Océ Quick Change Developer Station (QCDS)
An Exchangeable Developer Station That Transforms One Printer Into Many
With innovative Océ Quick Change Developer Station (QCDS) technology, your print operation can achieve far more productivity and return on your technology investment. Because, with the QCDS feature, you can optionally transform any one printing system into three printers in one.

The key is an exchangeable developer station that enables documents to be printed with standard black toner and either highlight color or MICR toner. By simply swapping out the black developer station for a MICR or highlight (spot) color developer station, you can change your printer functionality in a matter of minutes to print in standard duplex mode with MICR or highlight color. So, whether you?re printing payroll checks, insurance reimbursements, or coupons, switchable QCDS technology eliminates the need for dedicated MICR or highlight color devices.

Typically used by banks on checks, MICR, or Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, is a character recognition system that uses special ink and characters. The special ink characters enable a document to be passed through a machine that magnetizes the ink and translates magnetic information into characters. MICR provides a secure, high-speed method of scanning and processing information.

With QCDS, you can flexibly print one run of MICR checks, then produce duplex documents in all black ink, and then run yet another application with black and white on the front and highlight color on the back. With Océ high performance printers, and fast, easy QCDS technology, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.

Océ offers the industry?s widest array of MICR and highlight color printing solutions. From cut sheet to continuous forms technoogy, Océ can provide a solution that?s right for your needs, including specialty applications that combine highlight color and MICR on a single page or call for two-over-two highlight color. And, with the Océ Adaptable Imaging Architecture (AIA) and enhanced QCDS functionality, you are assured that your MICR and highlight color solution can grow with you as your requirements change.

Features
Support for monochrome, highlight color and MICR printing in a single system.
With QCDS technology, one cut sheet or continuous forms printer can be configured to do the job of many printers by simply swapping out the QCDS.
Support for Océ CustomTone toner
The quick change developer station supports the use of Océ CustomTone toner, with nine standard colors available. Optional color matching enables you to create documents using specific color matching for logos and other highlight (spot) color images to meet branding, corporate standards, or other design requirements. Matching custom colors can be used in both continuous forms and cut sheet printing systems.
One QCDS can be used in multiple printers
With Océ QCDS technology, you can use a single exchangeable developer station in multiple printers. Simply remove the station from one printer and use it with another, sharing developer stations among printers to eliminate the need to purchase dedicated developer stations for individual printers.
Fast and trouble-free toner switching
With QCDS, the operator can switch between black, MICR or CustomTone toner in less than five minutes. To change toner colors, the operator simply inserts the QCDS and can immediately begin running a new color.
Supports multiple cut sheet page sizes
Only the Océ QCDS supports cut sheet page sizes ranging from letter to ledger sizes.
Support for different grades of black toner in a single system
Ideal for commercial and graphic arts environments, the QCDS enables you to selectively match toner grades. When toner cost is an issue, you can use standard toner and when quality is a priority, you can choose to use premium toner.
Intelligent toner color tracking
All QCDS stations are coded to ensure that the toner matches the requirements of the document being printed. If the printer detects that a document requires a different toner than the one loaded, printing is halted and the operator is notified. With Océ VarioStream 7000 smart toner bottles, it's virtually impossible to load the wrong toner bottle, and your document integrity is maintained even when switching between colors.
MICR assurance
With Océ MICR products, you have our guarantee of problem-free check printing (contact your local sales representative for details).
