the sending of print jobs
Important points for the sending of print jobs
Before you send print jobs to the Océ TCS400, remember the following.
■
The values defined in the Océ Settings Editor are default values for the
system. You can define a number of job settings in the printer drivers or the
job submission tools. The settings defined in the printer drivers or the job
submission tools always overrule the settings defined in the Océ Settings
Editor.
Chapter 10 of the user manual and the on-line help in the Océ Settings
Editor include complete information about the Océ Settings Editor
Make sure that the media type and size defined in your job match the media
type and size defined on the printer.
■
■
■

Make sure that you define the correct print mode for your job.
Make sure that you define the correct media type for your job.
Make sure that you define the correct job settings. For example, orientation,
rotate, shift, and 'Automatic roll switch'. The section about the correct
media types for your jobs describes the job settings you can use with the
different media types and sizes.
A job submission tool like Océ Print Exec® Workgroup, provides you with
information about the media defined on the system. The printer drivers do not
give this type of information. When you use the printer drivers to send your
jobs, use Océ Remote Logic to view information about the media defined on
the printer in the Océ System Control Panel.
Chapter 4 of the user manual includes more information about how to send

EPA ENERGY STAR®
Introduction
Océ-Technologies B.V. has joined the ENERGY STAR® Program of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The purpose of the ENERGY
STAR® Program is to promote the manufacturing and marketing of
energy-efficient equipment, thereby potentially reducing combustion-related
pollution. Using the energy management features outlined below prevents
unnecessary power consumption, which helps to prevent air pollution from
electricity generating plants and saves money on your utility bills.
®
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Océ-Technologies B.V. has determined that this
printer model meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
See the Product Safety Data Sheet in this appendix for power use data.
Attention: If this printer is upgraded to a multifunctional device by adding
a wide format colour scanner, the system does not comply with the ENERGY
STAR sleep mode specification for a wide format multifunction device. The
ENERGY STAR® logo which appears in the printer operator panel only refers
to the printer.
Features
The EPA ENERGY STAR® Criteria for printers involves the following feature.
■
Sleep mode
The power use of some functions is automatically decreased to save energy.
The printer enters the sleep mode 30 minutes after the last print job is
completed. The key operator can adjust this default time within a range
between 30 and 240 minutes.
It is suggested to determine the appropriate default time for your work
pattern by changing the setting in steps of 30 minutes and testing each
setting for at least a week. Only if this limit of 240 minutes still causes
sizable inconvenience, due to your usage pattern, the key operator can
disable the sleep mode.
