Chapter 8 - Initialization Utilities

Nozzle Check Utility

The next step in the setup process is performing Nozzle Check.

The Nozzle Check Utility is necessary to conrm that the ink is

owing and that the Print Head is performing properly.

The Nozzle Check Utility also works in conjunction with the

Head Cleaning Cycle showing that a cleaning was successful or if

another is needed.

You may use either paper or lm for this test, but we recommend a clear lm such the lm that we have

included with the T-Jet. This is a standard screen print positive lm and is available at most screen print

supply stores. Make sure that it is a lm that can be printed on. Paper can be used but will make it almost

impossible to view the white ink pattern. Another, more cost efcient method is to print on a plexi-glass

material which can be cleaned and reprinted on. You will have to adjust your Print Head Height settings if

using a thicker media than lm.

Setting Up for a Nozzle Check

1. Set the printer from Print Status to READY/SHEET status by pressing the LEFT ARROW button

twice on the LCD Control Panel.

The display will read “READY” with a “sheet of paper” icon. Only

when in READY/SHEET status can the Print Bed (Express) or Printer

Assembly (PRO) be moved freely.

2. Using the “RIGHT hand” button, shufe through the UI screens until you get to the

Mode Select screen. Ensure the virtual dial is set to Manual.

Press the “RIGHT hand” button on the UI again until you reach the

3. Manual Mechanism Movement

Utility (MMMU) screen.

4. Place your sheet of lm on the Over-sized Shirt Board (for the Blazer

PRO it will be the Board furthest from the printer assembly). The lm

we include has a printable surface and a non-printable surface. The

sticky side is the printable side and needs to be facing up. You can test

this by wetting your nger and touching the lm. Your nger will stick

to the printable side. When placing the lm, take care to align the lm

with the Shirt Board’s lower right hand corner (as you face the front of

the printer.) Overhang the lm 1 inch over the edge of the Shirt Board.

On the UI, under the heading section, press the Index button. This will move the Print Bed to the

proper position for printing a nozzle check.

6. Next, go back to the LCD and change the printer mode to

READY/ROLL mode by pressing the LEFT ARROW button twice. The

display will read “READY” with a “roll of paper” icon.
