Chapter 1 Getting started
This chapter contains a general description of the Océ 9400 and how to install and setup the printer to be ready for use. Furthermore it describes how to get the copier ready to copy.

The Océ 9400 printer
The Océ 9400 is a wide format printing system. The machine is equipped with an automatic 1- or 2-roll dispenser. The Océ 9400 prints on paper, transparent paper, vellum and polyester film. Its powerful digital technology offers users optimal ease of use and the reliability that one might expect from Océ.
The Compact Output Stacker is the newest option of the Océ 9400. This output stacker offers a smart and efficient disposition of printed or copied drawings.
The machine has features, such as:
■ automatic language sensing and remote control
- multiple interfaces
■ fast, high quality printing
■ autoscale of vector data
■ media saver
Optional:
■ automatic 2-roll dispenser
■ memory extension modules
- compact output stacker
■ PostScript level 2
- Ethernet interface
■ high capacity delivery tray
The printer operating panel
The operating panel which is located at the right hand side of the printer console is easy to use (see figure 1). The panel consists of buttons and a display consisting of 2 lines of 16 characters each.

[1] Printer operating panel
In normal operation, the printer can process print jobs, and the 2 line display indicates the current status of the printer (e.g. ‘READY’ or ‘RASTERIZING’).
With the buttons on the operating panel you may enter the Program mode and easily setup the printer according to your requirements.
Buttons
Program Program To activate the program mode and to enter the top level menu. In this mode the user can use next/select previous ▶ buttons to step through the menu.
Pressing Program on if there is no action during 1 minute in Program mode, the machine returns to the status mode.
Note: If you press the Program button while the printer is printing, the led above the program button flashes. As soon as the printing process is ready, you automatically enter the program mode. Bear in mind that when you are in the Program mode, the printer will not print.
Next/select (next/select) To select an option or a setting in the menu. Or in case a submenu is present, enter a menu on a lower level.
Previous (previous) By pressing this button you go one level higher in the menu.
Browse buttons ◄r ▶ These two buttons are used to select another mode at the same level of the menu, or to display the next or previous option from the option list.
Cancel/continue cancel/continue This button is used to cancel the present print job or to continue after an operator recoverable error.
Display
The two-lines LCD display provides feedback about print job status in normal mode and menu items in Program mode.
During normal operation the following messages may appear:
Status messages indicates the actual status of the printer, e.g. READY, PROCESSING etc.
Warning messages during a warning message the printer will continue to operate, but it is possible that the print quality is not optimal, e.g. REFILL TONER.
Error messages the printer will stop and the user has to take action. For example: PAPER JAM.
Action messages an action message prompts the user to perform an action before the print job is resumed. For example: ‘FEED SHEET’ in case of manual feed.
The Océ 9400 copier
The Océ 9400 is also a copier for large documents (e.g. architectural or engineering drawings). The machine is easy to use and makes copies on paper, transparent paper, vellum and polyester film with the quality and reliability that one might expect from Océ.
To use the Océ 9400 as a copier, a wide-format scanner is connected to the printer. Please note that you still can send print jobs when the Océ 9400 is used as a copier. The print jobs are processed after copying is finished.
The machine detects whether a user wants to print a document or to make a copy, and switches automatically after 1 minute to printing mode.
The scanner operating panel
The operating panel which is located at the right hand side of the scanner is easy to use (see figure 2).

[2] Scanner operating panel
Stand-by mode
The operating panel (see the illustration on inside back cover) on the Océ 9400 is easy to use and specially designed to carry out copy jobs.
After switching on the scanner, (see page 18), the machine is always ready for operation. In this state, the operating panel is in stand-by mode, which is in fact a low power mode. The operating panel activates in the following situations:
■ when you feed an original
■ when a button on the operating panel is pressed
Note: If you do not work with the operating panel for more than 1 minute and no original is fed, it returns automatically to stand-by mode. The Océ 9400, however, remains always ready for operation. If however the original remains in the scanner feed table, the operating panel returns to stand-by mode after 2.5 minutes but the settings will remain.
Buttons and functions
Start button The copy process starts with the current settings. After pressing the start button no more changes are possible for the copies that are already being processed, with exception of the ‘stop/correction’ button.
-/+ button Press these buttons to increase or decrease the number of copies. The copy quantity can be changed at all times. Adjustable from 1 to 19 copies.
Stop/Correction button This button has two functions: stopping the original during the original transport, or correcting the selected settings.
■ Before starting the copying process :
Pressing this button once: The number of copies selected is erased and the default value '1' will be displayed. All other settings remain unchanged. Pressing this button twice: All settings that have been selected will also be erased and reset to the default settings. The number of copies selected will revert to '1', if it is not already set to this value. If required, you can select new settings.
■ During the copying process:
If you press this button while an original is being fed, the copying process will stop immediately. If you want to abort a multicopy job after the scanning of the original is finished, you must abort the copying process by pressing the 'cancel/continue' button on the printer. You have to open the top cover of the scanner to remove the original ('Clearing original jam' on page 126).
Media button With this button you choose the input of the copy material.
Possible input selections are roll 1, roll 2 or manual feed.
Exposure scale You modify the exposure level with the ‘lighter’ and ‘darker’ buttons. The exposure level can be changed at all times.
Auto exposure button With this button the Automatic Background
Compensation can be switched on or off.
Cut button This button toggles between synchro cut mode and standard cut mode.
In synchro cut mode, the copy is cut at the length of the original.
In standard cut mode, the copy is cut at a standard length.
Edge button This button toggles between leading and trailing edge. With this button you add or remove a strip at the leading or trailing edge.
Zoom button You can vary the zoom factor between 25% and 400%. Either in fixed steps or percentages.
Up/Down buttons When using zoom-, edge- or the standard cut-mode you can modify the values of these modes by pressing the up or down button.
Start indication This indication above the start button is on if the scanner is ready to make a scan and is off when the scanner is scanning an original. Also this is the only indication which is on when the scanner is in standby mode.
Please wait This indication is blinking when the user has pressed the start button but the system is not ready to scan. E.g. because the system is busy with a multicopy job or because the system is processing a printjob.
Printer error This indication is on if there is an error on the printer. Check the operating panel of the printer for the error message.
Switching on/off the copier
Switching on the copier consists of:
■ switching on the scanner
■ switching on the printer (see page 19).
After switching on the system is ready for operation. In this state, the machine is in stand-by mode. There is no need to switch it off after each copy job. You can leave the copier switched on for the rest of the day. At all times, the Océ 9400 is ready for operation.
If the copier has been inactive for more than 1 minute, the operating panel returns automatically to the stand-by mode. The operating panel of the scanner is activated in the following situations:
- you feed an original
■ a button on the operating panel is pressed

Note: If you do not restart the printer the new memory allocation is not taken into account. Any print data in the printer's memory (files in the queue), will be lost when you switch off the printer.
Bitmap buffer
This buffer defines a percentage of the total RAM memory that can be used as the bitmap partition. This value will be set between two values depending on the RAM configuration.
The installed RAM can be divided into:
- bitmap partition
■ processing area for vector files
The size of the bitmap partition determines the max. dimensions of the image to be printed (e.g. 18 Mb = A0).
The size of the vector processing area determines the ability to process complex files (e.g. larger number of vectors).
A high percentage of bitmap partition allocation, allows printing of long plots without windowing.
A low percentage of bitmap partition allocation, means the ability of processing very complex files (vector and raster).

Printing using the manual feed
There are two possibilities to select manual feed:
- via remote control commands added to the print file (by means of Plot Director, drivers (see 'Upload jobs' on page 71).
■ by changing the MEDIA MODE in the program mode.
If the user wants to use manual feed, he has to:
1 program the media settings on the printer, refer to ‘Programming media settings’ on page 45.
2 send the file.
3 wait until the message 'FEED SHEET' appears in the printer display.
4 feed the sheet of paper portrait into the printer.
5 hold the paper until the engine pulls-in the first part of the sheet.
If the user has selected manual feed in a print file, the printer will ask the user via the operating panel, to feed the sheet into the printer, at the moment this job is processed. There will be a user-selectable time-out between 30 and 300 seconds on feeding the sheet. Default timeout is 60 seconds. See ‘Setting the time-out for manual feed’ on page 47. If the user does not feed the sheet within this time the job is flushed and the next job will be processed.
Inserting print material in the manual feed
1 Feed the print material centrally into the feed table in accordance with the guidelines (see figure 17).
Note: The minimum length of the print material must be 420 mm.

Chapter 4 Copy jobs
This chapter describes how to make copies.

Introduction
With the Océ 9400, you can make copies on paper, transparent paper, vellum and polyester film, while Océ's Image Logic Technology ensures optimal copy quality.
Depending on your configuration your system is equipped with a 1 roll- or 2 roll-dispenser. With the use of the ‘media’ button you can select from which roll you want to copy, or if you want to manually feed a sheet of paper.
With the Océ 9400 you can make 1:1 copies and you can reduce or enlarge your original from 25% to 400%. You can set the zoom in fixed or in % steps. The default setting is 100%.
The Océ 9400 cuts the paper to the length of the original, this is called synchro cut. Or, if you have selected standard cut mode, the copy is cut at a standard length, (see ‘Copying using synchro or standard cut’ on page 58).
The automatic exposure setting ensures the production of background-free copies from most line-drawings. If you have an extremely dark or light original, or an original with pasted parts or photographs, you may have to adjust the exposure setting manually (see ‘Modifying the exposure’ on page 63).
Making copies
The copying process starts after pressing the ‘start’ button. Before pressing the ‘start’ button, you can change the settings.

Feeding the original
1 Insert the original face down and right aligned, along the original guide on the scanner feed table in such way that the line is completely visible (see figure 22).

natural_image
Line drawing of a wall-mounted air conditioner unit with control panel (no text or symbols)[22] Inserting the original
The original will be transported about 1 centimeter to a defined position.
2 Now you are ready to change settings or to start the copy process (see ‘Starting the copy process’ on page 53).
If you make a copy within the time-out of 1 minute, the machine will use the settings of the previous copy job.
Starting the copy process
If you press the ‘start’ button without changing any settings, the settings of the previous copy job will be used or the default settings of the machine:
■ number of copies 1
■ using roll 1
- zoom 100%
■ synchro cut
■ no leading /trailing edge
■ auto exposure on; exposure setting 0.
Default settings are used in the following situations:
■ after switching on
■ after pressing stop/correct twice
■ after a time-out of 1 minute (since the end of previous copy job has expired).
If the ‘start’ button is pressed and the printer is not busy, the original will be scanned. After the original is scanned, it will be returned to the operator. During the scanning process no changes in settings can be made.
When the original is returned completely, it can be removed and a new original can already be fed and settings programmed.
If the printer is busy at the moment you press the ‘start’ button, the ‘PLEASE WAIT’ indicator lights up. Printing will resume 1 minute after the copying process is finished. The scanning will start automatically when the printer is ready again.
Activating/de-activating the rewind function
Note: The default setting is configured by the Océ service technician.
If you have a very precious original, it may be useful not to return the original back to the operator. In this case you can use the 'start' button to activate a deviation from the default settings.
Three defaults settings are possible:
1 the original is always rewinded after scanning.
2 the original is rewinded after scanning, unless you tell the scanner to leave the original at the back of the scanner.
3 the original is not rewinded, unless you tell the scanner to feed the original back to the front of the scanner.
If you feed an original, and the rewind function is not active, you have to press the 'start' button only for the first original. The next originals will be fed automatically (stream feed). Make sure you have made new settings before feeding the original.
▼ De-activating the rewind function (in situation 3)
1 Insert the original face down and right aligned.
2 Make the required settings.
3 Press the 'start' button.
4 During scanning press the 'start' button again. The indication light above the start button is flashing.
5 The original will be hold at the back of the scanner.
Activating the rewind function (in situation 2)
1 Insert the original face down and right aligned.
2 Make the required settings.
3 Press the 'start' button.
4 During scanning press the 'start' button again. The indication light above the start button is flashing.
5 The original will be rewinded after scanning.
The settings will return to default,
■ if no original is fed,
■ an error has occurred,
■ the correction button is pressed,
■ the panel time out has exceeded.
Change settings
To perform special copy jobs, the Océ 9400 offers you the possibility to change settings, to match your requirements. This section explains in detail how to change these particular settings.
Number of copies
If you want to have multiple copies from one original you have to enter the desired number of copies on the scanner operating panel. The quantity of copies will count down on the operating panel of the printer. The original will be scanned just once and the required number of copies will be processed.
Refer to ‘Product specifications scanner’ on page 131 for the limitation of multiple copy jobs.
▼ Selecting the number of copies
1 Enter the number of copies (1 upto 19) using the ‘+’ or ‘-’ button on the scanner operating panel.
The display shows the number of copies.
Copying using roll 1 or roll 2
You can select between two rolls by pressing the ‘media’ button. When a roll is chosen, the copy material is taken from the selected roll.
Note: Only use paper as specified in ‘Copy material that can be used’ on page 140.
▼ Selecting roll 1, roll 2 or manual feed
1 Press the ‘media’ button until the indicator that corresponds with your choice lights up.
Copying using manual feed
If you want to copy a job on a paper type and/or size that is not available on the paper rolls, it can be convenient to manually feed sheets of paper instead of changing the paper rolls. The sheet feed is a special slot just above the paper roll drawers on the print engine. You can insert pre-cut copy material in this slot, one sheet at a time. Also refer to ‘Printing using the manual feed’ on page 44.
You have to program the media settings before using manual feed. Refer to 'Programming media type settings' on page 46.
▼ Selecting manual feed
1 Feed the original in portrait orientation.
2 Press the 'media' button until the manual feed indicator lights up.
3 .Make other settings if required.
4 Press the 'start' button.
5 Wait for the message 'FEED SHEET' in the printer display.
6 Feed the copy material in portrait orientation (min. length 420 mm).
7 Hold the paper until the engine pulls-in the first part of the sheet.
Attention: If sheets of copy material are curled, feed them in with the curl facing down, otherwise the drum can be damaged.
8 If the copy job requires more sheets, the printer display will ask to feed the next sheet.
9 Repeat step 5 to 8 to complete the job.

natural_image

Attention: If you do not wait until the message ‘FEED SHEET’ appears, you may get a paper jam, or a print job is using the wrong sheet of paper.
Note: Manual feed time-out (see ‘Setting the time-out for manual feed’ on page 47).
Reduction/enlargement
With the Océ 9400 you can reduce or enlarge your original from 25% to 400%. By pressing the ‘zoom’ button you can toggle between the fixed step zoom mode or the % zoom mode. In fixed steps mode 8 pre-set zoom settings are available. You can select the zoom factor by means of the ‘up’ or ‘down’ button when the indication is flashing. Also refer to ‘Overview of standard zoom formats’ on page 142.
▼ Making reduced/enlarged copies with pre-set zoom settings
1 Press the 'zoom' button to activate the steps zoom mode.
2 Press the ‘up’ or ‘down’ button to select the required reduction/enlargement ratio.
The display shows the chosen ratio. If you make adjustments using this button, one of the indications above the button is flashing. If the adjustment differs from the default setting, the indication remains on. You confirm the setting by pressing the zoom, edge, cut, media or start button.
▼ Making reduced/enlarged copies with 1% steps
1 Press the 'zoom' button to activate the % zoom mode.
2 Press the ‘up’ or ‘down’ button to select the required reduction/enlargement ratio.
The display shows the chosen ratio. If you make adjustments using this button, one of the indications above the button is flashing. If the adjustment differs from the default setting, the indication remains on. You confirm the setting by pressing the zoom, edge, cut, media or start button.
Copying using synchro or standard cut
In synchro cut mode, the copy is cut at the length of the original, taking into account the zoom factor and the leading/trailing edge setting. Synchro cut mode is selected by default.
In standard cut mode, the copy is cut at a standard format (portrait). You select the width of the standard format with the 'up' or 'down' button.
Example: selecting 36 inches, means selecting a format of 36 inches width and a corresponding 48 inches length. Independently of the roll width, the material is cut at a length of 48 inches.
Note: Depending on the used range of ISO, ANSI or ARCH you get the paper sizes mentioned in the appropriate column (see ‘Order of standard sizes for using standard cut’ on page 143).
If you make adjustments in standard mode using the cut button, the indication 'standard' above the button is flashing. After confirming the standard selection, the indication remains on. You confirm the setting by pressing the zoom, edge, cut, media or start button.
When choosing standard cut, the system always cuts at the selected length. Even if the real original length is shorter or longer than the selected length, taking into account the zoom factor and the leading/trailing edge setting, the cut will be made at the selected length.
Selecting synchro or standard cut
1 Press the 'cut' button to select the cut mode you want. The indicator of the chosen cut mode will light.
If you select standard cut:
2 Press the 'up' or 'down' button' to select the required cut length.
The required length is shown in the operating display. You confirm the setting by pressing the zoom, edge, cut, media or start button.
For an overview of the possible standard lengths refer to ‘Order of standard sizes for using standard cut’ on page 143.
Adjusting the leading/trailing edge
Increasing the copy length to accommodate for a filing strip is possible by selecting a positive leading/trailing edge.
If you don't want the filing strip to show on the copy, it is possible to remove it, by selecting a negative leading or trailing edge. The adjustment steps are indicated on the operating panel, expressed in millimetres or inches.
Adjusting the leading/trailing edge
1 Press the 'edge' button to toggle between leading and trailing edge.
2 Press the ‘up’ or ‘down’ button to select the the required leading/trailing edge value. The length of the currently selected edge is shown in the display. If you make adjustments using this button the indications above the button are flashing. If the adjustment differs from the default setting, the indication remains on. You confirm the setting by pressing the zoom, edge, cut, media or start button.
Attention: Be aware that decreasing the edges too much may result in a loss of information.
The behaviour of adjusting the leading/trailing edge is different, depending on using roll feed or manual feed (see ‘Leading/trailing edge when copying on rolls of paper’ on page 61) and ‘Leading/trailing edge when copying on sheet of paper’ on page 62).

[26] Dataflow to the Océ 9400
When an Océ 9400 receives vector (HP-GL, HP-GL/2, VDF, BGL, Calcomp 906/907), raster (HP-RTL, TIFF, CALS) or PostScript (PostScript level 2 optional) data it will generate a plot with the settings (e.g. number of copies, plotter emulation etc.) as specified on the operator console in Program Mode.
In order to gain maximum flexibility, each plot job can be preceded by remote control commands to specify the settings to be used for this job. This so-called header contains job and file specific settings (e.g. number of copies) in Remote Control Format (RCF) which overrule the settings programmed in Program Mode.
In order to compose such a header, you may:
■ Compose the header within your application. Please refer to the Océ 9400 Programmers Manual for details about the RCF syntax and functionality.
- Use an Océ Windows and/or Autocad ADI driver to generate both a plottable file (e.g. HP-RTL, HP-GL/2) and the appropriate header with RCF-commands. Please refer to the Océ Windows / Autocad Driver documentation for more details.
- Use the Océ Windows application Plot Director in order to compose jobs of plotable files in a very flexible and user friendly way. Please refer to the Océ Plot Director manual for more detail.

Chapter 6 Upload jobs
This chapter describes the digitizing analogue drawings while using the Océ 9400.

Introduction
The Océ 9400 can be used also for digitizing analogue drawings and uploading them to a host computer using a SCSI-interface. Therefore the Scan to file option is required.
This option consists of the following parts:
■ OLB SCSI-board to be inserted in the Océ 9400 controller
■ Scan Station software for the Océ 9400
■ SCSI-board (option) in the PC to connect the Océ 9400
▼ Making uploads
After everything has been installed correctly on the Oce 9400 and on the PC both systems should be connected with SCSI-cable and the uploading can start.
1 Switch on the Oce 9400 and the PC.
2 Start the Upload application and set all scan parameters as required and proceed as follows. (Also refer to the Scan Station manual).
As soon as the upload is started with the application, the Océ 9400 printer panel displays “SCANMODE” after which the system is ready to make uploads.
3 Insert an original in the scanner, make the required settings on the scanner's operating panel and press the Start-button on the scanner (see also notes below).
4 When the original has been scanned and transported back to its start position, a checkplot is made. If this has been selected to do so in the Scan Station application. The checkplot is made on the media which has been selected on the scanner's operating panel.
5 Then the Océ 9400 controller creates the file which will be uploaded to the PC. When the file is uploaded it can be viewed on the PC.
6 Settings can be modified on the PC and on the scanner and a next original can be scanned, or the current original can be re-scanned with the new settings.
7 The Upload process can be stopped on the PC and the Océ 9400 is free for print and/or copy jobs. (Also refer to the Scan Station manual)
The following buttons are disabled on the Oce 9400 scanner operating panel when it is in Upload mode:
- Cut
■ Edge, except negative leading edge - Zoom
- Display of number of copies is fixed to "1" if checkplot is enabled on the Scan Station application.
The following buttons are disabled on the Oce 9400 scanner operating panel when it is in Upload mode and checkplot is disabled:
■ Media
■ + and - for number of copies
■ Display for number of copies is cleared
The size of the drawing which can be uploaded (and printed with checkplot) is limited by the amount of memory which is installed in the Océ 9400 controller and the bitmap partitioning (see ‘Setting the bitmap buffer’ on page 32).
Chapter 7 Customizing the printer
How to set the Océ 9400 defaults to accommodate print jobs that you use most frequently.

Defining pen settings
When printing files, the pen settings can be changed in the pen menu. You can change the default width and pattern for each pen number. These settings apply to all vector languages: HP-GL, HP-GL/2 CalComp, VDF and BGL.
Pen width can be defined from 0.08 up to 10.75 mm (0.0031" to 0.423"). By default all pen widths are set to 0.25 mm (0.009"). Adjustment can be made in steps of 0.01 mm.
A pen can be selected by the plot file to draw a line or to fill a polygon. All lines or polygons on the plot can be drawn with a predefined pattern or shade of grey. Default is pen pattern 16. The following pen patterns are available.
The rendering function can be divided into clustered or cloud. With this option you can change the first 16 pen patterns into another 16 gray-shaded pen patterns.
Attention: Clustered must be used if your originals contain big gray areas. Use cloud to get an optimal result with line drawings.

PostScript level 2
The Océ PostScript level 2 printer option can be used to print PostScript files on the Océ 9400. Océ provides host software to print from Windows or Macintosh applications.
This enables your printer to become a true wide format printer, producing monochrome posters from Illustrator, Word, Excel, QuarkXpress, Powerpoint, Pagemaker etc. as well as CAD or electronic design applications, among others.
Your PostScript document can be printed on any PostScript printer and the output should look the same. The Océ 9400 PostScript driver takes care of translating the application's internal data into PostScript, and it also makes sure you can select printer features in a simple way.
PostScript data format selection
When the PostScript option is installed, your printer will automatically recognize the PostScript language sent to the printer.
Note: When you are using the EtherTalk connection, you must select PostScript on the operating panel (via Ethernet - Print Server option).
Note: It is very important that every print file terminates with an end of print instruction. The PostScript end of print instruction is “Ctrl D”.
If there are files in the Media Saver, they will be flushed (printed) before the PostScript file is interpreted.
If your print is not recognized correctly, send it again with the appropriate data format selected on the control panel or in a remote control file.
Manual data format selection
You must manually setup the printer to PostScript when you want to use interactive mode when using Serial or Ethertalk option (specially for Macintosh). Refer to 'Setting manual data format' on page 81.

The Océ 9400 offers two options for optimizing media usage for printing: Nesting and Autoposition. This applies for vector and raster formats. The media saver can also be set off.
Media saver is flushed:
■ after a time out
■ when a copy job is interrupting the printing process
■ when selecting another roll or manual feed
- by the flush media saver on the printer operating panel also refer to ‘Flush media saver’ on page 107.
Note: When automatic roll selection is used, the media saver is not active.
To use the media saver the following conditions must be set:
- cut methods = synchro
- center = off
■ leading- and trailing edge = 0.
Nesting
When nesting is selected, prints are stored in queues in the printer's memory, according to their size: A4 or A, A3 or B, A2 or C and mixed A4/A3. When the queue is full, the drawings are printed across the full width of the media.
The minimum paper length is 420 mm, so when printing A3 landscape or A4, an extra white strip of paper appears at the end.
If the print is larger than A2 or C size it will not be stored in a queue, but will be printed normally. If prints are not standard ISO, ANSI or Architecture sizes, the next larger format will be used (see figure 31 on page 105).

13 Press next/selectm the setting.
14 Press (Poolgrave the main menu.
Note: If autoscale is selected, x-scaling and y-scaling are not applicable.
Autoscaling
The purpose of Autoscale is to get documents on exact ISO/ANSI/Architect formats. The scaling factor applied to the X and Y axis is the same. Before computing this scaling factor, an auto rotation could be performed to get the best autoscale.
The Media Saver and the Autoscaling Mode are controlled separately but do interact.
The Autoscale Mode can be activated in two ways;
■ autoscale to a predefined format (ISO/ANSI/Architect)
■ best fit.
The user can combine Autoscale and Autoposition: plost are first autoscaled (best fit or scale to format, if needed), and then autopositioned (if needed).
Fit to Format Mode:
All the drawings regardless their sizes, are reduced/enlarged to one specific standard size. This option could be combined with the Media saver possibilities.
The list of predefined formats depends on the media format selected on the printer operating panel.
Users can enlarge drwaings to poster size to make presentations to large audience. They can also reduce documents to easily mail them or archive them in standard A3 or A4 books.
Best fit Mode:
In this mode, the drawing will be reduced to fit in either the length or the width direction of the format loaded in the machine and as long no information is lost (no clipping). Only plots larger than the loaded paper size are scaled/rotated, and the others are printed without scaling.
Note: This mode does not enlarge drawings, but only reduces them.
This option makes no sense with the Nesting option. In fact, if the Nesting is On, it will never have any result.
This mode prevents clipping of any plot larger than the media loaded on the machine.
If AUTOSCALE is off and if your drawing is larger than the physical dimensions of the media, the printer will automatically clip the area outside the margins. The CLIPPING message appears on the display while the printer automatically compensates for the discrepancy. Clipping does not affect the position of the print origin.

[33] Print clipping
A: Only the left part of the drawing is plotted.
B: The part of the drawing outside the margins is clipped.

Interfaces
Centronics protocol
Centronics uses hardware handshaking. The computer sends a STROBE signal to move each byte of data into the printer, at which time the printer signals BUSY. When the transfer is complete, the printer sends ACKNOWLEDGE to the computer and another cycle can begin.
Serial protocols
Two types of computer-to-printer handshaking (and their variants) are available on the Océ 9400 printer:
- Hardware
- XON/XOFF
According to the selected emulation, handshake protocols can be set either through the software or the control panel.
When invoking a handshake protocol manually, the printer offers you the following character transmission handshaking selection:
■ CTS2 for hardware handshaking
■ XON4 for XON/OFF software handshaking
Your host or software documentation should tell you which handshaking is needed.
- XON4: The printer sends XON when its buffer has enough memory to receive character data. It sends an XOFF character to the computer when its buffer is almost full, indicating that the computer should stop sending characters.
- CTS2: Whenever the printer's buffer has enough memory to accept characters, it activates the CTS signal. It then de-activates the signal when the buffer is full.
Note: Hardware handshaking is enabled using the HP-GL ESC.P3 instruction. Xon/Xoff handshaking is enabled via the software using the ESC.P1 HP-GL instruction.
SCSI protocol
When the printer is attached to a SCSI-bus, it behaves itself as a standard SCSI tape device. SCSI tape commands are used to address the Océ 9400 for upload.
Ethernet protocol
When the printer is equipped with an Ethernet interface you can connect the printer to:
- TCP/IP
■ IPX (Novell netware) - Ethertalk network.
■ NETBIOS (over TCP/IP).
For more details refer to the Ethernet print server user manual.
Centronics port configuration
The Centronics parallel port is located at the rear of the printer. It is a mini Amphenol 36 pin female connector.
The following table describes the Centronics port pin assignment. For further details, refer to the IEEE P1284 standard.

EPA ENERGY STAR®
Océ-Technologies B.V. has joined the ENERGY STAR ^® Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The purpose of the ENERGY STAR ^® Program is to promote the manufacturing and marketing of energy-efficient equipment, thereby potentially reducing combustion-related pollution. Using the energy management features outlined below prevents unnecessary power consumption, which helps to prevent air pollution from electricity generating plants and saves money on your utility bills.
As an ENERGY STAR ^® Partner, Océ-Technologies B.V. has determined that this copier model meets the ENERGY STAR ^® guidelines for energy efficiency.
The EPA ENERGY STAR ^® Criteria for copiers involve the following features:
auto-off feature The use of the auto-off feature offers economic and environmental benefits. The copier is shipped with the auto-off default time set at 90 minutes, which means that the copier automatically switches itself off 90 minutes after the last copy is made ^1 . The auto-off default time can be adjusted by the key operator to between 2 and 240 minutes. It is suggested to determine the appropriate default time for your work pattern by changing the setting in steps of 30 minutes and testing each setting for at least a week. Only if an auto-off default time of 240 minutes still causes you sizeable inconvenience, due to your particular usage pattern, should you request the Océ service technician to disable the auto-off feature.
low power mode In the low power mode, the power consumption of certain functions is automatically reduced to save energy. The copier enters the low power mode 15 minutes after the last copy is made ^1 . This default time can be adjusted by the key operator to between 2 and 240 minutes. The low power mode recovery time is less than 3 seconds, after which copying can be resumed.
automatic duplex mode Using both sides of paper reduces paper costs, national energy consumption and the amount of paper in the waste disposal process. You are encouraged to duplex (make double-sided copies) as often as feasible or to choose double-sided copying as the default setting.
recycled copier paper The use of recycled paper also benefits the environment. This copier is designed to use recycled paper. Product literature on recommended types of recycled copier paper can be obtained from your local Océ company or Océ Headquarters (Océ-Technologies B.V.) in Venlo, the Netherlands.
^1 For power consumption data: see Product Safety Data Sheet in this appendix.

ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.
