The folder 201
Off-line folding
An important productivity feature provided by the Océ TDS400 folder is the
possibility to make off-line folds. For off-line folding the same settings can be
made as for normal folding. By default, the predefined settings in the Océ
Settings Editor for off-line folding are used. Polyester or transparent media
cannot be folded. This may result in a media jam.
Note: Use off-line folding only for sheets which do not exceed a maximum
length of 6 m. If you try to fold a sheet longer than 6 m anyway, an error occurs.
▼ Make off-line folds
1 Switch the printer off-line on the printer operator panel and wait for the printer
to finish the jobs that are already in the printer.
Note: Watch the light on the top cover of the folder.
■ If this is off, the printer is on-line and off-line folding is not possible.
■
If this is blinking slowly, the printer is off-line, but the folder still processing
the last prints.
■ If this is blinking rapidly, an error has occurred.
■ If this is on, the printer is off-line and you can feed a sheet.
Note: Also refer to the sticker on the top cover of the folder.
2 Make any settings for (off-line) folding on the printer operator panel.
3 Feed the sheet of paper face down and with the legend on your right-hand side.
Also make certain that you feed the paper with the legend on the right-hand
side (see ‘Océ TDS400 folder’ on page 196 for more information).
Note: Wait until the light on the folder no longer blinks before you feed a
new sheet. Otherwise a media jam may occur.
4 Collect your output.
