compromise operator safety occurs. Thus, opening any of the gantry doors (except during
authorized procedures), tripping the hinged gate on the gantry cover, or activating an Emergency-Stop button will
switch the Safety Monitoring Relay input circuits. This results in the system isolating the power to both the motion
control motors and the T220UV curing system (lamps). For a general description of how the safety interlock system
works, see “Safety Interlocks” and for a detailed technical description see Appendix B.
Handling UV Inks
Read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each ink. Post these
documents in the work area as required by prevailing law. MSDS for all six inks are provided when you purchase
inks. The following is a summary of the important safety aspects of the MSDS that are common to all UV inks.

UV Lamp Safety
UV Lamp Safety
Introduction
The Arizona T220UV printer is designed so that direct light from lamps is not visible and bounce (reflected) light
is minimized. UV lamps radiate harmful ultraviolet rays, which can cause serious burns to skin and eyes. While
thermal burns are felt immediately, UV burns are not felt for several hours. Short exposure to lamp radiation can
cause severe burning of skin and eyes. UV burn of the eyes affects the cornea and takes several days to heal. UV
burn is identical to "Welder's burn" and will feel like sand in the eyes that cannot be washed out. The discomfort is
transitory. Extreme caution must be taken - high power UV radiation can cause blindness.
Limited exposure to UV radiation will evoke erythema on normal skin. Such erythema is transitory and will not
produce blistering, nor tanning, as only a small amount of radiation penetrates the Malpighian layer. Extreme
caution must be taken since high power UV radiation can cause severe burns to the skin.
Note: The Arizona T220UV printer has a built-in interlock safety system that shuts down the UV lights if the gantry
doors are opened. This ensures that the operator is not exposed to potentially harmful UV rays from the lamps. The
section “Safety Interlocks” explains the interlock system and how it protects the operator from UV exposure.
Statement of UV Safety
UV Lamps: Superficial eye damage and burning of the skin can occur with even brief exposure to UV light. Serious
injuries can result from prolonged exposure, especially if unshielded. Some UV lamps operate at very high
temperatures (approximately 800° C). For this reason, never touch a lamp which has been in operation. Let the lamp
cool before attempting any maintenance, and then use extreme care in handling the bulbs. Most 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.
The UV Lamps emit dangerous levels of UV light. Arizona T220UV operators must limit their exposure to
UV/Blue light escaping from beneath the gantry hinged gates. The UV Radiation Hazards of the machine have been
measured according to EN12198 and are at safe levels outside the machine.
Gantry Cover Brush: The Brushes are used as a UV Shield to prevent stray UV light escaping from the front and
back of the gantry, while still allowing adequate media clearance. The brushes must be replaced if they become
contaminated or deformed by any means. The brushes must be replaced at least every two years, or sooner if they
become contaminated or deformed in any way.

22 Chapter 3 Safety Information
Handling UV lamps
Bare skin contact with the UV lamps must be avoided. Replacement lamps must be wiped with the supplied
cleaning solution before placing in service. Compounds from the skin when heated on lamps operating at 600 to
850C will form permanent etching (devitrification) on the quartz surface decreasing UV energy transmission. A
contaminated lamp eventually may overheat, causing premature failure.
When unpacking the lamps, the carton should be opened fully so lamp can be lifted out of packaging with no
twisting or pulling. Unpacking should take place in an area large enough to eliminate the possibility of inadvertently
striking lamp against walls, pillars, pipes, beams or press machinery.
Ozone Safety
Tri-atomic oxygen or ozone (O3) is the only by-product of the UV lamp. It is formed by oxygen being exposed to
254nm wavelengths of UV energy. Ozone is effectively eliminated in the printing area by exhausting air from the
cooling system of the T220UV. Such exhausting involves no danger as the hot gas is very unstable and breaks down
to oxygen rapidly in ducting. Also, the Arizona T220UV printer is equipped with ozone filters located above the
fans in the gantry. These filters ensure that ozone is kept to a minimal safe level.

28 Chapter 3 Safety Information
Residual Safety Risks
The Arizona T220UV is engineered to minimize machine components and operating procedures that may
compromise operator safety. However, in order to maintain some machine operations and functionality, certain
compromises are required. The following table documents some of these residual hazards. By making the operator
aware of the potential risks, we hope to ensure maximum safety in the operation of this printer.
Note: In all of these cases, the risk is reduced by slowing down the gantry in all non-print and hazardous areas.
A hinged and interlocked gate across both sides of the Gantry also reduces the risk.
Caution: there may be a time lag between when a print job is issued and when the gantry movement actually begins.
