WARNING:

SOME EARLIER MODELS MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH THE HEIGHT

SENSOR. IF YOUR MODEL DOES NOT, REFER TO THE FOLLOWING SECTION

- SETTING THE OVERALL HEIGHT FOR THE BLAZER PRO MODEL - WHICH

ALSO DOES NOT HAVE A HEIGHT SENSOR EQUIPPED.

6. Set the Shirt Board Height

For best results, you will want to set the distance as close to the sensor level as possible.

Use the Height Adjustment knob to set the clearance to the desired height for printing. NOTE: you

will need to use the exact distance in a later section of this

chapter called Performing a Print Head Alignment. If the

Platen is set too high, the sensor will trigger. Lower slightly

until the sensor shuts off. When the sensor shuts off, you are

set to the ideal height which will give you the highest quality

prints. This will only work accurately if you successfully

completed the previous section, Leveling the Shirt Board.

Turning the knob clockwise will lower the Shirt Board,

giving more clearance and turning it counter-clockwise will

raise the Shirt Board, giving less clearance. NOTE: If the sensor is tripped too many times, the

printer will error out and display one of the following error messages on the LCD screen:

“TOP COVER OPEN”

SRVC REQD 00001001E

In the case of either of these error messages, you will be forced to perform a complete shutdown. To

learn more about error codes and messages, refer to Chapter 15 - Troubleshooting.

IMPORTANT POINT

The Height Sensor is a “Last Line of Defense” to prevent the Print Head from

striking a garment, Platen or any other object that could cause severe damage to the

Print Head. Practice knowing where your Platen (Shirt Board) is in relation to the

Print Head height. Do not rely solely on the sensor to warn you of potential collisions.

Print Heads are not covered under warranty so we strongly encourage you to monitor

and maintain a safe clearance between the Print Head and any garment or other

printable item.

7. Return to Home Position

After the height of the Platen has been set, return to the UI and

browse to the MMMU screen. Under the Position heading,

press Home. You will hear an audible tone and the Printer

Assembly will begin to move. When it stops, it will be

in the Home position.
