Additional Operation Hints
Printing More than Two Layers
The
CrystalPress
and
CrystalStudio
are able to print up to 100 layers
in a single design. The CrystalPress can place two stones during one
printing operation so a few extra steps are required to print more
than two layers.
1.
Make the first two layers for printing visible in the
CrystalStu-
dio
by checking the
Visible
box in the
Layer Manager
and print
them following directions stated above and in the
CrystalStudio
User Guide
.
2.
Once the print is complete, empty the crystals from the
Sorter
Bowls
and replace with crystals for the third and fourth layers.
3.
In
CrystalStudio
, hide the first two layers by un-checking the
Visible
box then make the third and fourth layers visible by
checking the
Visible
box.
4. Print the third and fourth layers. The
CrystalPress
will auto-
matically back-up to the front of the
Transfer Sheet
and place
crystals for the third and fourth layers among the crystals from
the first two layers.
5.
Repeat this process for each additional layer, printing no more
than two at a time.
Pause Printing
It is sometimes helpful to pause the printing process to inspect a
design. To do this:
1.
Press the
Print/Pause
key on the
Keypad
until the
Status
light turns
red.
2. The
Arrow
keys will work and allow movement of the motif for
inspection.
3.
When finished, press the
Print/Pause
key again. The
Transfer Sheet
will move back to where it was working then continue making the
motif.
Cancel a Print
If it is necessary to cancel a print job, the data in the machine must
get cleared from memory. To do this:
1.
Press the
Print/Pause
key on the
Keypad
until the
Status
light turns
red.
2.
Use the
Arrow
keys to position the
Transfer Sheet
where the next
file should start OR remove the
Transfer Sheet
by lifting the
Pinch
Wheels
with the lever.
3.
Press the
Reset
key to delete motif data from machine memory
and prepare to print the next motif.
4.
The machine will notify the
CrystalStudio
that the plot was
cancelled.
Printing more than two layers
depends on the transfer sheet
remaining undisturbed in the
machine. Do not move it with the
keypad keys or by hand!
