How to Use the Océ Arizona 400 Series XT
Vacuum System
Introduction
The Océ Arizona 400 Series XT uses a vacuum system to secure rigid
media for printing on the printer table. Two independent vacuum pumps
provide vacuum to the table, which is divided into multiple vacuum zones.
Pump 1 provides vacuum to the A Zones and the Center Zone. The
operator can control vacuum flow to the Center Zone with the manual On/
Off valve. Pump 2 provides vacuum to the B Zones. All XT printers are
shipped with metric vacuum zones. It is possible to change the
configuration from metric to imperial in the field by a qualified service
technician (the technician who installats your printer can do this, if
needed).
The independent control of the zones allows the operator to print in a Dual
Origin mode with minimal down time.

There are three A zones and three B zones as indicated in the illustration.
These zones are controlled by five vacuum handles. Zones B1 and A1 are
always on when the vacuum is activated. Zones A2, A3 and B2, B3 are
controlled by the position of the two left and two right vacuum handles.
