S Class 3 User’s Manual
Setup 1-10
The TC models are equipped with the dual (performance) head. At first glance, the dual head looks a
lot like the standard tangential head for the T models. However, the performance head has two distinct
features.
1. The standard OPOS sensor on this head is a camera for faster registration of the marks.
2. There is also the possibility to mount two tools simultaneously, so jobs that require multiple tools
do not have to be paused for a tool change. Additionally, a creasing tool can be mounted as a
second tool.
The difference between a standard tangential head and a performance head becomes clear when a
print and cut job is started. The standard tangential head will lower an OPOS sensor onto the media
to read the registration marks. In contrast, the performance head will activate a light that will be
clearly visible to ensure the built in camera recognizes the registration marks.

The performance head has two tool shafts allowing for the installation of two tools simultaneously.
The rear tool shaft () is clearly visible and identical to the standard tangential head.
The front tool shaft () only shows the hole; the tool shaft itself is completely enclosed by the cover
of the performance head.
