Is the fabric skewed?
o
If the fabric is not loaded correctly, the fabric may skew and the print position may be displaced. Be careful of the
following, and load the fabric correctly.
When pulling out the fabric, hold the center of the fabric in one hand, and pull it straight out.

U
Is the fabric floating up from the belt?
o
If the application to the belt is too weak, the fabric may float up, shifting from the print position. Increase the heater
temperature from the control panel.
"Control Panel Menu" on page 342
U
However, note that raising the temperature too high can cause the fabric to shrink, wrinkle, or deteriorate. In addition,
the heaters may require some time to reach the desired temperature if the ambient temperature is low. The heaters may
also not have the desired effect after reaching the selected temperature if the fabric is too cold. Allow the fabric to warm
to room temperature before use.
If the problem persists, reapply the glue.
