Cleaning Pen
Use the cleaning pen that ships with the Colorscript 310/330 printer to clean the
printer’s thermal print head if you notice a degradation in print quality. Because of
fire safety concerns, the cleaning pen ships without solvent. Fill the cleaning pen
with 100% isopropyl alcohol before using the pen.

Color Calibration
Agfa™ FotoTune™ software helps you calibrate your printer color with known
image setters so that the color output from your Colorscript 310/330 printer
matches the color of your final production output.
Dye Ribbon
The ink or dye used in the Colorscript 310/330 printer is dispensed from a ribbon
that rides in a plastic ribbon cassette inside the printer.

The Colorscript 310/330 printer prints by evaporating colored dye from a mylar
ribbon and transferring it onto special paper stock
called dye sublimation paper.
Ethernet
A common networking protocol used in both Macintosh and IBM-compatible PC
networks. The hardware required for Ethernet networking may be built into your
computer, or it may be on an add-on card. Ethernet connectivity is an option on the
Colorscript 310/330 printer.
Hard Disk
A hard disk (also known as a disk drive or a hard drive) is a magnetic recording
device used to store data. The Colorscript 310/330 printer has an internal hard disk
that is used for virtual memory and to store fonts used by the Colorscript 310/330
printer. You can add external hard disks to the Colorscript 310/330 printer to
increase the printer’s font storage capacity.
Host Computer
A host computer is a computer that acts as an intermediary between a device like
the Colorscript 310/330 printer and other computers on a network. You can connect
your Colorscript 310/330 printer directly to a host computer and access the printer
from other workstations on the host computer’s network.
