It's to test for even pressure from the press.
I've read that a good test for even pressure is to "put a dollar bill at all 4 corners on top of the pad, close the top panel and try to pull out dollar bill"...from All American Screen Print Supply
"Q: How do I check for proper pressure on my heat press?
A: When using a manual heat press, adjust the pressure so that you use a maximum pressure that you feel comfortable with. It is better to apply too much pressure than not enough. Remember also that when changing garment styles or brands you may have to readjust pressure on manual machines due to the variance in garment thickness.
To check your machine for even/proper pressure around the edges, place a dollar bill half-way in the machine at different locations around the press and apply pressure. You should not be able to pull the bill from the machine if proper/even pressure is being applied by the machine." ...from Barber and Company
