Before you send print jobs to the Océ PlotWave 300, remember the following.
The values defined in the Océ Express WebTools are default values for the general system
behavior. You can define a number of job settings in the Océ printer drivers or the Océ
job submission tools. The settings defined in the printer drivers or the job submission
tools always overrule the settings defined in the Océ Express WebTools.

							Define the default output quality for print jobs
Introduction
The Océ Express WebTools offers 2 settings to optimize the default output quality for
print jobs.
You can find these settings in the 'Preferences' - 'Print job defaults' tab.
Note:
Before you can edit a setting or a settings group, you must log on as a Key operator.
'Print optimization'
The quality of the printed output is optimized based on the content of the print file.
#
DescriptionValues
'Standard' is the default value.'Standard'
'Line/text' is the advised value for line drawings, because lines
are sharpened.
'Line/text'
'Poster or photo' is the advised value for posters and large pho-
tos, because the printed output is optimized for large gray areas.
'Poster or photo'
'Keep blackness for posters and photos'
#
DescriptionValues
You can enable this setting if the 'Preferences' - 'System settings'
- 'Printer properties' - 'Print-darkness (toner reduction)' setting
is set to a negative value. In that case the toner reduction will
not be used if you print posters or photos.

							Define the copy job preferences and copy templates
Introduction
Here you can define the general copy job settings and four copy templates.
What you need to know about copy templates
Copy templates enable you to easily perform copy jobs that you do very often. The job
templates appear on the user panel when you select 'COPY'.
With a copy template you can pre-define the settings you need for a copy job. You only
need to set the job settings once and you can store the settings in a job template that is
presented on the user panel. You can re-use the job template for each next job without
the need to redefine all the settings every time. The user panel offers 4 job templates for
copy jobs.
The job template function supports the green button approach: the user only needs to
select a template and start a job with the required settings instead of having to define all
the settings manually for every job.
Note:
When you select a copy template on the user panel, you can still change the individual
values of al settings.
Note:
Before you can edit a setting or a settings group, you must log on as a Key operator.
