Step 4: The timer will be active during the transfer, once the transfer time is up, the upper heat
platen will auto open and swing away to another side automatically.
Step 5: Consult the Transfer Paper instructions on whether to peel cold or hot, here are
suggested Pressing time guidelines for different transfer paper (Rough values).
Ink-Jet Transfer Paper (fabric) 14-18 seconds
Laser Copier/Printer Transfer Paper (fabric) 18-25 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto Fabrics) 25-30 seconds
Sublimation Transfers (onto FR-Plastic/Woods) 60-70 seconds
NOTE:
1)Please switch off the machine and unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.
2)The heat platen will cool down to the room temperature, if heat press stays unused for more
than 30 minutes.
The heat-releasing fan will automatically start when the temperature of heat platen reaches 80
degrees centigrade (176 degrees Fahrenheit). It helps to reduce the temperature of electrical
parts and prolong the service life of them.
4) For better maintenance of heat press, the maximum setting temperature is 210 degrees
centigrade (410 degrees Fahrenheit).
5) To avoid re-heating the first transfer when printing double sided T-Shirts, insert a sheet of
cardboard in between the shirt, adjust the height to less pressure, then press.
6) Heat platen may pivot slightly back and forth rotationally. This is due to movement allowance
within the clamp assembly, and is normal.
5. Maintenance
1. No action after turn on the machine
1). Check the plug whether it connects well or whether it is broken.
2). Check the power switch or digital controller whether it is broken.
3). Check the fuse whether it has been burnt out.
4). Indicating light is on, but no display on screen, check the 5 cable of Railway transformer. If it’s
loosening, showing the problem is poor connection. If they connect well, this is showing that the
transformer is faulty.
2. The display screen is working well, but there is no temperature increase on the heat
platen.
1). Check whether the thermocouple of the heat platen is connected well. If the thermocouple is
loose, the display will show 255 and as a result the machine keeps beeping.
2). Check if theindicating light of solid-state relay is on, if not, check if the relay or digitalcontroller
is broken.
3). If you already changed the new solid-state relay but the heat platen still can’t heat up, check if
the heat platen is faulty or the heat platen’s power cable is loose, need to change by new heat
platen.
