“The design of the Océ VarioPrint 6250
represents a major market development. It
combines Océ expertise in feeding and finishing
with an innovative use of print engine tech-
nology. The duplex approach to the print engine
reduces the overall cost of the device. It lowers not
only the capital cost, but also lessens service
requirements since the paper does not need to
recirculate for duplexing.”

Fast, versatile, cut sheet devices provide capabilities ideal for in-plants
and commercial print shops, including the ability to run multiple
substrates and insert pages in a job during production. But many of
these jobs have been too costly to produce on older cut-sheet devices
because of speed or substrate limitations. Today, a faster, more versatile
digital press with state-of-the-art paper handling options and simulta-
neous duplexing can deliver an affordable, comprehensive cut-sheet
solution for a wide range of documents.
Incorporating advanced technology like Océ Gemini Instant Duplex
puts the Océ VarioPrint 6250 in a class by itself when it comes to
productivity. Unlike other devices, it is designed from the ground up as
a duplex printer capable of printing up to 250 letter-, 160 legal-, and
132 ledger-size duplex prints per minute, making it up to 70 percent
more productive than any other device in its class.
Certainly, duplexing is an essential capability for jobs like short-run
books, booklets, manuals, reports, and technical documentation.
But there are other applications that can help drive growth if print
providers can support them—specifically duplex tabs, inserts, and
professional finishing capabilities—all of which are readily supported by
the Océ VarioPrint 6250 system.
The Océ VarioPrint 6250 is designed for non-stop throughput and
superior paper handling too. This means that it supports custom paper
sizes, coated media, duplex tabs, inserts, and preprinted paper stock—
opening up a world of application and revenue-generating
opportunities. As for throughput, it comes standard with four drawers,
each with a capacity of 4,600 sheets. With a maximum configuration of
three paper input modules (12 paper drawers total), operators can load
up to 13,800 sheets of any size at once to print unattended and uninter-
rupted for up to four hours. All input drawers can serve as interposers,
inserting media via a separate cold paper path, eliminating the added
expense and need for dedicated inserter/interposer modules. And
because operators can load paper while the machine is running, it can
print up to 15,840 letter-size (7,920 ledger size) prints per hour with
minimal intervention.
Adding an optional output module of 6,000 sheets—for a total of
12,000 sheets—further increases throughput. Indeed, the Océ
VarioPrint 6250 has the largest paper input/output capacity for larger
media sizes and supports letter, ledger, oversized and custom size media.
All of this capacity generates productivity increases that enable operators
and print professionals to turn their attention to more pressing business
issues. What’s more, no adjustments are needed because the stacker can
stack any sheet size, in any order.
As for finishing, an integrated finishing interface smoothly connects to
third-party products for more application variety and enhanced back-
end productivity. Users can choose options for stacking, set finishing,
professional square-bound booklet making, perfect/cover binding,
folding, and punching.
