Océ VarioPrint 135 have, and familiarize themselves with, the information in this document prior to making their purchase. Product Overview The Océ VarioPrint 135 is a co-development product of Canon and Océ. This machine integrates Canon’s accessories with Océ’s engine, PRISMAsync controller, and operation management.
2.1 Summary of Functions Function Océ VarioPrint 135 Print Speed (LTR) B&W 135 ipm Simplex, B&W and Color Scan Speed 120 ipm (300 dpi, LTR) Duplex, B&W and Color Simplex, B&W and 100 ipm Color Scan Speed (600 dpi, LTR) Duplex, B&W and 25 ipm...
2.2 Offset Press vs. Océ DirectPress Offset printing is a technique that transfers (or “offsets”) an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the offset press to maintain a consistent and high-image quality over long print runs because the plate never touches the paper.
2.4 PRISMAsync Controller The Océ VarioPrint 135 is powered by Océ’s PRISMAsync Print Controller. The PRISMAsync controller seamlessly enables the customer to streamline their workflow and turn out more work in less time with the following features: • Scheduler - Plan-ahead functionality for multiple jobs simultaneously. The scheduler only shows an estimated job completion time, not the actual time it may take to complete a job.
2.4.2 PRISMAsync Firmware Updates It is recommended that a technician use a specific kind of USB stick to upgrade or restore the PRISMAsync controller firmware. The USB stick is NOT included in the PRISMAsync box. The USB stick used for upgrading the controller firmware must adhere to specific technical requirements.
2.5 Professional Input/Output Accessories The Océ VarioPrint 135 features many input and output accessories that allow customers working in office environments to complete large jobs directly from the machine. For more information on the input and output accessories that can be attached to the machine, see “Specifications,”...

System Options and Software The functionality of the Océ VarioPrint 135 can be expanded by installing system related optional software. This section describes the system related optional software and their functions. 7.1 Remote User Interface-C1 The Remote User Interface-C1 license enables users to access the status window of the machine remotely from any computer on the same network.
Installation Review This chapter describes the necessary number of technicians required to install the machine properly, the time required to install the main unit and optional equipment, and customer installation responsibilities. 8.1 Installation Time The time required to install the Océ VarioPrint 135 depends on the options and accessories to be installed, and the number of technicians performing the installation.
Printer Operation Care POC (Printer Operation Care) enables an owner of the Océ VarioPrint 135 to perform self-service on the machine. If an owner wants to perform POC, the VarioPrint 135 Base License V2 with POC should be purchased, along with the VarioPrint DP LINE POC Kit-A1. The VarioPrint DP LINE POC Kit-A1 contains the necessary parts and tools that the owner needs to perform self-service on their machine at the estimated time of replacement (shown in the table below).
10. Consumables Consumables are all products and materials that are consumed with regular use and cannot be reused. Such consumables include, but are not limited to, paper, chemicals, and toner. A number of factors go into the approximate life expectancy of a consumable item, including paper size and the amount of coverage per page.
Therefore, consumable parts do not have a warranty, and Canon U.S.A., Inc. cannot guarantee a minimum life. 10.1.1 Estimated Life of Consumables The tables below state the estimated life expectancy yields based on LTR size paper.
• If the machine is maintained and serviced by a Canon authorized service technician • If only Genuine Canon service parts for the accessories and Océ consumable...
13. Optimum Monthly Product Performance The table below describes the differences between the optimum PCV (Print Copy Volume) and maximum PCV. Please note that the numbers in the table are for reference purposes only, and depend strongly on the type of media selected and environmental conditions.
14. Machine Reliability and Productivity This chapter describes the reliability and productivity of the Océ VarioPrint 135. 14.1 Machine Reliability and Service Call Ratio The service call ratio varies, depending on the total print volume, installation environment, image ratio, paper size, and paper type. Monthly Print Volume 200,000 Print Volume Over a 5...
14.2 Print Speed The table below describes the printing speeds one should expect when printing simplex or duplex documents on the indicated paper size and type. This applies to both the main unit and the ePIM-C1. Paper Weight Less than 31 lb bond to Greater than Mode...
14.4 Paper and Toner The operator can maintain productivity by removing, replacing, and refilling the paper and toner while the machine is running. The paper trays can also be opened and refilled during operation. The tray that is used by the machine during production, however, will be locked. Once the job completes, or the machine switches to another tray, the empty tray unlocks, allowing the operator to prepare for the next job, and add more paper.
15. Media Usage/Compatibility The Océ VarioPrint 135 maintains reliable, predictable, and high-quality output. Consistency of the output is dependent on knowing and compensating for the variables of a print job. The Océ VarioPrint 135 incorporates many control systems which compensate for environmental and print process conditions. Another variable is the print media.
15.2 Media Specific Adjustments The media specific adjustments are for customers who want to precisely adjust the image quality per paper type that is registered in the machine. The following settings can be manually adjusted through the Settings Editor > Media >...
15.3 Advanced Media Settings The Advanced media settings are for customers who want to use advanced print settings to avoid certain print quality issues. The following settings can be adjusted from the operator panel through System > Setup > Advanced media settings. The table below describes the Advanced media settings and each setting’s description.
15.4 Paper Handling and Storage • The permissible humidity range for paper storage is 20% to 80% (with a room temperature of 62.6°F to 82.4°F (17°C to 28°C)). Storing paper in a location that does not meet these specifications may affect paper feeding and image quality. •...
15.5 Selecting the Correct Media A media guide is available that provides detailed information on the recommended media, such as acceptable paper, paper specifications, and acceptable storage and print conditions. For more information, contact your servicing dealer. IMPORTANT If non-recommended ink or drying powder, not suitable for digital printing, were used to create the preprinted media, damage to important parts of the printing system may occur, or the digital printing performance can seriously deteriorate.
