Climate Control On The Océ Plotwave 750 - Oce PlotWave 750 Operation Manual

Climate control on the Océ PlotWave 750
Introduction
The Océ PlotWave 750 gives the best print results when the printer is located in a room with
moderate climate conditions and/or air conditioning. This way, the temperature and humidity
levels in the room can be kept at a level that guarantees optimal print results on the Océ
PlotWave 750. The quality of the prints on the Océ PlotWave 750 can be negatively influenced by
humidity in the environment and humidity of the media that the printer uses to print on.
For printers that are located in a room that has no climate control facilities or that is known to be
humid from time to time, the Océ PlotWave 750 can be furnished with an optional climate control
function. The climate control function helps to keep the media rolls in the drawers dry. The
climate control function is active when the printer is in sleep mode. The printer has very low
energy consumption in sleep mode.
IMPORTANT
If you turn off the printer with the power switch located at the back of the printer, you also turn
off the climate control function. Leave the printer switched on to be able to use the climate
control function.
Climate control function
The climate control function monitors the humidity level with a sensor inside the printer. When
this sensor registers a humidity level in the printer environment that is higher than 50%, the
climate control function is automatically activated inside the printer when the printer is in sleep
mode. The temperature inside the drawers with the media rolls increases just enough to prevent
the media inside the drawers from becoming humid. This way you can prevent moisture in the
media from adversely affecting print quality.
The climate control function is a fully automatic system that does not need to be configured. The
climate control function can only operate when the power to the printer remains switched on.
NOTE
A media roll that already contains a lot of moisture cannot be dehydrated by the climate control
function.
NOTE
Always make sure that you store the media rolls in a dry, cool and dark place, preferably in its
original wrapping.
