Other Hints and Tips
Eliminating Ink Drops on Shirts
When you perform a Head Cleaning, ink is forced through
the Nozzles and the Print Head is cleaned and wiped by
the printer. On occasion, this may not clean away small
pieces of shirt lint that collect around the base. This excess
lint can create ink build up, causing ink to drip onto a
garment. Using a foam tip swab, water, glass cleaner, or
cleaning fluid, clean any lint and ink residue off the edges.
BE CAREFUL not to rub the bottom of the Print Head. This is where the actual
Nozzles are located and they can be easily damaged.
Clean Bulk System Computer Chips
The small computer chips on the back of the ink cartridge can get dirty and not
make good contact. If you get sporadic error messages on certain colors, clean
the chips with a foam-tipped swab and Isopropyl Alcohol. A pencil eraser also
works well for this task.
RAM and Your Computer
RAM is the temporary memory that your computer uses when processing
complex data. RAM is NOT expensive and most computers ship with only 512mb
of RAM, which is not enough, especially when using FastARTIST and FastRIP. Your
computer should have 1 to 2 GB of RAM.
If using or upgrading to Windows Vista, you will need at least 2GB of RAM for
proper operation of your printer and software.
When in Doubt – Unplug Everything
Sometimes inkjet printers just get “confused,” especially if you stop them in the
middle of a run. If the printer is suddenly acting abnormally, turn everything OFF
and unplug the power cord. Make sure to disconnect the USB cable between
your Fast T-Jet Blazer Pro and the computer to end data transmission that still
may be occurring. Leave everything unplugged for a few minutes and then
plug it all back in and start over.
You MUST cancel all print jobs for this to be effective or they may resume printing
when you again turn ON the computer and printer.
