1. Insert the 300 Software CD-ROM into the

CD-ROM drive.

drive (usually D:\). Select iosetup.exe then

Open and Run.

3. Follow the self-guided installation instruc-

tions to install the Ioline Control Center,

301 Software, Acrobat Reader, and all

manuals. Fig G.

4. A window may appear asking to install

Hardlock drivers. Answer ‘Yes’ to all ques-

tions.

5. Restart the computer if requested. All icons

Figure G: The 300 software installation screen.

Install an Adhesive Sheet

1. Ensure that the light on the 300 Keypad is

red. Press Start/Stop if it is not. Use the

Arrow keys on the Keypad to move the

Table all the way forward.

2. If the Tray is installed in the Table, loosen

the Thumb Nuts and remove it by lifting

up in the front and pulling forward. Place

the tray on a stable surface.

3. Choose an adhesive sheet and backing

material (if required) that will work with

the material planned for cutting. Table 1

is a guide for choosing the proper sheet

and backing types. There is more infor-

mation about choosing adhesive sheets

in the 300 System User Guide.

4. Peel the backing paper off of one side.

With the exposed side facing the Tray,

align the corners of the sheet with the “L”

shaped marks in the tray. Fig. J.

5. Smooth the adhesive sheet down until all

bubbles are removed. Leave the paper

cover on the top of the adhesive sheet

until ready to apply material for cutting.

Apply Cloth & Install the Tray

1. Remove the cover from the Adhesive Sheet

and carefully apply fabric to the Tray. Smooth

all bubbles out of the material. Fig. K.

2. Slide the Tray onto the Table with the Thumb

Nuts facing the front of the machine. Make

sure the rear lip of the Tray fits tightly under

the white strip in the rear of the Table. The

thumb nut posts should drop smoothly into

the slots on the front of the Table.

3. Press the Tray down into the Table and

tighten the Thumb Nuts.

4. Use the Arrow keys on the Keypad to posi-

tion the Carriage and Table so that the knife

is in lower right corner of the Table. This is

where cutting will start.

5. Press Set Origin on the Keypad. The light

on the Keypad will turn green.

Blade.

Figure K: Applying material to the Tray.

Choose a Blade

1. Find the included 322 blade in the accessory

kit. Table 2 shows blade usage information.

2. Unscrew the Foot (Figure N) from the Blade

Holder.

IMPORTANT: The Blades are very sharp and

the tip is fragile. Use caution when inserting

them into the Blade Holder.

3. Insert the Blade into the Blade Holder (Fig-

ure N). It will resist at first then slide freely

to a hard stop when properly inserted.

4. Gently turn the Foot onto the Blade Holder

until just before the tip of the blade protrudes

from the opening in the foot.

5. Follow the steps in the 300 System User

Guide to adjust blade exposure and force.

This step is very important!

6. The 300 is ready to cut!

TIP: Properly adjusted blade depth and force

will substantially increase the life of the

blade, adhesive sheet and reduce the

chance of damaging the tray.
