6-2-4. Replacing the Platen Sheet

The Platen Sheet gets dirty in operation. Please replace the Platen Sheet to avoid making smudges on a T-shirt. To help align a T-shirt, you can print a grid on the Platen Sheet. It is in [ All Program ] > [ Brother GT-3 Tools ] > [ Useful Tools ]. Grid14x16.ar3 is for the standard Platen 14x16. (See "3-3-7. Opening the Useful Tools".)

(1)Press the Platen Button to eject the Platen.

(2)Remove slowly the Platen Sheet and the adhesive tape from the Platen. If you have difficulty, remove the Platen from the printer for operation.

(3)Clean the surface of the Platen using a soft cloth damped with mild detergent, and then wipe it using a soft and dry cloth. If you have difficulty, remove the Platen from the printer for operation.

(4)Make sure the surface of the Platen is completely dry, and then put the new Platen Sheet on the Platen. Peel off the smaller part of the coated paper. Position the Platen Sheet on the Platen without sticking to it. Apply the back position of the Platen Sheet to the Platen and go on little by little by peeling off the bigger part of the coated paper.

<Note>

Put the Platen Sheet straight against the Platen without making creases.
