Setting up the IP Addresses

*For any inquiries regarding setting the IP address please contact your support team

In order to connect to the ICOLOR 700, you need two predetermined static IP Addresses and two network cables, one for the printer and one for the feeder.

STEP 1 of 2: Setting the IP Address on the Printer

1. Select Menu>Using DOWN arrow, scroll to Admin Setup> Select Enter

2. At the “Enter Password” prompt, enter the 6 digit Admin password by using the UP arrow, then Enter. The default password is: aaaaaa(6 x a). Select Enter.

3. Select Network Setup

4. Hit the DOWN key until you can select IPv4 Address Set then Enter. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to set the value you need. Press Enter to move across the address. Press Back to Network Setup.

5. Hit the DOWN arrow key until you can select Subnet Mask. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to set the value

you need. Press Enter to move across the address. Press Back to Network Setup. (The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If that needs to be changed, follow the same procedure as for the IP Address.)

6. Press Back until you have exited the menu

7. Write this IP address down as you will need to input it into the software

STEP 2 of 2: Setting the IP Address on the Feeder

The Network Settings menu items allow configuration of the IP Address, the Subnet Mas k and the Default

Gateway.

1. Press Online to turn the feeder Offline.

2. Press the Menu button three times until M3: Network Settings is shown

3. Press the UP arrow key to I1: IP Address

4. Hold down the Menu key until the * disappears (about 1 full second). Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to

set the required values.

5. When the address is set, hold down the Menu key again for about 1 full second, until the * reappears. The IP address is now set/saved.

6. Press the UP arrow key again to set the subnet mask. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If that needs to be changed, follow the same procedure as for the IP Address.

7. Select the UP arrow key again to get to I3: Gateway. Use the same procedure to set the Gateway as used to set the IP Address.

8. Write this IP address down as you will need to input it into the software.

STEP 1

EDGE2Print User Interface

The following shows the interface of the EDGE2Print software.

Measuring Your Media

Gutter: Measures the distance between labels

by using the horizontal gap

Alley: Measures the distance between labels

by using the vertical gap

Measure Width of Paper, Horizontal and Vertical Gaps between labels (if applicable), and input these values into EDGE2Print. Input the values into Page Information in the EDGE2Print Software.

STEP 1 of 4 STEP 2 of 4

Measure the total width of paper. Input the value into Media Width.

Measure the distance of horizontal gap. Input the value into Gutter.

STEP 3 of 4 STEP 4 of 4

Measure the distance of vertical gap. Put the value into Alley.

You also should measure the width and height of the label. Save the values for later.

Measuring Tip

way! Measure as least one meter of the media, and measure the height of one label. Then calculate the distance of the gap. The longer you measure the media, the more precise value you will get.

Ex. For the left picture, we measure 9 label lengths plus 9 gutter lengths; the total length is 1171.58 mm (46.125

In order to get more precise value of Gutter, there is a better

inches). Then measure one label length, which is 127mm (5 inches). Therefore, the gutter value should be (1171.58/9)-127= 3.177 mm

core to create some initial tension at the beginning of the roll. Once the media is winding, release the Dancer Arm gently downwards onto the paper. The roll will continue to wind.

NOTE: Winding speed is determined by the position of the Dancer Arm. Lowering the arm will speed up the winding and lifting upwards will slow it down.

NOTE: If the roll seems to be winding too loosely, place your hand on the top of the roll while it’s winding. This will increase the tension momentarily. Be careful when doing this as too much tension will cause the roll to wind unevenly

5. Software Features & How To’s

How To Print a Full Bleed Die Cut Label

The following is a detailed guide to create an oversized label image on top of a die cut label. The term over bleed means that there is a small portion outside of the actual label known as the “overprint area”. Excess toner of the label is printed on to this area so that the actual dimensions of the label are met with clear, clean cut edges. The cutting is done after we print.

STEP 1 of 3

Measure the label length, label width, gutter and alley.

STEP 2 of 3

Input the number into proper place. For example, the label width(X) is 50.5mm, label height(Y) is 127mm, gutter is

3.175mm, alley is 3.175mm.

STEP 3 of 3

If you want to print 1mm bleed outside of the label size on both direction, just minus gutter and alley by 2mm, and add 2mm to width and height. So width becomes 52.5mm, height becomes 129mm, gutter becomes 1.175mm and alley becomes 1.175mm.
