K
Keypad – Panel on the right side of the Machine where
the user controls simple functions. Transfer Sheet mo-
tion is accessible from here during Pause mode. Also
called the Control Panel.
M
Machine – In the context of this manual, a Machine is a
device that uses image data to produce output, usually
as a Motif of Crystal Elements on an adhesive Transfer
Sheet.
Mil – Thousandths of an inch or milli-inches. For ex-
ample; 75 mils is the same as .075 inches. 1 mil is equal
to .025-mm.
Motif - A design with a repeating pattern of discrete
elements. On the CrystalPress, a Motif is a pattern of
Crystal Elements arranged on a collection of Vectors.
O
Origin – Point marking the zero (0) coordinate on the
X- and Y-Axes. Used as a starting reference by the Ma-
chine. On an Ioline CrystalPress, the origin is set with
the Reset key on the Keypad.
P
Pause Mode – Status light on the Keypad is red. Ma-
chine is paused and offline (e.g. not ready to print).
Pinch Wheel – Roller wheels that push the Transfer
Sheet against the Drive Shaft when lowered.
Pinch Wheel Lever – Lever connected to the Pinch
Wheels that raises and lowers them.
Platen – Curved surface that houses the Drive Shaft and
supports the Transfer Sheet during printing.
Print Mode – Status light on the Keypad is green. Ma-
chine is online and ready to print.
R
Resolution – The smallest distance that a Machine can
move the Transfer Sheet or Carriage. Machine resolution
affects the accuracy of design reproduction as a Motif.
Rhinestone - See Crystal.
S
Serial Communications – Method of sending informa-
tion from a computer to a Machine by sending 1 bit at a
time through a cable. The serial communications port
on a PC is a male (9- or 25-pin) connector. RS-232 is the
most common peripheral serial protocol used on a PC.
Sorter Bowl - A mechanism that turns a Sorter Wheel to
align Crystal Elements in manner that allows a C-Stick
tool to retrieve them and place them on a Transfer Sheet.
Sorter Wheel - Integral component of the Sorter Bowl
that is designed to orient flat-backed Crystals with
the flat side facing up. Every size of Crystal requires a
Sorter Wheel with specific alignment pit diameters.
Stone - See Crystal.
T
Throughput – The speed at which a Machine completes
a job. Represents the ability to process information and
produce an image.
Transfer Sheet - A stiff flat rectangular substrate coat-
ed with adhesive that is compatible with a Heat Press.
Traverse – Structure that supports and guides the Car-
riage and holds the Pinch Wheel assemblies.
U
USB – Universal Serial Bus. High speed method for
transferring information from a PC to a peripheral.
V
Vector – A line segment between two Coordinates.
W
White Pounce Strip - Cushion tape positioned under
the area where the C-Stick places Crystals.
X
X-Axis – Theoretical horizontal line providing a length
reference point for the Machine. Associated with Trans-
fer Sheet movement over the CrystalPress Platen.
Y
Y–Axis – Theoretical vertical line providing a width
reference point for the Machine. Associated with Car-
riage movement across the CrystalPress Traverse.
