How to Use the Océ Arizona 550 XT Vacuum System
Introduction
The Océ Arizona 550 XT uses a vacuum system to secure rigid media for printing on the
printer table. Two independent vacuum pumps provide vacuum to the table, which is
divided into 3 zones. Pump 1 provides vacuum to Zone 1 and the Center Zone. The
operator can control vacuum flow to the Center Zone with the manual On/Off valve.
Pump 2 provides vacuum to Zone 2.
The independent control of the zones allows the operator to print in a Dual Origin mode
with minimal down time.
Note:
Unlike the vacuum tables of the Océ Arizona 550 GT model, there is no possibility to
create custom zones.
Purpose
The vacuum system holds the media in place on the printer table. The zones are arranged
to accommodate common media dimensions. If a zone is activated, you must mask off
any part of it that is not covered by the media.
Note:
An active zone that is properly sealed will read 20" Hg or higher on the vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum gauge for an active zone reads below 10"Hg (34 kPa) and you have ensured
that the area is properly masked and taped off, you may have a leak in the vacuum system.
Place a service call only after you determine that the zone is correctly masked and the
gauge reads consistently low.
How to Use the Zones
Place the media on the table.
1.
Note:
To place media at the Print Origin for Zone 2 requires an offset at 1830mm (this must
be set in either ProductionHouse or the Print Job screen and can be entered in millimeters,
even when the interface is set to Imperial units).
