Check Spit Tray Regularly/
Clean Capping Station and Print Head Daily
The Spit Tray/Flushing Box assembly collects ink very quickly. Check it regularly
and clean it throughout the day as necessary to prevent ink spills on printer
components and random ink drops on garments.
The Capping Station is the rectangular piece onto which the Print Head seats.
Ensure the outer rubber seal is free from dried ink and garment bers. Ink residue
around the edge of the Capping Station may keep the Print Head from sealing
properly. This will cause Print Head clogs. Be aware that White ink will build up
faster and thicker than regular colors. Use a foam swab, water, glass cleaner,
cleaning uid or Isopropyl Alcohol to keep this clean.
When cleaning the Capping Station, be careful NOT to move it
out of position or the Print Head will not seat properly. If you push
down on it too hard, it WILL move off of its mount. When cleaning
the Print Head, only clean the around the sides, DO NOT touch the
Nozzles.
Humidity and Environmental Control
Controlling the environment in which your Fast T-Jet Blazer “lives” is a must!
During the cold winter months, dry heat is often pumped into a room- This is not
a good thing for inkjet printers! They prefer humidity levels of 40% to 80%.
If your room is dry, place a humidier in the room and buy an
inexpensive hygrometer from Radio Shack, Target, Wal Mart
etc. to measure the humidity level. In the summer months, if the
humidity is too high, use a dehumidier. Try very hard NOT to
place this machine in a dusty, dirty or non-climate controlled
environment (like a Screen Printing shop or a garage). For best
results, place the printer in a dust free room with air-conditioning.
