VELOCI-T IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

1) In order to keep your Veloci-T running well, you must print at least 15 shirts per week*. 2) We highly recommend that you print at least 36 shirts within 7 days of setting up your printer. Printing just a handful of shirts is not enough to learn how to use the printer. You must print a few dozen shirts before you start getting the hang of it. 3) A high-speed internet connection is required for software support. To help you with software, we prefer to remotely connect to your computer using a secure program. This speeds up software support a great deal, but it requires a good internet connection. 4) An HD webcam and Skype are required for hardware support. (Skype is video chat software available for free). Letting our techs see the printer through a video chat improves our ability to help you with any questions you have on the hardware. 5) Equipment Zone is here to answer any questions you may have. For telephone support, submit a support ticket at: http://support.equipmentzone.com/support.php?pg=ticket Or if you don’t have access to the Internet, call us at 201-797-1504. For general questions, the Veloci-T Community Forum, a private forum for Veloci-T owners, is a good place to go. Register for a free account at: http://www.equipmentzone.com/vtcommunity/entry/register *You may flush the printer if you are unable to print at least 15 shirts per week, or if you are going on vacation, etc. Follow the How to Flush Your Veloci-T guide in the manual or at http://guides.equipmentzone.com

1: How to Set Up Your Veloci-TWritten By: Equipment Zone

Step 1 — 1: How to Set Up Your Veloci-T

After you've opened up the Veloci-T's cardboard box, remove all the cardboard packaging.

With another person's help, lift the printer out of the box and onto a sturdy table.

Pick up the Veloci-T using the recessed handles that are located at the front and backof the printer.

Do not attempt to lift the Veloci-T by yourself. It's not very heavy, but it stillrequires two people to lift it.

Step 2

Some of the items you'll find insidethe box:

Blue printer cover. Use this tocover the printer at night orduring extended periods ofdowntime.

USB cable (6 foot).

Power cable. 120 volt. Should beplugged into a quality surgeprotector.

USB dongle. Connect this toyour computer before installingthe software. Be careful not tolose this -- it is required in orderto operate the software.

Step 3

Now it's time to install the external maintenance bottle.

Locate the clear plastic hose on the back right of the printer.

Then, locate the external maintenance bottle.



Step 4

Unscrew the cap.

Then, push the plastic hose through the hole in the cap. This might take a little effort.

Step 5

Screw the cap back onto the bottle.Push the hose through the cap alittle more, making sure to leavesome slack so that the hose is nottoo tight.

Use the velcro on the back of theexternal maintenance tank tosecure it to the side of the printer.



Step 6

Slide the silver and black shirt holder out of the printer. Set it aside for now.

For purposes of setup, you can pull the shirt holder out from the front or the backof the printer.

Step 7

Now that the shirt holder isremoved, place the bubble level onthe bed.

Check the middle bubble. If it's notcentered, adjust one of the four feeton the Veloci-T until the printer islevel.

Screw the feet up or down toadjust the height.

When you're done, remove thelevel.



Step 8

A quick overview of the controlpanel on the right side of theVeloci-T:

The top button is the print cancelbutton. You'll use this rarely.

The second button is the inkbutton. The light turns on if anink cartridge needs to bereplaced. (Note: when you turnon your printer for the first time,this light will be on. This isnormal.)

The bottom button is the loadmedia button. The light turns onif you try to print a graphic butyour shirt holder isn't loaded.

Step 9

Plug the power cord into theprinter, and plug the prong end intoa good quality surge protector.

Plug the surge protector into astandard, 120V grounded outlet.



Step 10

Turn the printer on using the poweron/off switch on the back of theprinter.

Step 11

Now, follow this guide: How to Fill Veloci-T Cartridges

Once you've filled the cartridges, follow this guide: Putting Cartridges Into the Veloci-TPrinter

Step 1 — 2: How to Fill Veloci-T Cartridges

Here's how to fill the cartridges forthe Veloci-T Direct-to-GarmentPrinter.

Here's what you'll need:

Ink bottles. (Cyan, Magenta,Yellow, Black and the bottle ofCleaning Solution.)

Syringes. We give you five, onefor each color plus one for thecleaning solution.

Cartridges. The Veloci-T hasfive in total.

A plastic cup, or a similarcontainer. To be used to fill upthe syringe more easily.

2: How to Fill Veloci-T Cartridges


Step 2

There are five cartridges. Onecyan, one magenta, one yellow,and two black cartridges.

On the Veloci-T, one of the blackcartridges should be filled withcleaning solution.

Make sure to put thiscartridge in the CL slotwhen we put the cartridges intothe printer later.

The two black cartridges areidentical other than the fact thatone will be filled with black inkand one will be filled withcleaning solution.

NOTE: Your cartridges may appearslightly different from the type inthe photo.



Step 3

One of the black ink cartridges should have a CL label on it. This is the cartridge thatshould be filled with cleaning solution.

If your cartridge is missing that label, stick an extra CL sticker onto it.

Step 4

Remove both the clear plug and the colored plug from the top of the cartridge.

These pull straight out from the top. Use your hands, not any tools, to remove them.

If your cartridge has two colored plugs and no clear plugs, remove both colored plugsinstead.



Step 5

Once the plugs are removed, it'stime to fill your syringe.

Pour just a little ink into thecup. You'll need less thanan ounce.

It's often easier to fill the syringefrom a plastic cup than straightfrom the bottle. Plus, this methodhelps avoid sucking air into thesyringe.

Step 6

Remove the syringe from itspackaging.

Don't worry - the syringeisn't sharp. It's alsoentirely made of plastic.



Step 7

Screw the beige plastic tip onto the syringe.

It takes about two turns until it screws on all the way.

Step 8

Stick the tip of the syringe into thecup of ink.

Pull back on the plunger untilyou've filled the syringe up to aboutthe 12 cc mark.

Keeping the tip of thesyringe submerged in theink as you pull will limit the amountof air which gets into your syringe.That's a good thing.



Step 9

Here's what the syringe should looklike when it is filled with ink.

Again, fill to the 12 cc line. Youdon't have to be exact.

cc is the exact same measurementas ml. So you're filling your syringewith 12 ml of ink.

Step 10

Locate the filler hole.

This will be towards the back sideof the cartridge, the side that hasthe ink chips.

The filler hole will also have arecessed area around it. This areawill help to catch excess ink if youaccidentally fill your cartridge toomuch.



Step 11

Put the syringe into the filler hole all the way.

You'll be creating a seal with the top of the cartridge. It doesn't have to be a tight seal.

Push down on the plunger and fill the cartridge with ink.

You don't need to fill the cartridge up 100% of the way. 95% full is fine.

You will rarely use all the ink in the syringe to fill up the cartridge. That's ok. Just squirt itback into the bottle.

Step 12

Put the colored plug back in thefiller hole.

Leave the clear plastic cap out ofthe other hole. That hole is the airhole.

The air hole should only becovered when you aretransporting the printer orleaving the printer unused for alength of time.




Step 13

Over a sink, separate the plungerof the syringe from the body.

Clean the plunger and the body ofthe syringe with warm water.

Step 14

Push the plunger back into thesyringe.



Step 1 — 3: Putting Cartridges Into the Veloci-T Printer

Grab the 5 cartridges you filled inthe How to Fill Veloci-T Cartridgesguide.

Make sure the 5 colored plugs arein the filler holes and the 5 clearplugs are out of the air holes.

Put the clear plugs in thecartridges for storage ortransportation, not when printing.

Step 2

Make sure your printer is turnedon. Use the power button at theback of the printer.

Then, open the smoky gray coverat the top of the printer.

3: Putting Cartridges Into the Veloci-T Printer


Step 3

When a cartridge needs to bereplaced, the ink light on thecontrol panel will be on.

Follow the steps in this guide toreset the cartridge and turn off theink light.

Press and release the ink buttononce.

Step 4

The ink droplet arrow points at thecartridge that should berefilled/replaced.



Step 5

Press the Ink button again.

If the ink droplet arrow is pointing at another spot on the sticker, continue with thisstep.

If the ink droplet arrow is pointing at the silver metal, proceed to step 6.

--

The ink droplet arrow is now pointing at the next cartridge that needs to berefilled/replaced.

Press the Ink Button again (up to four times) until the ink droplet arrow is pointing at thesilver metal.



Step 6

This spot, pointing to the silvermetal, just to the right of the yellowlabel is the CartridgeReplacement Position.

You must make sure thearrow is pointing to theCartridge Replacement Positionbefore removing or inserting anycartridges.

You won't damage anything ifyou remove or insert cartridgesat another time.

However, the only way to get theink light to turn off is by onlyremoving or inserting cartridgeswhile in the CartridgeReplacement Position.

Step 7

Now that the print head is in theCartridge Replacement Position,open the black cover using thegray tab.



Step 8

Remove the cartridge(s) that was indicated in Steps 4 and 5.

Refill the cartridge(s), if necessary.

Proceed to the next step for instructions on putting the cartridge(s) back in.

Step 9

Ink cartridges should be ordered using the sticker as a guide.

Push the cartridge down until it clicks into place.

The order of the cartridges is BLACK-CLEANING SOLUTION-CYAN-MAGENTA-YELLOW



Step 10

Again, make sure that the clearplastic plugs are removed and thecolored plugs stay in place.

Step 11

Then close the cartridge cover bypushing it down until it clicks intoplace.

Step 5

Make sure the shirt holder is properly loaded. Then Click the Print Nozzle Check Patternbutton.

The nozzle check pattern is a row of three boxes made up of dashes. These three boxeswill have printed on the top edge of the shirt holder and paper.

Compare your nozzle check to the third image.

The leftmost box is the K or Black Ink nozzle, followed by a transparent box of thecleaning solution, and then rightmost box consists of the three color nozzles on top ofeach other.

You should see a third of Yellow, then Magenta, and Cyan and the bottom.

If there are significant sections missing dashes, then you should perform a head cleaningby holding the gray Ink button (the one with the ink droplet) for three seconds.

If there are only a few dashes missing, then the process of printing will likely refill thosenozzle sections.

If the nozzle check is perfect or only missing one or two dashes, you are set to print!

How to Flush Your Veloci-T

Direct-To-Garment PrinterWritten By: Equipment Zone

Step 1 — How to Flush Your Veloci-T Direct-To-Garment Printer

Prepare your Cleaning Cartridge set for use.

Make sure that each of the five Cleaning Cartridges is filled with cleaning solution.

Fill them in the same manner that you would an ink cartridge.

Use a clean syringe; if necessary, unscrew the plastic tip from a syringe and clean both itand the inside of the syringe with warm water.

The cleaning cartridges should be filled at least three-fourths of the way with solution.You will need to refill them once during the process in order to fully flush the machine.

How to Flush Your Veloci-T Direct-To-Garment Printer


Step 2

Make sure the printer is turned on and in its resting state.

Press the Ink Button once and wait for the carriage to move across the width and back toink labels.

If the carriage arrow indicator stops at a ink label, push the Ink Button again until thewhite arrow is in the reset position, about an inch-and-a-half past the yellow label.

Open the cover of the carriage to expose the cartridges.

Put the round plastic breather plugs back into each cartridge. This will prevent them fromleaking when left of the machine.

Remove the ink cartridges and replace them with the Cleaning Cartridges.

The two black Cleaning Cartridges are interchangeable, while the three color ones mustgo into their respective slots.



Step 3

Remove the round plastic breathers from each Cleaning Cartridge and close thecarriage cover.

Press the Ink Button and the carriage will move back over the capping station.

Wait about 45 seconds for the initial prime to finish.

If the Ink Light stays on, then either a cartridge is not in it's respective slot or a chip failedto contact the pins. Press the Ink Button again and the carriage will move to indicatewhich cartridges need to be set again.

Remember to reset the cartridges while the carriage is in the reset position, past theyellow label! The chips do not reset when the arrow indicator is pointing to an ink label.

If the prime occurred successfully and the Ink Light stay off, then you are ready to run thenecessary Ink Charges.



Step 4

Open the Adjustment Program. This is found on the software disc in its own folder. Youcan run it right off of the disc.

Double-click to open the file called AdjProg.exe or just AdjProg.

Click Accept. Then click Particular Adjustment Mode.

Find and double-click Ink Charge in the list of actions.



Step 5

Click the Ink Charge button.

The Ink Charge is a powerfulvariant of the Head Cleaning, andis used in order to fully flush theprint head nozzles.

An Ink Charge usually takes 60seconds.

Once the first one finishes, clickthe Ink Charge button again to runa second one.

Watch the fluid being pumpedthrough the waste tank hose. Itshould start to look lighter.

Click the Ink Charge button a thirdtime after the second chargefinishes.

The goal of flushing is to replace allthe ink in the print head withsolution and flush out the cappingstation pad. You will want toperform at least five Ink Chargesto fully flush the head and cappingpad.

Keep clicking Ink Charge (after themachine is finished with a currentcharge) until you get an Ink Outmessage. This usually occurs onthe third or fourth Charge.



Step 6

When the Adjustment Program displays an Ink Out error after having clicked the InkCharge button, you will notice that the Ink Light on the printer is red as well.

Click OK on the error message.

Press the Ink Button on the printer. There is a chance that the Ink Light will go out andthe carriage will slide right to the reset position. If this is the case, open the cover and refillall the cartridges one by one.

The two black cartridges will likely be empty. The color ones should still be about half full.

Replace the cartridges and hit the Ink Button.

If the carriage did stop at a label (the two black labels most likely), press the Ink Buttonuntil the carriage is in the reset position. Open the cover and refill the cartridges one byone.

After refilling the cartridges in the reset position, close the cover and press the Ink Buttonto return the carriage to the capping station. If the Ink Light had turned off during this refillprocess, and now is on, reset the chips like normal, again using the Ink Button.



Step 7

Once the cartridges are refilled andthe Ink Light is off, run two moreInk Charges from the AdjustmentProgram.

The fluid in the waste tank hoseshould be transparent by this point.

Make sure that you have performeda total of five successful InkCharges!

Press the Ink Button to move thecarriage to the reset position. If itstops at an ink label, press the InkButton again until it moves toreset.

Push the plastic breathers backinto the Cleaning Cartridges.Close the carriage cover.

Rock the carriage back and forthuntil it unlocks and push it to thecenter of the printer.

Clean the capping station pad andgears with a dry swab to mop upany extra fluid.

Press the Ink Button to move thecarriage back over the cappingstation.

Step 8

Turn the printer off at the breaker.

Make sure the waste bottle is empty.

Make sure the plastic breathers are in the Cleaning Cartridges.

If you've completed five Ink Charges successfully, your print head and capping stationshould be flushed, preparing the machine for shipping or storage.



Step 1 — Maintaining Your Veloci-T Printer

The Veloci-T is a printer that likesto be printed. The more you print,the better.

You should print at least 4 days aweek. Even just printing one or twoshirts helps to keep ink moving.

This is a great opportunity toprint sample shirts. Make adesign that showcases thecolorful, photographic detail theprinter is capable of. Use thisdesign to pitch your services tonew businesses.

If you know that you're notgoing to be printing for morethan three days in a row, flush theink from your printer using theincluded cleaning cartridges.

Maintaining Your Veloci-T Printer


Step 2

Besides printing on a regular basis,it's also important to keep yourprinter in the right environment.

Keep the printer in a clean, dust-free environment.

Don't let fans or air conditioningvents blow directly on the printer.

The printer should be kept in anarea with a temperature around72°F. The temperature shouldn't gobelow 65° or above 80°.

The humidity should be keptbetween 40% and 80%, with 50%humidity as a general guideline.

Buy a humidity gauge from ahome center to monitor thehumidity levels. These usuallyhave thermometers built in. Theyare very inexpensive.



Step 3

Perform the maintenance at the end of every print day.

There is no need to perform maintenance on days that you don't print.

But, if you're not printing for more than 3 days in a row, you need to flush the printerwith cleaning solution.

The goal of these steps is to clean off ink that naturally accumulates on some printer partsduring printing.

Step 4

Next, make sure the printer isturned on.

Also make sure that the shirtholder is removed from the insideof the printer.



Step 5

Press the Ink button on the whitecontrol panel once.

The print head will move to the leftside of the printer, then return tothe right side.

Step 6

Then, push the print head to themiddle of the printer by hand.

The print head should be easy topush to the middle. You shouldhave to use very little effort.



Step 7

Now that the print head is pushedto the middle, take a look at thearea on the right side of the printerwith the small foam pads. This areais called the capping station.

We're going to be cleaning part ofthe capping station and the wiperblade.

Step 8

Take one of the foam swabs that was included with the printer and wet it with cleaningsolution.

You don't want the swab to be soaking wet, so you might want to wring it out a little.



Step 9

Use the swab to clean the black rubber gasket that surrounds the capping station sponge.

The sponge itself does not need to be cleaned.

You don't have to go crazy cleaning these parts -- just clean most of the ink off. It isn'tnecessary to spend heaps of time making sure it's perfectly clean.

Never use a cotton swab to clean these parts.

Step 10

Now clean the ramp to the rightof the print head. Use a dry swab.

The print head is the flat,shiny surface surroundedby silver metal. Never touch orattempt to clean the shiny partof the print head. You coulddamage the print head.



Step 11

Once you're done, take a dry swab and dry off the wiper blade and capping station gasket.

The cleaning process should only take a few minutes.

Step 12

Press the Ink button on the whitecontrol panel once.

Close the smoky gray cover at thetop of the printer.

The printer will do a short cleaning.Once the cleaning is done, turn theprinter off using the orange powerbutton at the back.

Step 13

Cover the printer with the blue dust cover.

Now the printer can be left for up to 3 days without printing.

Time to head home and think up ideas for new designs to print on your Veloci-T Direct-to-Garment Printer!
