(3) Put a T-shirt onto the platen, with its printing side facing upward.
<IMPORTANT>

If the 16X21 platen is mounted, slide it forward and place a T-shirt on it.
<TIPS>

For the position alignment of white or pale-colored T-shirts, a grid to be printed out on the platen sheet is available from [All
Programs] in the Start menu, by selecting "Brother GTX pro Tools" > "Useful Tools".

(4) Smooth down the creases in the T-shirt and remove lint and dust from it.
<TIPS>

Seams on a hemmed (edge), neck portion, armhole, tucks and sleeves or the like are easily detected by the obstacle
sensor.

In particular, both ends of the T-shirt tend to be raised easily during the printing operation if not flattened properly and
detected by the obstacle sensor.

Touching on the fixated pretreated surface should be avoided during the work.

Do not pull the T-shirt with the pretreatment applied. Instead, flatten it in such a way that it will fit onto the platen surface
well.

When the surface of the T-shirt does not remain flattened properly, the obstacle sensor detects it.

In the event that any T-shirt is placed on the platen by pulling it outward forcibly, there are instances in which ejection areas
of the white and color inks are misaligned and the white ink extends off its specified printing area. In particular, be careful
not to stretch a thin T-shirt outward on the platen.
