Océ VarioPrint 1105

Paper Output and Finishing Options 
 

The Océ VarioPrint 1105 can 
be configured in many ways to 
accommodate a wide range of workflow 
environments.  
 
While many will focus on the wide range of 
folding and other finishing options that the 
Océ VarioPrint 1105 offers, the 
biggest differentiator in the eyes of many 
back office print shop managers will be the 
less glamorous option of two 5,000 sheet 
wheeled dolly stackers that combined add 
up to 10,000 sheets of stacking capacity.  
 
Many print shops will already have invested 
in heavy-duty offline finishing equipment 
such as perfect binders, bookmakers, 
custom punch units, guillotines etc.  
 
Competing units with their roots in the front 
office rely upon users wanting inline 
finishing. As a result, they tend to have a 
large tray stacker that 
can hold between 
3,000-4,000 sheets, 
less than half the 
stacking capacity of the 
Océ VarioPrint 1105.  
 
Furthermore, the 
stacker on these units 
takes longer to empty 
with multiple lifting 
actions being required 
to avoid back strain.  
 
This takes the device 
offline for longer 
periods of time until the 
stacker tray has been 
emptied.  
 
In contrast, the Océ 
VarioPrint 1105 
offers two high 
 

capacity 5,000-sheet stacker units on wheels 
that can be rolled off quickly, allowing 
production to continue with the minimum of 
downtime.  
 
The high capacity stacker units must be 
positioned directly against the engine unit of 
the Océ VarioPrint 1105. It is also possible 
to combine the optional folding unit (not to 
be confused with the booklet maker/trimmer) 
with the optional high capacity stacker. The 
Océ VarioPrint 1105 uses 2 different high 
capacity stackers, the LS-501 can only be 
used within the configuration. The L-502 
can only be used as an end-of-line module.
 
All other finishing options cannot 
be added in addition to the stacker units. 
In total 18 system configurations are 
feasible at the Océ VarioPrint 1105.
