How to Use the Océ Arizona 400 Series XT Vacuum System
Introduction
The Océ Arizona 400 Series 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 multiple vacuum zones. Pump 1 provides vacuum to the A Zones
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 the B Zones. All XT printers are
shipped with metric vacuum zones. It is possible to change the configuration from metric
to imperial in the field by a qualified service technician (the technician who installats
your printer can do this, if needed).
The independent control of the zones allows the operator to print in a Dual Origin mode
with minimal down time.
[70] XT Vacuum Zones
There are three A zones and three B zones as indicated in the illustration. These zones
are controlled by five vacuum handles. Zones B1 and A1 are always on when the vacuum
is activated. Zones A2, A3 and B2, B3 are controlled by the position of the two left and
two right vacuum handles. The Center zone is controlled by the middle vacuum handle.
It determines if the C zone is On or Off when the vacuum is active.
