This ensures that limit values for radio interference suppression are not exceeded. Noise
emission is also minimized.
2.6.2.3 Cleaning
• Observe the instructions in section 6 Cleaning the printing system for cleaning the printing
system.
• For vacuuming, an industrial vacuum cleaner with grounded suction device, rubber nozzle and a filter insert for fine dustmust be used. When vacuuming large quantities of toner
spill (e. g. 1 bottle), an explosion-proof industrial vacuum cleaner must be used because
there can be a high build-up of static charge when draining toner spill.
• Only use the recommended cleaning agents and equipment (see section Cleaning ma-
terials and equipment, page 365).
2.6.2.4 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.
2.6.2.5 Cooling, heat, emissions

over.
• A ventilating flue without a smoke detector should be installed above the fuser module.
In very rare cases, paper jammed in the fuser module could be damaged by the infrared
fusing to the extent that smoke escapes. However, even in this case there is no danger
of fire because the affected component is immediately isolated from the remaining print
system by sealed bulkheads. This bulkhead shielding is part of a proven safety concept
and does not effect the availability of the print system after the jammed paper has been
removed.
• All printing system accessories and options must comply with statutory regulations and
directives for safety, radio interference suppression, 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

3.2.3 Toner bottle identification
Toner bottle identification ensures that the toner bottle and toner box are assigned correctly
and unambiguously to the developer station. A plausibility check also prevents incorrect
settings on the developer station.
For this purpose, each toner bottle is equipped with a transponder for toner identification.
Transponder data is read by a reader and this information is analyzed by the printing
system.
1 Toner bottle
2 Transponder
3 Reader
4 Toner bottle holder
When a toner bottle with the correct toner type is identified, toner is sucked from the toner
bottle into the developer station toner boxes.
To prevent soiling of the developer stations and damage to the printing system, the printing
process is paused at print start, if:
• a toner bottle with an incorrect toner type is identified, or
• the toner bottle cannot be identified at all (because either no toner bottle is inserted or the
transponder on the toner bottle is faulty or not missing, or the reader is faulty).
Important
In both cases, a query is displayed on the operator panel asking whether printing
should continue regardless. If this query is confirmed, toner continues to be sucked
from the toner bottle into the developer station toner box. Soiling of the developer
stations and damage to the printing system cannot be ruled out however.

This section contains information on the following topics:
3.4.1 General information >>> page 55
3.4.2 Paper types >>> page 55
3.4.3 Paper handling >>> page 56
3.4.1 General information
To ensure maximum system availability, the paper must comply with the 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 which can contaminate the
environment or have a detrimental effect on health. Océ Printing Systems GmbH accepts
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.
3.4.2 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.
Note
When using continuous rollpaper, observe the operating instructions for the paper preand post-processing devices.
3.4.3 Paper handling
56 A29246-X20-X-4-7680 / fa301.fm
3.4.3 Paper handling
The climate (temperature and relative humidity) in the storeroom or processing room is of
major importance in ensuring optimum paper processing. Unsuitable conditions can, for
example, give the paper an excessive curl, make it bumpy, or alter its electrical resistance.
The paper should be transported and stored in a suitable manner.
In order not to impair the quality of the supplied paper, observe the following:
• Store the paper in the supplied packaging until use.
• 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.
• Do not unpack more paper than you need.
• Always store open packs on the top of your supply stacks, and use open packs first. If you
have to store open packs over a longer period of time, cover the paper with protective film.
