Printing with iron-on transfer

This printer can print not only on coated paper for laser quality color output, but it also can output laser quality color images on iron-on transfer sheets. However, you should observe the Steps below when printing on iron-on transfer sheets.

Note: Use only Genuine Star Iron-on Transfer Sheets for this application.

The iron-on transfer is a great way to create original designs for T-shirts or other cloth items. When you are printing iron-on transfer sheets, always select OHP Film in the Media Type setting of the printer driver.

Steps for printing on the transfer sheets

1.Create an image with your software program.

2.Place the finishing sheet, with its

silicon side facing upwards into the paper tray base. The silicon side is the side facing you when the cut corner is in the upper right hand side.

Note: The finishing sheet is not for printing. It is used to prevent any printing or feeding trouble with the iron-on transfer sheet.

3. After inserting the finishing sheet, place the paper tray cover on top of the paper tray base in the direction of the arrows in the illustration at the right.
