Ensure the best quality
output
for your job. These methods are described in the 'Output modes' section of this
chapter.
The Oc TCS400 has 3 methods that help you to identify and analyse changes in the
output quality, the 'Quality check' print, the 'Tone scale area check' print, and the
'Demo print'. The 'Check the output quality' section of this chapter describes these
3 methods.
When you find problems with the output quality, the 'Optimise the output quality'
section of this chapter helps you to correct the problems. on page 151.
Remember that the output quality depends on the following.
Media type
Change the type of media defined on the printer on page 176
Output mode
on page 128
Room temperature and humidity.
When to do
Only do actions to optimise the output quality based on the information supplied in the
'Check the output quality' section.
When you are not satisfied with the output quality, use the following procedure
1. First, make sure that you load and define the correct media type on the printer.
Use the 'Change media type' wizard, to load a media roll and to change the media type
defined on the system. Change the type of media defined on the printer on page 176.
Then, make sure you define the correct media type for your job.
The following problems are never connected to media. Ignore the above steps for these
problems and directly continue with step 3.
The length and width measurements are different from the original
126
2. Make sure you defined the correct output mode for your job. on page 128.
Note:
The output modes for the print jobs match the output modes for the copy jobs with the
exception of the modes related to file content. Introduction to the output modes on page
128.
3. Finally, when you have defined the correct media and the correct print mode, and you
are still not satisfied with the output quality, use the wizards to achieve optimal output
quality. Optimise the output quality on the printer on page 147 and Optimise the output
quality from the scanner on page 154

Output modes
Introduction to the output modes
Introduction
The Oc TCS400 enables you to select the correct mode for your output requirements.
You can select the following modes.
Modes related to colour
Modes related to the output quality
Modes related to file content
Modes related to image type.
When you do print jobs, define the required output modes in the printer driver.
When you do copy jobs, define the required output modes on the 'Image' card on the
scanner operator panel.
Define the default output modes in the Oc Settings Editor.
Modes related to colour
Use this setting to define the colour mode of the Oc TCS400. You can select the following.

'Area fills'
When you select the 'Area fills' mode, the printer does ink reduction corrections. The ink reduction corrections prevent ink
saturation that can cause the cockling of the media.
When you select the 'Area fills' mode, the printer prints vivid
colours. The 'Area fills' mode is the best mode for files that
contain saturated filled areas.
When you select the 'Lines & Text' mode, the printer does not
do ink reduction corrections. When you print files that contain
filled areas in the 'Lines & Text' mode, ink saturation can occur.
Ink saturation can cause the cockling of the media.
The 'Lines & Text' mode is a fast and productive mode. The
'Lines & Text' mode is the best mode for files that contain line
drawings and text. For example 2D CAD drawings

Drying times
Typical drying times
Introduction
The printer automatically adapts the default drying time. The default drying time depends
on the following.
The media type
The ambient humidity
The print mode.
When you print greyscale in the 'Check' quality mode, the system decreases the drying
time to 20% of the default value.
You can change the drying time for all the media types. You can select a percentage of
0% - 999% of the default drying time Change the default drying time on page 189.

Fallback mode
Continuous printing
Fallback mode
Introduction
When printheads are failing, the Oc TCS400 can continue to print with the same output
quality. To use this option, the setting KO - Printer - Fallback mode in the Oc Settings
Editor must be enabled.
The fallback mode becomes active after the system performs an optimise print quality
action.
Use of the fallback mode
When the fallback mode is enabled, and printheads fail, the printer continues to print
with the same quality at half the speed.
When the printer is in the greyscale mode and a colour printhead fails, the printer continues to print greyscales at full speed. If a black printhead fails, the printer continues to
print at half the speed.
When the fallback mode is not enabled and you continue to print, the output quality
decreases. The print speed does not decrease. Replace a defective printhead on page 203
