- Page 5 Installing iColor® 300 printer on a PC These instructions are for Windows 7 via USB cable, others are similar. You must have Administrator privileges on the computer. 1. Unpack the printer according to the Set‐up Guide. Do not turn it on or connect it to the computer until the install program asks you to do so. 2. Put the printer DVD into the drive and setup should automatically run. 3. Choose your language and select printer model (target device) C331. 4. After accepting the software agreement and going past the environmental advice pages you can select software to install. We recommend the PostScript or PS driver. Click the install button (at red arrow). Also, near the bottom of this are the online manuals for later reference. UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...

- Page 7 Setup of multiple printers on one computer 1. There are two things we recommend when installing multiple printers on one computer; a. Rename the printers to easily choose the correct one for your work. It is best to do this as they are installed, how to do this is included below. b. Mark the USB ports and cables with these names to avoid problems if you move the computer/printers. It is best if each printer is always connected to its own USB port on the computer. UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...
- Page 8 5. Then continue with the install process above for the remaining printers, renaming them as you go along. UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...
- Page 9 iColor® 300 printer settings for iColor® Premium Transfer Media These instructions are shown using the PostScript or PS driver. The choices are the same for the PCL driver but the dialog boxes are different. These can be set as Printer Preferences from Devices and Printers or as Document Properties when printing. Setting them as Printer Preferences means they will be the same the next time you use the printer. 1. Under the Paper/Quality tab, set the paper source to the Multi‐purpose Tray. UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...
- Page 10 2. Click Advanced button. Paper type should be ‘Medium Light’ and the page size should be ‘A4’. If you are printing a very densely covered page, it is suggested you choose “heavy” for the paper type to avoid a paper jam at the fuser. If you do get a paper jam, shut off the printer, remove the fuser and clear the jam, then print some test pages on regular paper to clear the excess toner out of the fuser. Then reprint with “heavy” paper settings. 3. The Job Options tab is normally left at defaults. We suggest the print quality be set to “Fine”. Click the Advanced button and select the option for Mirror Print. This will ensure the image looks correct when transferred to a garment. Note: The PCL Driver does not include this option.

- Page 11 5. Please do not alter any of the factory settings on the machine itself. Doing so can produce undesired results UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...
- Page 12 C: 0% M: 100% Y: 100% K: 0% Pantone: 186C This is a ‘brick‐red’ type color. Text and graphics created in this color will give the best white results when printed. These printers will also print black. Using white with colors to assure transfer of halftones Images that contain halftones or gradients can cause problems with self‐weeding transfer media. This is because the background is assumed to be white and nothing is printed there. It is usually easiest to use an image editing program to create a copy of the image in the ‘brick red’ color above. Select the entire image and change the color, saving as a separate file. Print the standard (300CB) or fluorescent (300FC) colors onto a transfer sheet first. Then load this sheet into the white printer using the same leading edge as before and print the brick red image over the previously printed color image. From there follow the usual process for the iColor® premium transfer media. UniNet 3232 W. El Segundo Blvd., Hawthorne, California 90250 | sales@icolorprint.com www.icolorprint.com...

- Page 14 There are many variables that could produce different results. Specific steps may need to be altered based on: Type and brand of Heat Press: The temperature and duration varies slightly based on the heat press being used. All instructions are based on using a Hotronix Fusion press. Clam shell and swing away presses may also yield different results. Type of image: Photos or full color graphics may require a longer press time than vector images or text Type of garment: Cotton, Polyester, and Spandex material all respond differently to heat. All instructions are based on cotton garments Toner Coverage: Halftones in image may cause undesired results. Toner coverage should not be less than 50%, otherwise there will be issues with transferring the adhesive to the transfer sheet. Halftones can be corrected by printing white on top of color (either running the sheet through the printer a second pass, or using the iColor® Transfer RIP Software to apply a white layer in one pass). This will help with toner coverage and proper adherence to the garment.
