Introduction to how to ensure the best quality output
Introduction
This chapter describes how to make sure you have the best quality for your 
print jobs, scan-to-file jobs and copy jobs.
It is important to know that the quality of your copy output depends on both 
the scan quality of the scanner and the print quality of the printer.
■The Océ TCS400 offers several methods that help you to define the best 
print mode for your job. These methods are described in the Output modes 
section of this chapter.
■The Océ TCS400 has 3 methods that help you to identify and analyze 
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 Optimize the output 
quality section of this chapter helps you to correct the problems. (see ‘Use 
the Optimize print quality wizard’ on page141).
Remember that the output quality depends on the following:
■Media type 
(see ‘Change the type of media defined on the printer’ on page164)
■Output mode
(see ‘Introduction to the output modes’ on page118)
■Room temperature and humidity.
When to do
Only perform actions to optimize the output quality based on the information 
supplied in the Check the output quality  section.

							Ensure the best quality output 117
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. (see ‘Change the type of media defined on 
the printer’ on page164).
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
■The colored lines are not well aligned
■Missing sections in lines or stepped lines
■Missing parts of text
■Drop-out caused by nozzle problems.
2Make sure you defined the correct output mode for your job. (see 
‘Introduction to the output modes’ on page118).
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. (see ‘Introduction 
to the output modes’ on page 118).
3Finally, if 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. (see ‘Optimize the output quality on the printer’ on 
page137) and (see ‘Optimize the output quality from the scanner’ on 
page144)

Output modes
Introduction to the output modes
Introduction
The Océ TCS400 enables you to select the correct mode for your output 
requirements. You can select the following modes:
■Modes related to color
■Modes related to the output quality
■Modes related to file content 
■Modes related to image type.
When you perform 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 Océ Settings Editor.
Modes related to color
Use this setting to define the color mode of the Océ TCS400. You can select 
the following:
[16 ] The c olor mo des
[16] The color modes
Color mode Function
Color The Océ TCS400 prints the jobs in full color.
Use this setting when the image on the original is in color 
and the printed output requirement is color.
Grayscale The Océ TCS400 prints the jobs in grayscale.
Use this setting when the image on the original is in color 
and the printed output requirement is greyscale.
Use this setting when the image on the original is grey-
scale.

Modes related to the output quality
Use these modes to define the output quality. You can select the following:
[17 ] Th e outp ut qual ity
[17] The output quality
Quality mode Function
Check The print speed is very high. The output quality is good.
Use this setting when output quality is not the most im-
portant. For example, to check if all the information is 
visible on the printed output.
Release The print speed is high. The output quality is very good.
This quality mode offers a good combination of output 
quality and productivity. Use this setting to print good 
quality drawings at high speed. For example, to approve 
bid-sets or for internal releases of drawings.
Presentation The print speed is moderate. The output quality is opti-
mal.
Use this setting when you need the best possible output 
quality. For example, to present drawings to the custom-
ers.

Modes related to file content for the print jobs
Use the content modes to define the best output quality for your original file.
[18 ] Conten t mode s (prin t job s)
[18] Content modes (print jobs)
Content mode Function
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 colors. The Area fills mode is the best mode for 
files that contain filled areas. For example GIS files.
Lines/Text 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
