RECEIVING & INSTALLATION
SHIPPING OR RETURNS
NOTE: Save all of your shipping/packing materials.
DO NOT RISK COSTLY SHIPPING DAMAGE!
SHIP ONLY IN ORIGINAL BOX.
1. Place in original crate.
2. Fasten machine to shipping base with bolts provided.
3. Make sure crate top is securely fastened to base
UNPACKING
Remember to save all packing materials - including box, liner and board.
You may need these for shipping your machine or if a repair is necessary
in the future.
INSPECTION
Inspect your machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the delivery
company immediately, should you nd damage.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: These machines are heavy, utilize team lifting and lift with your
legs when placing the machine.
1. Remove shipping straps and bolts.
2. Supply a clean (void of oils) and dry (void of water) air source of 70
P.S.I. (6.8-8.5 bar) to the 3/8” NPT air inlet located on the back of the
machine. Requires 4 CFM.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that an external air lter and water trap
be installed at the machine’s air inlet connection. Compressed air is
dirty. It has ‘stuff’, primarily moisture, residues from oil and smoke and
whatever else is in the air. Compressors or ‘shop air’ may have ltered
air and/or an “AIR DRYER” after the compressor. IF your air is not ltered
and dried, YOU MUST FILTER THE AIR and REMOVE THE WATER
AND ‘STUFF’ FROM THE AIR, before putting it in most air operated
machines, including our press. There are small valves and ports that can
become blocked from moisture and residue in compressed air, causing
your press to malfunction. An external air lter and water trap must be
installed at the machine’s air inlet connection, if your air is not ltered.
Damage to the machine’s internal air operated components can occur
that will not be covered under warranty. Combination air lter/water
traps are available at any major hardware store or may be purchased
directly from HIX (part #71145).

3. Set pressure Turn Knob below air gauge right to
increase pressure. Left to decrease pressure.
NOTE: air pressure will not decrease until machine
cycles. Set starting pressure to 40-50 PSI.
4. Push Emergency stop button.
5. Make sure auto/manual button is in the “out” manual position. (Press
and release to change button position)
6. 2. Plug the machine into the correct grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, use 12 or 14 ga.-3 conductor.
Maximum length, 25’ (7.762 m).
ATTENTION: Utiliser des ralonges d’au moins 12 à 14 ga - 3 phases;
longueur maximale de 7.7 mètres.
7. Now rotate Emergency stop button to the right (clockwise) to release.

INSTALLATION
8. Push Yellow power button. Time/Temp display will light.
9. Set your desired time and temp.
a. To change or set the temperature, press the menu button on the
digital control. The light next to “TEMP” will light. Press the up s,
or down t, button to your desired setting.
b. To change or set the time, press the menu button on the digital
control. The light next to “TIME” will light. Press the up s, or down
t, button to your desired setting.
c. When you have your desired settings press the menu button a
third time to lock in your settings otherwise the previous settings
will still be used.
d. Wait for the machine to reach your preset temperature by monitoring
the display temperature until it matches the set temperature.
e. Daily cycle is displayed by holding the up key while powering up.
It will continue to display counts (up to 9999) while the up key is
pressed. When the key is released it goes to regular mode.
10. Remove Reel Quick Knob and reel face ange (non motor side).
Note: Quick Knobs can be slid off after rotating approximately one turn.
12. Load full reel on supply side (non motor side)
13. Feed Label over top guide rod, under elbow rod and over the sensor.

SENSOR SETTING
1. Visually check and conrm label is in centered position.
(Note: If it is NOT repeat sensor setting Page 8)
2. Position Garment into desired position
3. Place nger in each optical control switch, heat head will come down
and then rise after set time, take up roll will automatically index to next

2. Reposition guides on guide rod to maintain front to rear centering of
label. Do not adjust left to right position at this time.
3. Depress manual/auto button to the “out” position or manual mode
4. Position sensor light on eye mark printed on label web.
5. Press and hold the Dynamic push button for >2 seconds.
6. Continue to hold the Dynamic push button. Pass the index mark under
the sensor (ashing light) at least twice.
7. Release the Dynamic push button.
8. Put machine in Auto Mode (button in ) and activate optical control switch,
the label will advance to next index mark and stop. Position label front
to rear if necessary (Step 2 of sensor setting) and right to left on lower
platen, using jog button.

SENSOR SETTING
9. Now adjust position of sensor head such that the light beam is just above
the Index mark (approx. 3mm) and tighten.
NOTE: When sensing an index mark on a reective (shiny) material, mount
the sensor at approximately 15° off perpendicular to the material’s
surface to minimize strong direct reections and allow the sensor
to discern the relatively small optical contrast offered by differences
in colors.
When sensing an index mark on a clear material, position a reective
surface directly behind the clear material to return light to the sensor.
Most clear materials are also shiny; it is important to include a 15°
skew angle when sensing clear materials.

TRANSFER APPLICATION
When you fail to make a successful transfer you can wonder, “Is it
the machine’s fault, or the transfer, wrong settings or what”?
FIRST, THE BASICS:
1. Be sure to set the heat transfer machine to the transfer manufacturer’s
recommended Temperature, Time and Pressure settings. If you don’t
have these specications, contact your transfer supplier for this infor-
mation and any other special application instructions as many of the
new “High Tech” transfers require signicantly different settings and/or
application techniques than those from years past.
2. When you start up your press for the rst time each day, preheat the
pad for a minute. If the press has sat for 3-5 minutes without use, be
sure to “preheat” the pad for 10-15 seconds before loading the shirt or
making the rst transfer.
3. Be sure the T-shirt fabric is void of any moisture which can reduce the
chance of a successful transfer.
4. With all of the above recommendations, try making a transfer.
5. If successful, great! You are on your way to making some serious
money with your transfer machine!
6. If you have an area that isn’t transferring completely or as you would
like it to, follow these steps to determine the problem.
• Try increasing the pressure on the machine by 10-20%
• Recheck your temperature required and the press readout. You may
want to increase the temperature 10 degrees.
• Try increasing the application time by 2-4 seconds
• If after trying these things there is still a “specic” area (say over in
one corner of the transfer) that isn’t coming out as you would like
it to, then try the same type transfer on a scrap shirt but rotate the
transfer 180 degrees (changing the failure location) If after doing
this the problem area is in the same physical location on the ma-
chine, then you probably have a problem with the pad or possibly a
warped platen if the machine has ever overheated severely. On the
other hand if the transfer failed in the same area on the transfer (af-
ter changing the location of where the problem had previously been
occurring), then you most likely have a problem with the transfer or
it’s application settings (Temperature, Time or Pressure) and you
should contact your transfer supplier to discuss the problem.
Following these basic guidelines can help you be more successful with
each and every transfer!
