T-Jet Blazer Series User’s Manual
Version 5.0 Revised September, 2008
176
Exceeding the environmental specications can cause the printing of
substandard images due to misring of Print Nozzles and ink prematurely drying on the surface of the
Print Head. This misuse may void the warranty.
Exhaust Ventilation Requirements
Exhaust ventilation and air-conditioning of the Fast T-Jet Blazer Express printer is
REQUIRED for proper machine function. This machine does not produce odors and the ink is non-toxic,
however adequate ventilation is required for the use of Pretreatment. When curing shirts, chemicals
released from the shirt are non-toxic but may be eye irritants.
Room Conditions
Temperature: 68 to 85°F (20 to 29°C)
Relative Humidity: 40% to 60% (non-condensing)
Platform (Blazer Express only): strong enough to support equipment weighing up 200 lbs.
Flat and level (allowable variation: 1/8” in. 40-in. run (3 mm in 1000 mm run). Minimize
vibration from surrounding equipment.
Ambient light level: general ofce environment (700–1000 lux)
Type: white, indirect uorescent light
Room: at least 5 air changes per hour with a minimum of 20% fresh air coming in through air return is
recommended (for operator comfort).
Heat Load: 4000 watts
Air Quality: clean and dust free with no heavy air-ow blowing across the machine.
Room Access: 36 inch (92 cm) minimum doorway
Electrical Requirements
A dedicated circuit for your printer and PC computer is strongly recommended. This circuit should be
110V minimum to 240V maximum, 50/60 Hz, 15A load, single phase and ground with a 6.6KW GFCI
Circuit Breaker.
A separate dedicated circuit should be used for the heat curing machine, such as a heat transfer press or
small conveyor dryer. Consult the manufacturer of the equipment for circuit specications.
The AC power must be supplied with an independent GFCI circuit breaker with the circuit ground
isolated from other equipment. It is recommended the circuit include a breaker that can be “locked out”
for maintenance purposes. The ground circuit must be a computer grade isolated ground. The power
should be constant and not susceptible to voltage uctuations. Fluctuations in line voltage will adversely
affect the unit performance.
Supplying a voltage to the printer that is outside of this range will likely result in intermittent data and
print corruption. If line voltages are outside this range, U.S. Screen recommends the use of a buck/boost
transformer to bring the printer supply voltage within this range. No warranty, express or implied, will be
honored for equipment operated on voltages beyond the stated range.
For convenience during setup and normal maintenance, have electrical outlets at local voltage located
near the intended area of operation.
