BLAZER PRO 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 Boards. The
Shirt Boards 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
4.
the Manual Mechanism Movement Utility (MMMU) screen.
Prepare the media printing on, to cover an area of approximately
17” x 44”(43 cm x 112 cm). The Blazer PRO can print out all 3
“Dot Sizes” in 1 media layout. The measurement we provided has
come from the layout of four 11 x 17 (tabloid) sheets laid out
horizontally meaning that the layout supports 17” wide by 4-up.
HINT: Utilize the Over-sized Shirt Boards (1 on each end) and the
Standard Shirt Board in the middle to accommodate a layout like shown.
The media should cover almost the entire span of the 3 Shirt Boards.
3 1/4” from the front board (furthest from printer assy.) and 3/4” from the rear board (closest to
printer assy.) can be bare. These measurements will reduce trial and error, however, once you have
completed an alignment procedure, you can ne tune these measurements to your liking.
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.
Bud each sheet together leaving no gaps.
On the UI, browse to the MMMU screen. Under the heading
5. Position, press the Index Button. With
the printer in the Index Position, the Shirt Board(s) is now directly beneath the Printer Assembly.
