Placement of the Blazer Express
When determining where to set up your printer, keep in mind the T-Jet Blazer Express requires an area of
at least 3.5 ft x 5.25 ft (1 m x 1.6 m) for the printer and workspace around it. Additional space is required
for drying, pretreating garments, garment staging, etc.
The Blazer Express’ nal destination MUST
BE A STURDY TABLE OR OTHER
PLATFORM. For operator comfort, we
recommend the height of the platform be at least
30”. This table must be able to support the full
weight of your printer (200 lb. / 91 kg) as well
as all accessories, such as a Shirt Board, inks
and garments. The table MUST also be able to
incorporate the entire “footprint” of the machine
across its surface. NO PART of the T-Jet Blazer
EXPRESS should overhang an edge.
The table or platform must also provide a stable base which will not transmit vibrations from surrounding
equipment and which will not be subject to vibrations from movement of the printer during image output.
Failure to minimize these vibrations will seriously affect nal print quality.
A simple and effective solution would be to use the crate in which the Blazer Express was shipped to you.
Perhaps even drape a table cloth or other material over it to help catch spills. If you don’t wish to use the
shipping crate, McMaster-Carr Inc. specializes in heavy-duty stands. www.mcmaster.com.
Leveling the Base of the Printer
Your new printer will operate at its best if it sits in a level position.
Set a box level on the top of the print bed. If the machine is not level,
determine which side of the printer you will need to adjust. If the
printer is level, make sure that all of the feet are sitting rmly on the
table.
To adjust the feet at the base of the printer, using a wrench, loosen
the lock nut (closest to the top). Next, loosen or tighten the nut below
(connected to the foot).
Repeat process as necessary until the Blazer EXPRESS sits level and
sturdy on the table surface.
Tighten the lock nuts on all of the base feet.
