RECEIVING & INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Remember to save all packing materials - including box, liner and
board. You may need these for shipping your machine or if a repair
is necessary in the future.
INSPECTION
Inspect your machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the
delivery company immediately, should you find damage.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove plywood shipping base bolts (see Aand B) and screw
on feet provided.
CAUTION: Handle must be tied to base before moving or shipping.
2. Plug the machine into the correct grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, use 12 or 14 ga.-3
conductor. Maximum length, 25’ (7.62 m).
3. Supply a clean (void of oils) and dry (void of water) air source of
100-125 P.S.I. (6.8-8.5 bar) to the 1/4” NPT air inlet located on
the left side panel (as viewed from the front) of the machine.
Requires 1-1/2 to 2 CFM. It is strongly recommended that an
external air filter and water trap be installed at the machine’s air
inlet connection. Damage to the machine’s internal air operated
components can occur that will not be covered under warranty
if it is determined that water, oil or other contaminants have
damaged the component. Combination air filter/water traps are
available at any major hardware store or may be purchased
directly from HIX (part #71145). *C-800/600 includes a filter.

OPERATION
PRESSURE CONTROL
1. The air pressure control knob must be pulled out to allow for
pressure adjustments then pushed in once final adjustments have
been made. Set the air pressure by turning the regulator control knob
and monitoring the air pressure gauge.
2. Set the air pressure to 40 P.S.I. (pounds per square inch). Turn the
control knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise
to reduce it. Refer to your transfers manufactures guide for pressure
recommendations. Your machine is protected by a pressure release
valve which is preset at the factory.
DIGITAL TEMPERATURE & TIME INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn on the machine by pushing the on/off switch.
2. To change or set the temperature, press the menu button on the
digital control. The light next to “TEMP” will light. Press the up s, or
down t, button to your desired setting.
3. To change or set the time, press the menu button on the digital
control. The light next to “TIME” will light. Press the up s, or down t,
button to your desired setting.
4. When you have your desired settings press the menu button a
third time to lock in your settings otherwise the previous settings
will still be used.
5. Wait for the machine to reach your preset temperature by monitoring
the display temperature until it matches the set temperature.
ANALOG TEMPERATURE & TIME INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn heat control knob to “8.” This should raise the temperature to
approximately 350°F (177°C). While machine is heating (approx. 15
minutes), the heat light will remain on, until it has reached set
temperature. Adjust heat control knob to the temperature you desire.
The heat light will cycle on and off in order to maintain the desired
temperature.
2. Set timer by turning the dial to the desired time setting.
IMPORTANT: The mode should always be set to “E”on the timer
for proper operation.

OPERATION
TRANSFER APPLICATION
The N-840/640 is ideal for T-shirt shops and retail applications.
HIX recommends the C-800/600 for heavy service use such
as commercial, continuous applications, or for high volume
applications. The C-800/600 120 volt models have a slower
heat recovery (i.e. 18-20 seconds @ 375°F). The C-800/600
in 220 volt is recommended for quicker cycle times (i.e. 10
seconds @ 375°F).
1. Set the temperature, time, & pressure to the desired settings
as instructed on page 3. Again, always consult your specific
transfer recommendations. Typical settings are; Cold Peel:
350°F (177°C), 15 seconds and Hot Split: 375°F (190°C),
10-12 seconds.
2. Align garment on the lower platen and smooth out the
wrinkles.
NOTE: Wrinkles may be removed by bringing heated platen in contact with
the garment before the transfer is positioned. A platen release switch
(N-840/640 only) is provided on the front of the lower right frame tube of
the machine to interrupt the normal cycle and release the upper heat platen.
3. Position the transfer, then pull the operating handle down
until the lower platen engages (approx. 1 second) then
release. At the end of the time selected, the machine will
open automatically.
4. Continuously peel the paper off the transfer away from your
garment. NOTE: Do not fold the transfer back on itself.
Successful transfer work depends on the correct balance
of time, temperature and pressure. The type and thickness
of the material and the kind of transfer being used will
determine what settings are necessary.
If a hot peel/split transfer is being applied, immediately peel
the paper after the machine has opened. DO NOT allow
the transfer to cool. If a cold peel transfer is being applied,
rub the transfer with an eraser or cloth and allow to cool for
5-10 seconds before removing the release paper.
NOTE: Specific application instructions are enclosed with transfers.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Your press requires lubrication every 6 months. Using 3-in-1 oil
(available from your hardware store), add one to two drops of oil at
the joints of all moving parts.
MECHANICAL
Every 12 months (or 100,000 cycles - whichever comes first), verify
the tightness of the two gas spring retaining bolts (N-840/640D
models only - Exploded view part #80 on page 12). Use a 3/16”
attachment on a torque wrench and tighten bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (120
in lbs.). Loose bolts could allow the gas spring to come loose and
the upper heat head to fall, causing possible injury to the operator.

1. Set the temperature, time, & pressure to the desired settings
as instructed on page 3. Again, always consult your specific
transfer recommendations. Typical settings are; Cold Peel:
350°F (177°C), 15 seconds and Hot Split: 375°F (190°C),
10-12 seconds.
2. Align garment on the lower platen and smooth out the
wrinkles.
NOTE: Wrinkles may be removed by bringing heated platen in contact with
the garment before the transfer is positioned. A platen release switch
(N-840/640 only) is provided on the front of the lower right frame tube of
the machine to interrupt the normal cycle and release the upper heat platen.
3. Position the transfer, then pull the operating handle down
until the lower platen engages (approx. 1 second) then
release. At the end of the time selected, the machine will
open automatically.
4. Continuously peel the paper off the transfer away from your
garment. NOTE: Do not fold the transfer back on itself.
Successful transfer work depends on the correct balance
of time, temperature and pressure. The type and thickness
of the material and the kind of transfer being used will
determine what settings are necessary.
If a hot peel/split transfer is being applied, immediately peel
the paper after the machine has opened. DO NOT allow
the transfer to cool. If a cold peel transfer is being applied,
rub the transfer with an eraser or cloth and allow to cool for
5-10 seconds before removing the release paper.
NOTE: Specific application instructions are enclosed with transfers.

OPERATION
PRESSURE CONTROL
1. The air pressure control knob must be pulled out to allow for
pressure adjustments then pushed in once final adjustments have
been made. Set the air pressure by turning the regulator control knob
and monitoring the air pressure gauge.
2. Set the air pressure to 40 P.S.I. (pounds per square inch). Turn the
control knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise
to reduce it. Refer to your transfers manufactures guide for pressure
recommendations. Your machine is protected by a pressure release
valve which is preset at the factory.
DIGITAL TEMPERATURE & TIME INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn on the machine by pushing the on/off switch.
2. To change or set the temperature, press the menu button on the
digital control. The light next to “TEMP” will light. Press the up s, or
down t, button to your desired setting.
3. To change or set the time, press the menu button on the digital
control. The light next to “TIME” will light. Press the up s, or down t,
button to your desired setting.
4. When you have your desired settings press the menu button a
third time to lock in your settings otherwise the previous settings
will still be used.
5. Wait for the machine to reach your preset temperature by monitoring
the display temperature until it matches the set temperature.
ANALOG TEMPERATURE & TIME INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn heat control knob to “8.” This should raise the temperature to
approximately 350°F (177°C). While machine is heating (approx. 15
minutes), the heat light will remain on, until it has reached set
temperature. Adjust heat control knob to the temperature you desire.
The heat light will cycle on and off in order to maintain the desired

RECEIVING & INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Remember to save all packing materials - including box, liner and
board. You may need these for shipping your machine or if a repair
is necessary in the future.
INSPECTION
Inspect your machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the
delivery company immediately, should you find damage.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove plywood shipping base bolts (see Aand B) and screw
on feet provided.
CAUTION: Handle must be tied to base before moving or shipping.
2. Plug the machine into the correct grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, use 12 or 14 ga.-3
conductor. Maximum length, 25’ (7.62 m).
3. Supply a clean (void of oils) and dry (void of water) air source of
100-125 P.S.I. (6.8-8.5 bar) to the 1/4” NPT air inlet located on
the left side panel (as viewed from the front) of the machine.
Requires 1-1/2 to 2 CFM. It is strongly recommended that an
