Chapter 2 - SETUP PART 1: Unpacking and Setup of Your Printer

T-Jet Blazer Series User’s Manual
IMPORTANT POINT
When using White ink, you must apply a
Pretreatment to the shirts before printing. We
recommend an affordable sprayer such as a Wagner
(available at most hardware stores).
DO NOT spray this Pretreatment near your printer. Pretreat shirts
in a different room if possible, but at a minimum make a cardboard
enclosure for use during applications. The Pretreatment is sticky
and can ruin the Print Head as well as damage the Encoder Strip.
The Encoder Strip is a thin piece of clear plastic with data that is
read by the Print Head as the unit operates. The Encoder Strip tells
the Print Head exactly where to print an image. If the Encoder Strip
becomes dirty or damaged, the printer will get confused, resulting in
the printing of multiple images, strips of solid ink and other irregular
printing patterns.
NOTE: If you own a AutoTREAT, pretreating in the same room is possible.
Final Unpacking Instructions
DO NOT try to move the Print Carriage off of the Capping Station. The T-Jet Blazer PRO and Express
both lock the Print Carriage onto the Capping Station for safe shipping. Forcing the Print Carriage to
move will damage your printer.
Note: You may nd a small amount of ink on the Waste Pad and/or Capping Station during setup. This is
normal and there is no need to be alarmed. Each printer is run through a series of test print cycles before
shipping to ensure it is operating properly.
Lift the top cover and release the Green shipping tab lock located at the
base of the Print Carriage (on the right end of the printer).
NOTE: If transporting the printer, re-lock the green shipping tab.
