SC-F2200 Series User's Guide
Fabric of printed T-shirts becomes
discolored and uneven over time
Clean the press surface of the heat press.
For some types of dark colored T-shirts, the dye
component of the fabric may stick to the press
surface during pressing. If you press a white or
light-colored t-shirt when this has happened, the
dye component attached to the press surface
transfers to the T-shirt and then reacts with
perspiration or sunlight causing it to discolor.
If you want to press different colored T-shirts, use
one of the following methods.
❏
Place release sheets on top of and under the
T-shirts.
Use new sheets or use them according to the
color of the T-shirt.
If you have placed cloth on top of and under
the T-shirt, place the sheets in the positions
shown in the illustration.
❏
If you have placed cloth on top of and under
the T-shirt, replace it with new cloth or use a
different cloth according to the color of the
T-shirt.
❏
Clean the press surface.
For details on cleaning the press, see the
manual supplied with the heat press.

When doing repeat printing or to print a job from
a USB memory stick that has already been set to
Bi-Direction (High Speed), Head Move Direction
may be set to Uni-Directional on the preview
screen. Try changing the setting to Auto.

Are you using a USB memory stick with a
slow reading speed?
If you use a USB memory stick with a slow reading
speed (4.63 MB/sec or less) when printing from a
USB memory stick, the print head stops at times
during printing and printing continues. Use a USB
memory stick with a fast reading speed.
