PrintServer 32 Printer Optional Large Capacity Output Tray

This manual serves as a user and system manager's guide for the PrintServer 32 Printer Optional Large Capacity Output Tray (OLCOT). It details the operation, setup, and troubleshooting of this accessory, which is designed to handle large print jobs up to 3,000 sheets.

Key information includes:

• Requirements: The OLCOT requires a PrintServer 32 printer with a duplexing unit, specific software versions (DECprint Supervisor Software v1.0+ and PrintServer Software v5.0), and correct printer firmware.
• Supported Paper: It supports Letter (A-size), A4, Letter (LTR), and A4R paper sizes in both portrait and landscape modes.
• Components & Status: The document identifies the OLCOT's parts, such as the Tray Cover, Transport Unit, Elevator, and Tray Door, and explains the meaning of its Green Ready and Amber Error LED indicators, as well as messages on the printer's operator panel.
• User Tasks: It provides instructions for sending print jobs to the OLCOT using commands for OpenVMS and UNIX systems, and a step-by-step procedure for removing print jobs and clearing the tray. It also clarifies that the OLCOT's power switch acts as the master for both the tray and the printer.
• System Setup: For system managers, the guide explains that the OLCOT is best for large jobs (as it lacks sorting/offset features) and how to set it as the default output tray. It also covers specifying job separation pages (flag, burst, trailer) and designating a special input tray for these pages in OpenVMS and UNIX environments.
• Troubleshooting: Instructions are provided for clearing paper jams, identifying common causes of continuous jams (e.g., paper quality, unsupported sizes), and a procedure for isolating problems with the OLCOT. It lists indicators for a faulty OLCOT unit (e.g., elevator non-movement, transport motor failure) and provides contact information for Digital Services.
