Using Vacuum Zones - Metric Zones
Introduction
When the printer is shipped, the vacuum zones are configured to support either common metric
or imperial media sizes . The purpose of the vacuum zones is to reduce the preprint setup time by
reducing the need to mask the open area on the vacuum table when printing on the most
common size media.
The Océ Arizona 1200 Series GT has five control valves that determine the zones that are active
when the table vacuum pump is on. Zone 1 area is always active, and the five valves control
zones 2 through 6.
Metric Vacuum Zones
The following shows the locations and media dimensions associated with the factory-set metric
vacuum zones. The name of the zone indicates which vacuum handle controls that zone (except 1
as that zone is always on).
The metric configuration is designed such that zone 6 can be reconfigured by a service
representative from the 2.5m x 1.25m area size to 4'x8'.
