BLAZER EXPRESS Setup

To continue to the following steps, you must have the Epson LFP Remote Panel installed and the

computer connected to the printer. The printer must be in “Ready/ROLL” mode and be in the Index

Position with the lm or other media (to print on) in place. If the printer is not in the correct mode, you

will receive a “Communication Failed” error. You will also need to determine the Print Head height that

you will use permanently while printing.

The rst step is to determine the distance you want the Print Head to be from the

1. Shirt Board. The

Shirt Board must have the media in place whether it be lm, paper or plexi-glass, before adjusting

this setting. NOTE: If using a thicker media, you will need to check the distance. A DISTANCE NO

LESS THAN 3 MM AND NO MORE THAN 5 MM IS REQUIRED. This step is important in the

process, because the distance between the Print Head and the “Media” used during the alignment

process will need to be the exact distance between the Print Head and the garment that you will later

print on. If this is not recorded and adjusted correctly, your alignment process will not be as accurate

as it will need to be for Bi-Directional Printing (High Speed).

2. Set the printer from Print to “Ready/Sheet” status by pressing the

LEFT ARROW button twice on the LCD Control Panel. The display

will read “Ready” and you will see a “sheet of paper” icon. Only when

in “Ready/Sheet” status can the Printer Assembly be moved freely.

3. Using the “RIGHT hand” button, shufe through the UI screens

until you get to the Mode Select screen. Conrm that the mode is set to Manual.

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

the Manual Mechanism Movement Utility (MMMU) screen.

5. Prepare the media printing on, to cover an area of 16” x 20”

(41 cm x 53 cm) The Blazer EXPRESS can only perform one “Dot

Size” at a time. A single Head Alignment procedure consists of 3

“Dot Sizes”. You will need to reload the media a total of three times

per alignment, unless completing the Optional Quick Alignment.

Align the media with the upper left hand corner of the Oversized

Shirt Board (the bottom right hand corner if facing the front of the

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

On the UI, browse to the MMMU screen. Under the heading Position, press the Index button. With

the Printer in the Index position, the Shirt Board(s) is now directly beneath the Printer Assembly.

7. 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.
