Narrative:

Failure to get ATC clearance through ACARS/pre departure clearance. New captain IOE. IOE captain didn't brief thorough departure briefing, thereby missing the transponder code. Den has a standard departure procedure (den 1). Discovered when den tower asked for transponder on, on climb out. I got an immediate pre departure clearance from ACARS and continued normally. Had we been given an unusual clearance we never would have known about it. Suggest that we give our transponder code to ramp control on taxi out to prevent this happening again.
