3 SquareFold module (Model SFM6204)

4 Belt Stacker

5 Rotator module (RTM6240)

The booklet maker Océ BLM200, Trimmer and SquareFold module form a booklet making system that works online with copiers or printers.

The print-outs from the copier or printer are transported sheet by sheet into the Océ BLM200 booklet maker and collected in the stapler area of the Océ BLM200 booklet maker. The booklet maker now jogs and then staples the set. The set is then transported further to the folding area where the set is folded into a booklet and then fed out to the belt stacker. When a larger number of sheets are folded an effect called creeping occurs. In order to rectify creep, the Trimmer can be connected to the booklet maker. The booklets are then transported from the booklet maker into the Trimmer where the front edge (face) will be cut off. Another option, the SquareFold module, can be installed if a Trimmer is installed on the Océ BLM200 booklet maker. The prints, which have been stapled, folded and trimmed will be fed into the SquareFold module. The SquareFold module will flatten the spine of the booklet into a square shape. The booklets will, after passing through the SquareFold module, have the look of a perfect bound book.

The booklets are then fed out to the belt stacker.

The buttons of the control panel

The entire Océ BLM200 booklet making system is controlled from a single control panel on the booklet maker. The control panel has only six buttons which will allow you to easily set up, adjust and operate the complete system.

	Description
	The buttons are multi functional, meaning that the function of each button depends on the information displayed. For example: In this screen, the icon next to button 1 indicates you will go up one level in the menu when the button is pressed.
	Example 2: In this screen, button 1 has no function.
	Example 3: Pressing button 1 here will answer “No” to the question on the screen.

Remove/replace staple cartridge

Introduction

The first procedure shows you how to remove or replace the staples. (Replacement staple cartridge - Océ S32: part number 29701696).

After staple jam or empty staple cartridge has been detected, the Océ BLM200 will automatically advance and feed staples. This feature is called staple recovery. The second procedure shows you how to replace staples after a staple jam or empty staple cartridge indication.

How to remove/replace staples

Step Action Description
You may remove and replace the staple cartridge while the stapler head assembly is in place.
1 Open	the top cover.
2 Raise	the staple cartridge lock-ing lever (1) as indicated in the drawing.
3 Gently twist the staple cartridge (2) from side to side, and pull out the staple cartridge (2) from the stapler head.

Step Action Description
4 If the staple cartridge is empty, discard it and replace it with a new one. Before replacing the cartridge, pull at least 20 mm of the staples out and tear off at the staple tear line (3) which is marked on the cartridge. If there has been a misfeed, and the cartridge still contains sta- ples, pull 20 mm of staples out of the cartridge and tear off at the stapler tear line. Check that the first staple is flat. If not, tear off another 20 mm, using less force.
5 Insert the cartridge into the sta- pler head with the staples fac- ing towards the head mechanism. The cartridge should be placed flat on the slide on the bottom of the sta- pler head and pushed firmly into the stapler head.
6 Hold the staple cartridge firmly in place and push down the car- tridge locking lever.
Note: If the cartridge is allowed to move away from the stapler head before the locking lever is in engaged, remove cartridge and tear off 20 mm of staples along the staple tear line.

How to replace the staples after a staple jam or empty staple cartridge indication.

Step Action

1 Follow step 1-6 on the previous page.

2 Close the top cover.

3 Feed in a four page set. The staple recovery will commence now.

4 Now the Océ BLM200 has recovered and production can continue. In case the problem persists and no staples were fed, the display will indicate that again. In such a case: Repeat this procedure. If problem still persists, perform the Removing/replacing Stapler Head procedure.

Rotator module for Océ VarioPrint 2090, 2100, 2110, 3070, 3090, 3110 and 6250 printers.

General

Description

Exterior view of a modern white industrial refrigerator with a control panel (no visible text or symbols)

To get the highest functionality for multi format finishers, a rotator module is available that is compatible with the Océ VarioPrint 2090, 2100, 2110, 3070, 3090, 3110 and 6250 printers.

This rotator is specifically designed in order to improve processing speed in situations where the receiving finisher needs to be fed short edge first. (e.g. when making A5 booklets)

It is possible to readjust the rotator module automatically from Bypass to Rotation mode and vice versa: A4 and Letter are used with the Rotation mode enabled while A3 and Ledger run in Bypass mode, allowing finishers that can receive mixed jobs to run at maximum speed with a minimum of operator intervention.

Problem solving

"Not Ready" Status indicator

The "Not Ready" indicator blinks if an error has occurred in the rotator module, or in one of the finishers placed behind the rotator module.

Generally, "Not Ready" messages are displayed on all finishers before the finisher having the error. This means that when an error occurs, it must be solved on the finisher last in line first. If no additional errors are detected in the rotator module, and all errors in finishers behind the rotator module are solved, the rotator module will automatically assume the "Ready" position, and will communicate correspondingly to the printer or other finishers before the rotator module.

In short, this means that errors only need to be solved in the module actually having the error. All other modules will automatically detect when an error in another module has been cleared.

Clear paper jams

Procedure

1. Open the top cover
