Operation

Introduction

Observe the following instructions when operating the printing system:

Service personnel

Only operators, key operators and Service personnel may operate the printing system.

The printing system must not be operated by persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or by persons taking certain types of medication, such as psychotropic drugs.

Before operating the printing system, carefully read through the documentation. Please ask if you do not understand anything in the documentation (e. g. regarding Service).

Operation

In cases of emergency, power off the printing system of f immediately with the mai n switch. In the event of damage to the casing, power cable or operating elements, or penetration of fluids or foreign bodies, call the appropriate Service representative.

Do not wear any loose hanging clothing (e. g. ties, sleeves, scarves), necklaces and bracelets, 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 cov ers closed while the printing system is in operation. This ensures that limit values for electromagnetic co mpatibility are not exceeded. Noise emission is also minimized.

Operation

Cleaning

Always use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a grounded suction tube, rubber nozzle and filter set for f ine dust. An explosion-proof ind ustrial 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 as well:

■ Cleaning the printing system — overview on page 250

■ Cleaning agents and devices, cleaning intervals on page 252

Foreign bodies, noises

Ensure that no objects (e. g. necklaces, paper clips or staples, coins, etc.) or liquids enter the printing system, as this could cause electrical 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. Failure to do so may result in overheating or combustion while the device is in operation.

Ensure that there is an adequate supply of cool and fresh air in the printing system assembly room (see Cooling and fresh air, air purity on page 454).

Do not obstruct the operating and service clearance areas in any way by means of 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 doin g an y w ork on or aro und the fu ser 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 system. The life c ycle of the f ilter system is designed so that it does not have to be replaced during the lifetime of the printing system.

In print operation the ozone concentration is

concentration (MAC) of 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3). With proper ventilation, harmful

below the maximum allo wable work place

38 Chapter 2 Security

concentrations do not occur even if the f ilter system fails entirely . For ventilation, see

Cooling and fresh air, air purity on page 454.

Consumables and expendables

Paper specifications

General information

The paper should comply with the paper specification for continuous printing systems (see Other documents on page 26) and must be stored according to climatic regulations in order to achieve higher availability of the printing system.

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 GmbH accepts no liability for such damages.

The printing system is designed to process a wide range of paper types. Ho wever , 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 SWS SI 4 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 can, for example, giv e the paper an excessive curl, make it bumpy , or alter its electrical resistance.

60 Chapter 3 Description of the printing system

Paper specifications

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.
