Getting ready to print Before printing, there are a few things that you should do to setup the WinType 800C for printing. You will need to select the WinType 800C printer driver and make selections on media size, media type, orientation, etc. The Steps required for making these selections are outlined below. Steps: 1. In the Program Manager, open the Main group by double-click on its icon. 2. Double-click on the Control Panel icon in the Main group. 3.
7. Select either Portrait, Landscape or Mirror printing. If you select Portrait, your documents will be printed vertically. If you select Landscape, your documents will be printed horizontally. Mirror is used to reverse the image . 8. Click on the Options button. This will call up the Options menu where you can make further changes there. 9. Select the media type you want to use in the drop-down list box. Selections include: Coated Paper, Plain Paper and OHP Film. Default is Coated Paper.
Printing When you select the Print command from the File menu of your Windows application, printing will begin. Operation may vary somewhat, however, per software application program. If you have selected Fast Print to Port (see "High speed printing" on page 26) in the Options dialog box, a message like the one at the right will be displayed. This will provide you with the status of the document being currently printed.
There are other selections in the Options dialog box that can enhance the performance and color graphics quality of your printer. These selections - changing halftones, image quality, gamma correction, color balance and high speed printing - are described in the following sections. Changing halftones and image quality The Options dialog box, introduced earlier, contains three parameters for changing halftone and image quality. The following explains how to change them and what each setting means.
6. Click on the Options button. There is a box in the Options dialog box titled "Halftone" which is where you can select the halftone that meets your needs. The following lists the meanings of each type of halftone. Spiral This gives a sharp image and is best for computer graphics and presentations. Because the "cells" for the basic image are smaller, you can print much finer images. Mesh This also gives a sharp image and is good for computer graphics and presentations.
Changing color balance You can use the color balance scroll bars, also part of the Options dialog box, to change the balance of the colors you are going to use. Again, this printer driver is equipped with scroll bars for the three colors of red, green and blue. This is good for enhancing some of the colors you want to use in your presentation documents. For example, if you move the R: (red) scroll bar to the right, you can increase the reddishness of the overall image.
3. Double-click on the Printers icon. 4. Click on STAR WinType 800C on LPT1 in the Installed Printers list, if LPT1 is the port to which this printer is connected. 5. Click on the Setup button. 6. Click on the Options button. 7. Click on Fast Print to Port. Putting an X in the Fast Print to Port box will cause your print job to be sent directly to the printer without going through Windows Print Manager. This will increase printing speed.
Film Roll Paper Size Monochrome 3-color 4-color A4 or Letter Special A4 or Legal 1MB 1.2MB 3MB 3.6MB 4MB 5MB Print speed Another way you can change the printing speed is by changing the settings in the Options menu.

Auto: This is the default setting which prints documents at the standard speed of this printer. Medium: This is slightly slower than Auto. Low: This is the slowest speed available. It is useful when printing graphics with patterns or high intensity.
Intensity This will change the lightness and darkness of the printed image. Photo When you click on the Photo button, Gamma Correction will automatically change to the values of R = 0.8, G = 1.0 and B = 1.4 to give your photographs more true color printing. Color Balance will be set to R = 0, G = 5 and B = 0 If you click on this when using 4 color film ribbons, Black Representation will be set to Y+M+C+Black.
Printing on Special A4 and Legal size media This printer can also print on special A4 size media (210 x 356mm/8.27 in. x 14 in.) and Legal (8 1/2" x 14").

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.
4. Click on the Mirror checkbox in the Printers Setup dialog box. This will cause the printer to print a mirror image of your design. 5. Load the iron-on transfer sheet, with the printing side down, into the opening in the paper tray cover. Make sure that it is inserted completely into the printer. Caution: Do not manually load more than one sheet at a time. Wait until the first sheet has been completely printed before loading more sheets. 6. Print your image on the transfer sheet.
Steps for the finishing process 1. Place the finishing sheet over the image on the cloth, with the cut out corner in the top left. Make sure that the silicon side is down. The finishing sheet should completely cover the image. 2. Iron the finishing sheet at the same setting used to iron the transfer sheet.
