4-5. Placing the T-shirt on the Platen 

 CAUTION 

Ensure there is adequate space left for safe working. The Platen moves forward while 
operating.  

Do not handle the platen while printing. If your hand gets caught between the platen or the 
T-shirt tray and the covers, it may be injured. 

Do not move the Platen by hand. 
The Printer may be seriously damaged by this. 

 
To get the optimum quality print result, you need to adjust the Platen height depending on the 
thickness of the T-shirt. 

<Note>  
If Platen height is too low, the result may be poor quality (e.g. a straight line becomes double). Adjust it 
properly by test moving the platen in with Platen Button on the Control Panel. When you have to lower 
the Platen to avoid any material which is thicker i.e. hems the hems, use Uni-Directional print (see "7-2-4. 
Changing the Print Direction").   

(1)  If the Platen is not ejected, press the Platen Button to eject it. 
(2)  Gently turn the Platen Height Adjustment Lever to the left until it stops.
