Connecting Your Printer to a Computer
You may only connect the T-Jet Blazer Pro to a computer
with an available USB 2.0 input. For best results, use the
special gold tipped USB cable supplied with the machine.
Avoid using a cable that is over 6ft in length and do not use
a switch box or USB Hub. Failure to follow these guidelines
can cause communication problems between the printer and
your computer.
Do not overload your USB ports. Reserve one for the
printer, one for the dongle (FastARTIST/FastRIP) and one
for your mouse (if necessary).
Your computer must use a Windows Operating System, such as Windows XP or Vista (Windows ME
is not supported). For best results you should use a computer with at least 2GB of RAM. RAM is
inexpensive and if you can put more in your computer, it will prevent problems when printing large les.
The Universal Serial Bus – USB – method of communication is standard on
all newer computers, but a little known fact is that there is only a certain
amount of power supplied to the entire “bus.” If you have several items
(other than a mouse and the FastARTIST Dongle) plugged into different
USB ports on your computer, this may cause communication issues with the
printer.
We recommend using a dedicated computer to control your T-Jet Blazer Pro. Avoid
using extra USB ports for items such as a webcam, joystick, other printers etc.
IMPORTANT POINT
Failure to follow the recommended environmental, power, maintenance and
operating conditions can void your warranty. The T-Jet Blazer Pro does NOT like
to be in hot and dry areas with excess dust nor being plugged into outlets with
several other items. Please read and understand the operating conditions and
maintenance requirements for your investment.
