QLS-4100 X 54
Cross Web Adjustment
Cross Web Adjustments allow you to align the printing of each of the four print
stations to obtain accurate color registration across the width of the label. These
adjustments can be made for print stations 1, 2, 3 and 4. One print station is
typically used as a reference and left unchanged while the other three stations are
adjusted relative to the reference station. Cross web adjustments are used to
compensate for minor variations in printhead position, and may be needed when
a printhead is replaced.
This procedure is typically performed in conjunction with a Print Line Adjustment.
Once this procedure has been performed, it rarely needs to be repeated during
normal operation. Cross web 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 paused state.
Press the NEXT or PREVIOUS key until the Test Print menu is displayed.
Press the + or - key until the Proc. Block Pattern (CMYK) option is displayed.
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.
