Setting up your Screen Print printer
Step 1: Set up your printer and load the film
Set up your printer using the directions in the printer’s documentation.
Note: Wear gloves while handling the Screen Positive film to avoid getting smudges or
fingerprints on the film.
Loading the Screen Positive film (SureColor T3270)
Load the film roll using the directions for roll paper installation in the online User
Guide.
Loading the Screen Positive film (SureColor P800)
Attach the roll paper unit and load the film roll onto the roll spindle using the
directions in the online User’s Guide. Then follow the steps below to load the film into
the printer.
1. Open the front cover of the printer and extend the first section of the output tray.
2. Open the rear support, but do not pull out the extension.
3. On the touch screen, navigate to Setup > System Administration > Printer
Setting and change the Paper Size Check setting to Off.
4. Load the film roll in the roll paper unit with the grey flange on the left-hand side.
5. Feed the film into the printer until it stops, then hold the film in place. Press
Load on the touch screen to pull the film into the printer.
6. Check the touch screen and make sure the Paper Size is correct and that the
Paper Type is set to Premium Luster, then click OK.

7. Open the top cover and look inside. You see the edge of the film on the back side
of the opening. Gently push the film roll forward so that the leading edge of the
film contacts the front feed rollers. Do not bend or bow the film; apply just
enough pressure to move the film forward.
Step 2: Install the printer software and driver
Install the printer driver and software using the instructions that came with your
printer. Make sure you install the Software Updater utility and run it to download the
latest driver and firmware for your printer.
Step 3: Install the RIP software
Visit the following URL to download the AccuRIP Black Pearl SE RIP software:

Set up an account using the SE verification code on the AccuRIP welcome card and
the serial number on the back of your printer, then download and install the software.
