BERTL REPORTS :: SUMMARY :: OCÉ TDS700 :: OVERVIEW Page 2 of 6 Overview The Océ TDS700 is an extremely versatile wide-format imaging system suitable for a variety of applications and environments, including CAD, AEG, GIS, reprographics, corporate central reprographics departments (CRDs), as well as in government, legal and front-office environments. The Océ TDS700 begins as a wide-format printer-only system that can be expanded with a choice of scanner (monochrome or color), Océ Scan Logic software for network scanning, and Océ Print Exec LT or Océ Repro Desk options for automated job submission. Copy, Scan, Process & Print Do It All Simultaneously Print Device Features Summary The Océ TDS700 s powerful new Océ Power Logic controller will meet the needs of the most demanding workfl ows with its ability to simultaneously copy, scan, process and print. And of course, reprinting copy and print jobs is as simple as selecting a job in the history queue and selecting the Print button. And, with the Océ TDS700, work can continue without interruption even when replacing toner. With other systems, printing (and productivity) comes to a halt when toner needs to be replaced. Not so with the Océ TDS700, which enables users to replace toner without having to halt printing or copying. The result? Maximum uptime.

BERTL REPORTS :: SUMMARY :: OCÉ TDS700 :: PRINT Page 3 of 6 Print BERTL has custom-designed a selection of test documents to investigate the ability of wide-format devices to reproduce fonts, fine lines and graphics in both a monochrome and color environment. BERTL used these test documents to evaluate the Océ TDS700 s image quality, and found that its image quality was outstanding in its default 600 dpi, standard, and grayscale modes. It produced images that were both crisp and clear, and lines and text reproduced accurately and sharply. It printed text fl awlessly down to 4 pt., and lines reproduced well down to 0.25 pt. Realizing that we cannot possibly show every mode and corresponding options such as resolution and grayscale, BERTL chose to show how printing color lines and text is affected while printing in grayscale, standard mode. The illustrations to the right highlight how the print-mode selection affects text and lines when printing color text and lines in 600 dpi, grayscale, standard mode, and in 600 dpi, standard, true b/w vector. Notice how the line becomes sharper and easier to distinguish. The true black-and-white vector setting is an important capability to have when text and lines need to be sharp and the variation in grayscale for color is not going to be considered. Of course, in some cases, such as when printing drafts of large, complex documents that do not require high image quality, users may wish to keep file sizes to a minimum. In such cases, they can conveniently select a lower resolution in order to minimize file size.
BERTL REPORTS :: SUMMARY :: OCÉ TDS700 :: COPY Page 4 of 6 Copy With the Océ TDS700, copying is optional with the addition of either a monochrome or color scanner. The Océ TDS700 provides six copy modes: lines-and-text, photo, blueprint, grays-and-lines, dark original, and transparent, in order to ensure accurate capturing of every detail. Test Process: Copy (Color Lines and Text Original): BERTL tested three of the most commonly used modes: 1) photo mode, 2) grays-and-lines, and 3) lines-and-text. Original Test Documents Original document was printed from a PDF in color on a 1,200 x 2,400 dpi wide-format ink-jet printer and copied by the Océ TDS700 in lines-and-text and photo modes. The images below represent the original that was cropped from a 36 x48 document. Red original Photo mode. Arial. 0.25 pt. red line in Photo mode. Red Arial Type 4 pt., 6 pt., 8 pt., 10 pt.,12 pt. and 14 pt. Red original grays-andlines mode. Arial. 0.25 pt. red line in grays-and-lines mode. Red original lines-and-text mode. Arial. 0.25 pt. red line in lines-and-text mode. 0.25 line border in red. While photo mode is normally reserved for photographic or grayscale images, BERTL tested how it would handle color lines and text. The grays-and-lines mode was able to capture the 0.25 pt. red lines and the red text down to 4 pt. with almost the same clarity as in lines-and-text mode. The lines-and-text mode captured the red 0.25 pt. lines and 4 pt. text with great accuracy and sharpness. The lines-and-text mode lived up to its name and proved to be the mode of choice for this test. In lines-and-text mode, the Océ TSD700 reproduced both lines and text crisp and sharp, down to 4 pt. text and 0.25 pt. for lines. Grays-and-lines mode would be the mode of choice for documents that contain both pictures and lines and text.
BERTL REPORTS :: SUMMARY :: OCÉ TDS700 :: SCAN Page 5 of 6 Scan Scanner Technology Scanning is optional with the addition of either a monochrome or color scanner, and Océ s Scan Logic software. Océ s single camera with single mirror, a feature not found on most wide-format scanners, provides high quality, high resolution scans at up to 600 dpi. The scanner doesn t have a warm-up time and needs less maintenance as compared to other systems with multiple cameras that have to be calibrated periodically, and, in some cases, always leave noticeable differences between cameras. Scan image quality is further enhanced by Océ s unique Image Logic technology, which is incorporated into Océ s scanners. Océ s Image Logic technology assures consistent, excellent scanning image quality. It brings the highest level of quality to scanned documents, regardless of the type of original blueprint, sepia and even dark or old originals. Above and below: The Océ TSD700 s control panel for scanning. Scan Destinations A maximum of 10 frequently used scanning destinations can be set up in Océ Scan Manager through the Océ Power Logic controller. This reduces the time users must spend specifying settings when scanning to frequently used destinations. Scanning destinations include: The local controller. A Microsoft Windows network location with Server Message Block (SMB). Internet locations with File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Océ View Station LT Software Océ View Station LT software makes scanning easy by providing the user with an online preview of images being scanned. Many useful tools are included, such as a ruler, magnification, and rotate and fl ip, so that users can check the quality of the scanned image before sending it to its destination.

And, of course, the Océ TDS700 is built to withstand years of operation without customers needing to replace it every other year as with some other devices. The Océ Power Logic Controller is also a real standout it enables processing, printing, copying and scanning to occur simultaneously, so that users can scan or copy while others are working with the printer. This will help keep workfl ow fl owing and people productive. To make scanning even easier, Océ enables users to configure up to 10 preset one-touch scan destinations. The instant on operation of both the scanner and printer is also a big time saver and eliminates the frustration of waiting for the system to warm up before anything can be printed or scanned.
