QLS-4100 X 52
Print Line Adjustment
Print Line Adjustments allow you to align the printing of each of the four print
stations to obtain accurate color registration in the media travel direction. These
adjustments are made for print stations 1, 2, and 3 using print station 4 as a
stationary reference. As such, there is no print line adjustment available for print
station 4. Print line adjustments are used to compensate for minor variations in
printhead or media positions, and may be needed when media is changed or a
printhead is replaced.
Once this procedure has been performed, it rarely needs to be repeated during
normal operation. Print line adjustments are best performed dynamically while
the QLS-4100 X is printing a block test pattern.
To print a block test pattern:
Select the slowest print speed for the adjustment process to conserve media and
ribbon.
Press the PRINT/PAUSE key until the printer is in the Pause state.
Press the NEXT or PREVIOUS key until the Test Print menu is displayed.
Press the + or - pushbuttons until the Proc. Block Pattern (CMYK) option is dis-
played.
Press the SELECT key. An asterisk (*) appears to confirm your choice.
Press the SELECT key again. The printer will immediately begin to print labels
showing the block test pattern.
Printing will continue throughout the adjustment process until the printer is paused
or the operating state of the printer is changed. The pattern on the test labels will
show each of the current print stations providing a visual indication of how much
adjustment each print station location needs.
