T-Jet Blazer Express Quick Start Setup Guide
DO NOT overll the cartridge. There are hash marks on the front of each cartridge denoting
increments of 50 ml, with the top mark referencing 200 ml. DO NOT add ink beyond this
mark. As a guide, stickers have been afxed to the front of each Ink Cartridge indicating the
RECOMMENDED ink levels of between 50 and 150 ml. Top off the ink at the start of every shift
to keep it as close to the “full” level as possible.
2. Prime the cartridge.
The Blazer Series printers include a priming pump which will prime
the ink from the Bulk Ink System container into the cartridge. There is
a knob on the top that operates the pressure. It is not necessary to
adjust this knob. The process of priming the cartridges will save a lot
of ink by reducing the number of Power Cleaning Cycles needed in
Chapter 8.
• Connect the priming pump to the hole in
the bottom of the cartridge.
Secure the hose to the cartridge by •
pressing in with your thumb.
• With your other hand, pump the handle until
ink comes through the line and into the
reservoir.
Disconnect the pump from the cartridge and •
pour the ink collected in the pump reservoir
back into the corresponding Bulk Ink System
container.
Prepare a glass of warm water. Rinse the •
pump and reservoir. Pull back the spring
lock to open the hose and immerse into the
water. Pump using other hand until water has
reached the reservoir. Repeat using fresh water until clean. Note: The darker the ink color is, the
more you may have to rinse.
Re-seat the blue cap in the opening of the newly lled and primed cartridge. Do not tighten •
completely. Tightening the cap could cause starvation of the ink to the head if the breather caps
should become clogged.
Repeat for remaining colors. 3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each color until all eight Bulk Ink Cartridges have been lled and primed.
Insert the cartridges into the printer.4.
There is a blue lever for each set of cartridges. Raise the levers and remove the cleaning cartridges
(save these for later use). The slots and cartridges are numbered from 1-8. Using these numbers as
a guide, place the Bulk Ink cartridges into your printer and lower both blue levers to secure them in
place. The colors CMYK will be placed in slots 1-4, and FastINK Bright White in slots 5-8.
