Install the Sort Wheel(s)

Install the sort wheels in the

Sorter Bowls

if they do not come pre-

installed. This process is outlined in the

CrystalPress

Quick Start Guide

and also in the

Operation

chapter

Some machine configurations

require more than one sort wheel.

Assemble and Install the C-Stick Tool

Follow the directions in the

CrystalPress

Quick Start Guide

and or in

the

Operation

chapter to assemble and install the

C-Stick

tool in the

Carriage

Insert a Transfer Sheet

Follow the directions in the

CrystalPress

Quick Start Guide

and or

in the

Operation

chapter to insert a

Transfer Sheet

between the

Pinch

Wheel

s and the

Drive Shaft

. Make sure to lower the

Pinch Wheel Lever

to lock the sheet in place before proceeding.

Connect the Power Cord

Find the power switch on the bottom of the back of the right

End

Cover

. Make sure the switch is in the OFF ‘O’ position. Connect the

power cord to the machine and then to a power outlet.

Connect the Machine to the Computer

With machine power off, connect the

CrystalPress

to your computer

with the provided USB cable. Before powering on the machine, make

sure the software is installed so that the correct drivers are available.

See the

Operation

chapter if a serial port connection is required.

Power On

With the computer already powered on, turn the

CrystalPress

power

switch to ON ‘

’. The

Carriage

will initialize itself by moving right un-

til it touches the right end plate then moving left until it touches the

left end plate. It will travel back to the right end plate and stop, then

the sort wheels will turn then stop when initialization is complete.

The

CrystalPress

machine is ready to use as soon as the green

Status

light on the

Keypad

is visible.

Start CrystalStudio

With the

Status

light showing green, start the

CrystalStudio

soft-

ware. It will automatically connect to the

CrystalPress

if the setup

process was successful.

Ioline recommends using

a surge protector power

strip for both the machine

and the computer.

Caution

Keep hands and loose

clothing away from all

moving parts of the

machine.

Caution

The

Figure 5.

C-Stick

Continue to the

Operation

chapter for details on using the

CrystalPress

and making a motif.

The

CrystalPress

will al-

ways perform the initialization

sequence at power ON. The ini

tialization sequence will not start

unless the

Wiper Arm Clamps

are

completely locked closed.
