Shirt Board Height Settings
BLAZER PRO
It is necessary during setup to check and adjust the Shirt Board to Head Clearance to the proper height for
output and to make sure that the Shirt Board is at a safe distance from the Print Head. It is also important
that each corner of each Shirt Board being used is level with the Print Head.
Leveling the Shirt Boards (PRO)
The rst step in the process is to level the Shirt Boards to the Print Head. You will want to repeat this
procedure when switching between different Shirt Board sizes.
1. Determine the distance you want.
Determine the distance you want between the Shirt Board (with
garment) and the Print Head. THE DISTANCE MUST BE NO
LESS THAN 3 MM AND NO MORE THAN 5 MM. To get the
sharpest prints use a distance closer to 3mm but NEVER less. For
this example, we’ll use a distance of 4 mm.
NOTE: you will refer to this setting when completing the Print
Head Alignment Utility later in this chapter. This will be your permanent height setting when
printing.
Set the Printer to Print Position
2. .
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To properly set the Print Head Height you must rst set the Print Head to it’s
printing height position. By default the Print Head sits higher than when it is printing
and may cause the user to inadvertently set it too low, causing a head crash.
There are two ways to verify that the printer is in the correct position for setting the Print Head Height.
1. The recommended method is performing a Regular
• Head Cleaning Cycle prior to setting the
Print Head Height. When a Head Cleaning Cycle is completed the printer will be in the correct
position to measure the distance and make any necessary adjustments if needed. Refer to the Head
Cleaning Utility section of this chapter.
• 2. The other method is to
visually check the gear that
controls the Print Head
height. This gear is on the
left end of the printer
opposite of the capping
station and can be viewed
by lifting the lid.
DEFAULT POSITION:
If the gear is open like above, DO NOT
attempt to set the Print Head Height. The
easiest way to set this to Printing Position
is by performing a Head Cleaning Cycle.
PRINTING POSITION:
If the gear is closed like above, it is in
the correct position to set the Print Head
Height. Continue on with the next step.
