the scorch marks you are getting can you post a photo, is it the same size mark every time ? what are you putting over your garment ie silicone paper ? or is it just the heatpress and the paper ?

What garment are you using? What colour? What colour is the scorch mark.

Try backing off the time, temp, and pressure - experiment til you find a sweet spot
Is the outline the mark of the paper (if so make your paper bigger than the press or tear the edges to soften them from being sharp)

Is that printing a yellow tint to the paper?
So when you print does it print just the image and then spit the paper out.
Or does it continue for a while then spit the paper out?

Have you been printing hi-vis or bright coloured polyester?
Is your cover paper leaching something onto the fabric when pressed?
