What brand of transfer are you using?

Most of them will have a bit of a hand to them.

Your time and temp depend solely on the brand of paper you're using. If the paper was meant for a hand iron, it's not a professional-quality paper, but you'd need to play with your time and temp until you get it right.

If it's a professional paper, it would have come with instructions on what time and temp. If not, try looking on the website you bought it from. They should be able to tell you.
