3.5 Interposer

3.5 Interposer

The Interposer is a paper input unit that is used for paper post processing devices, which can integrate additional paper that cannot be printed on into customer applications. For example, it enables you to automatically insert pre-printed cover sheets, tabs as well as fine paper that should not go through the printing system’s fusing process into customer jobs.

The Interposer is positioned right after the paper output of the printing system and before the paper post processing device. It has four input trays for a total of 5200 A4 pages with 80 g/m². Its setup and operation is similar to the paper input of the printing system and cascade. The range of paper that can be used is identical to the pneumatic paper input (see section Technical data, page 337).

Paper from the Interposer is no longer printed, but rather it is sent directly from the Interposer to the next paper post processing device. The paper is then inserted in the stack as defined in the print job.

Cleaning, maintenance and error handling, e.g. paper jam is carried in a similar fashion as with the paper input and the cascade.

6.4.1 Cleaning the input trays >>> page 181

8.3.2.4 Clearing a paper jam in the paper input, cascade or Interposer >>> page 298

Note on using tabs

Only one tab set can be used in the entire printing system. This means that the tab set can only be inserted in the paper input or in the Interposer. A combination of this type is not possible.

Tabs with Euro perforation should not be used.

Note regarding transparent mediaTransparent media cannot be used.

5.3.1 General information

To ensure maximum system availability, the paper must comply with the paper specifications for cut sheet printing systems (see section 1.6 Other documents, page 12)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.

When using chemically treated paper, observe the maker’s directives on safety.

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

• Flatness/undulation

• Quality of cut, etc.

Before using new media, ensure they comply with the paper specification. In case of doubt, contact the paper lab:

5.3.2 Paper types

5.3.2 Paper types

All media that comply with the requirements of the electrophotographic printing method can be used in all specified formats and paper weights (paper specification (see section 1.6 Other documents, page 12)).

5.3.3 Climate and paper

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.

5.3.4 Paper handling

The paper should be transported and stored in a suitable manner. 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.

• Do not unpack more paper than you need.

• Always store open packs and reams 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.

• When the printer is not likely to be used for some time (over two hours) we recommend that you remove the paper from the system.

• Do not use damaged single sheets.

CautionSharp paper edges can cut you.Do not slide hands or fingers along the edges.

5.9.6 Calculation and input of shrinkage compensation


Due to the shrinking of the paper during the fusing process, the black portion gets slightly displaced with respect to the color portion in CustomTone printing. This shift increases continuously with the sheet length, causing register inaccuracies of up to 2 mm to occur in long formats.

The shrinking of the paper depends on the quality of the respective paper (thickness, moisture, fiber direction,...) and is different for every fusing process.

This phenomenon can be compensated with the shrinkage compensation.

Calculating vertical shrinkage compensation

You can directly enter the shrinkage factor in the operator panel as value or have it calculated with the help of the operator panel. For calculating, two measurements are necessary: Vertical distance of the print object with shift from the leading edge of the sheet, and the vertical shift between the two colors within the print object.

NoteAs far as possible, take the measurements on the print object, that has the largest distance from the leading edge of the sheet. This reduces the measuring errors.

The measurements and settings must be carried out separately for leading and trailing edge.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the <VarioPrint> <Configuration> <Paper> <Papers> menu at the operator panel.

2. Select the tab <Shrinkage compensation>.

3. Select the page for which the setting needs to be done using the buttons in the "Switch page" area.

4.Click on in the "Vertical shrinkage compensation" area."Calculation of shrinkage factor" window is opened.

5. Measure the distance of the print object with shift from the leading edge of the sheet.

CautionPrinting system could start unexpectedly if not in the "Stop" status.Before cleaning, ensure that the printing system is in the "Stop" mode (press <Stop> button).

The components in the fuser station reach a surface temperature of approximately 230 oC during operation. If you touch them, you may burn yourself.Cleaning should be done preferably before you power on the printing system, while the fuser station is still cold. Alternatively, allow the fuser station to cool down for approximately half an hour before you start work.

There can be a high build-up of static charge when draining toner spill!Always use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a grounded suction tube, rubber nozzle and filter set for fine dust. For draining large quantities of toner spill (such as a full bottle), the industrial vacuum cleaner must be explosion-proof.

There is a danger of slipping on toner or developer spill.Clean up toner and developer spill immediately.

ImportantPossibility of damage to the printing system when the wrong cleaning agents or materials are used.Use only the specified cleaning materials and cleaning units . (see section Cleaning agents and equipment, page 336)

8.3 Clearing paper jams

8.3 Clearing paper jams

Strictly observe the following safety directives when clearing the paper jam.

Procedure for clearing a paper jam:

8.3.2 Clearing a paper jam >>> page 295

8.3.3 Setting the decurler >>> page 314

8.3.4.1 Setting the Predecurler >>> page 319

CautionTo prevent the possibility of injury, you must observe the following:• Do not wear jewelry such as rings or watches, etc. when clearing jammed paper.• Before removing jammed paper, open the appropriate flaps and affix them in the

position in the top notches. The green release knob must be flush with the plate.• Sharp edges of paper can cause cuts.

Do not touch the edges of the paper. If you have to do so, exercise extreme caution. Do not slide hands or fingers along the edges.

• Frequent paper jams are a sign that the paper is unsuitable. This can also lead to increased wear and tear of the photoconductor drum and fuser station.

• Never use hard objects to clear a paper jam. These may damage the paper transport surfaces (with scratches etc.) and the damage will, in turn, increase the risk of further paper jams.

8.3.2.8 Clearing a paper jam in the paper output >>> page 311

8.3.2.1 General information on paper jams

• Paper jam between paper input and the reject tray:All paper must be removed manually.

• Paper jam between the reject tray and the output:

– All paper between the input tray and reject tray is ejected automatically to the reject tray from the point at which the jam occurs.

– Manually remove all paper between the reject tray and the jam location.

– Paper located downstream from the jam location is conveyed automatically to the output tray after the jam occurs.

8.3.2.2 Information on removing paper

• To transport the jammed paper to a better position from where it can be removed, the paper path has transport rollers with green unnumbered knobs.

• The paper path has flaps with green numbered release knobs. All flaps in the paper path in which the paper has jammed must always be open so that all jammed paper can be reached and removed.

• Take care not to tear the paper when removing it. Large formats are gripped simultaneously with two paper transport rollers. The jammed paper can be positioned better for removal by turning the adjacent transport rollers.

A29246-X17-X-4-7680 / do805.fm 295

8.3.2.3 Clearing a paper jam in the flaps

• Jammed large formats can also be located in adjacent stations. Then it is necessary to remove both stations and only then remove the paper from both stations.

• Check the removed sheets for torn corners or sections. If sections are missing, they must also be removed from the paper path, since otherwise another paper jam is likely to occur when the printer is started.


The operator panel displays the error message ".. Paper jam" informs you which flaps you must open to clear the paper jam. The numbers are printed on the green release flap knobs.

When working with the flap groups in the following table, the flaps must be opened in the given sequence. The flaps must be closed in reverse order.There are no special points to note for the other flaps and flap groups.

8.3.4 Predecurler

8.3.4 Predecurler

Too much paper curling can impair the paper transport, e.g. in the area of the PC drum. You can avoid these problems by checking and adjusting, if necessary, the Predecurler settings before starting the print job, see section 8.3.4.1 Setting the Predecurler, page 319.

Then determine the paper curl value for the paper being used. For this, you will require the curl measurement sheet as per ISO 14968. You will also find this in the paper specification for single sheet printing systems (order no. A29249-X1-X7-59).

The Predecurler settings for the determined paper curl value can be found in the table under 8.3.4.2 Setting for Predecurler, page 321.

8.3.4.1 Setting the Predecurler

The paper required for the print job should be loaded into the input tray.

Note• The upper and lower print units each have a Predecurler. You only need to set the

lower Predecurler because the upper one will automatically adjust to your settings.• The setting is only possible for user-defined papers. Predefined papers cannot be

modified.

Proceed as follows:

1. If paper disruptions should occur during the print job, cancel the print job by pressing the <Stop> button.

2. Remove the top sheet of paper from the input tray.

8.4 Print image problems

8.4 Print image problems

8.4.1 Dropouts and spots - defective photoconductor drum

If there are spots and dropouts on the print image, use the following overview to check whether the permitted number of spots and dropouts is exceeded before replacing the photoconductor drum.

• SpotsSpots are printed areas found outside the character contours. They are as dark as normal print characters.

• DropoutsDropouts are areas on the print image that are inside the minimum permitted character outlines and are as light as unprinted areas.

The photoconductor drum may be the cause of such problems, especially if the print faults (spots and dropouts) are regularly spaced, i.e. at intervals of around 380 mm (possibly also visible on A3 prints).

It is normal that a few print irregularities (spots and dropouts) occur with a new photoconductor drum; per A4 sheet, the following numbers are permissible.

8.4.2 Fusing quality

Check the following if the fusing quality is poor:

• Does the paper fulfill the paper specification regulations?

• Was the paper correctly stored?

Only when these possibilities have been ruled out should you call the service engineer.

Size Permitted number

Spots to 0.25 mm: average 3

8.5 Substandard print quality in margin zones

8.5 Substandard print quality in margin zones

In general, printing can be performed from margin to margin. However, due to the physical properties of the paper – paper is affected by heat, damp, etc. – the print quality of areas of color fill in the margin zone can be impaired, and the running properties of the paper may also be sub-standard.

Therefore, in order to increase operating safety, we recommend that you construct your applications so that no important print data is positioned in margin zones b when printing. The portion of black in zone a (leading edge of sheets) should be kept as low as possible.

A short format is illustrated in the following diagram. The values for the margin zones a and b are listed in the following table.

Consumables

Consumables

Toners and developers from Océ Printing Systems GmbH must be used to maintain the optimum availability of the printing system and to achieve the highest possible print and fusing quality.

The annual requirement is based on the following values:

• Printer throughput of 600,000 DIN A4 pages per month

• 400 hours power on per month

• Coverage is 32% of the maximum printable characters at 1/10" column spacing and 1/6" line spacing. This corresponds to a black portion of 8% for average alphanumeric characters.

• Max. 1 stop per 100 pages

Consumption can be higher (roughly 20-30%) with different operating conditions.

Toner consumption depends on ink coverage. The setting contrast = bright can be used to reduce toner consumption.
