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.

Make off-line folds

1Switch 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.

2Make any settings for (off-line) folding on the printer operator panel.

3Feed 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.

4Collect your output.
