Gas pipes Doing so may cause fire or an explosion. Earth terminals for telephone line or lightening rod Doing so may cause a large flow of voltage if lightening occurs. Water pipes or faucets If there is a plastic part in the pipe, the earth will not work properly. Do not insert or drop metal or inflammable objects into openings, such as ventilation outlets. Doing so may result in electrical shock and fire. 7 AP-77120, Rev. 1.3, 24/04/2006

8 Stop using your printer if a liquid is spilled into it. This may cause electrical shock or fire. Turn the printer off as soon as possible, unplug the power cord, and contact your local Océ representative. Be sure to use the attached cable. Otherwise, electrical shock or fire may occur. Be sure to use the specified voltage (AC 100 V to 120V, or AC 220V to 240V). Otherwise, electrical shock or fire may occur. Use electricity directly from a power outlet (AC 100 V to 120V, or AC 220V to 240V). Do not put many loads on one electrical output. Otherwise, heat may be generated and cause fire. Be sure to use an outlet with an earth terminal and use the terminal correctly. Otherwise, electrical shock or fire may occur. Follow the instructions below when handling the power cable. Do not modify the cable. Do not put heavy objects on the cable. Do not bend, twist or pull the cable. Do not wire the cable near equipment that generates heat. Follow the instructions below when handling the power plug. Otherwise, fire may occur. Wipe away dust and any other residue before inserting the plug. Ensure that the plug is firmly inserted as far as it will go. When handling the foot switch, be aware of the following: Do not place anything heavy on the foot switch. Do not bend the cable of the foot switch with force and do not pull. Do not place the foot switch near thermal devices. When handling ink cassettes, be careful that ink does not get in your eyes or on your skin. However, if this happens, flush immediately with water and wash skin with soap. Otherwise, your eyes may become congested or inflamed slightly. If you feel discomfort, consult a doctor immediately. Do not disassemble ink cassettes. Otherwise, ink may get in your eyes or on your skin. Océ IJC910 Low Solvent Inks General information: Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident. After inhalation: Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if symptoms persist.

43 3.9 SMARTCHIP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Introduction The smartchip management system allows the user to control the ink volumes of the smartchip cards either on the cassettes or centrally in the printer. Caution Don t pull any smartchip cards from ink cassettes to use them in the reader. The ink value on the smartchip cards of the cassettes will be transferred to the smartchip management system when using the printer mode Explaining the smartchip management system Firmware incorporating the smartchip management system, makes it possible to work in the cassette mode (original mode) or the printer mode (ink volume from the smartchip cards is centrally managed by the printer) A. Cassette mode The ink volume transfer is happening WHILE printing. The more you print, the more ink volume is being SIMULTANOUSLY transferred. The image below shows the ink volume transfer flow WHILE printing. Ink value transfer in cassette mode WHILE printing 43 AP-77120, Rev. 1.3, 24/04/2006

44 B. Printer mode Transferring ink volume and printing is performed in 2 stages. See the step action table below : Stage Description User s Action Remark 1 Transferring ink volume to the chip manager system. See image Stage 1 below. Ink volume transfer, Transferring the ink volume from the smartchip cards to the smartchip management system on next none 2 Printing with the total ink volume on the chip manager system. See image Stage 2 below. page. Printing the print data. This ink volume transfer is AUTOMATICALY performed during printing Stage 1 : Ink volume transfer BEFORE printing Stage 2 : Ink volume transfer WHILE printing More info about Stage 2 : In the printer mode, the smartchip management system reads out the ink volume on the smartchip card in the smartcard reader. If no valid card or no ink volume is found, the ink manager system will scan all cassette slots. It is then possible to transfer the ink value rest on the smartchips. In that case, the ink manager system will add all the ink volumes together to a TOTAL INK VOLUME, independent from the ink colour. See Inserting a smartchip card in the card reader of the printer on next page for more details about the procedure. 44 AP-77120, Rev. 1.3, 24/04/2006

51 4 DAILY MAINTENANCE 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter explains daily maintenance of the printer. 4.2 PERIODICAL SERVICES DONE BY END USER This section describes the periodical services required for this machine. The periodical services ensure stable printout quality of the machine. In the periodical services, some service parts may be checked, cleaned, or replaced. Perform periodical inspections according to the table below. N Action Frequency 1 Clean wipers 2 Flush caps in maintenance station 3 Clean the edges of the caps in maintenance station 4 Clean the area around the caps 5 Clean around bottom of the heads 6 Change the wipers 7 Change upper sponge at back of the capping station Daily maintenance Weekly maintenance Monthly maintenance 8 Replacing the sponge in the spitting box 2 weekly maintenance Notes All cleaning in Ink areas must be done with Océ Low Solvent cleaning solution. Above maintenance cycle is based on use: 8 hours / day, 5 days / week and 44 weeks / year. If machine is used more, maintenance periods will come earlier Daily Maintenance Before every print, perform a nozzle check. If some nozzles are missing or misfiring, perform cleaning cycles until all nozzles are in good shape. We advise to run a normal or a powerful cleaning cycle to recover the nozzles. At the end of the day, when you will shut down the printer, the ink has to be removed from some parts, so it cannot harden. Otherwise, some parts will break down or result in bad print quality. Notes In the box you will find a Good Shape Kit to perform the daily maintenance. Normally this is enough for 6 months. In case you re out of stock, you can order a new kit at Océ Order Entry Department. The product code of the good shape kit is AP-77120, Rev. 1.3, 24/04/2006
