QLS-4100 X 74
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 - key until the appropriate block pattern is displayed.
Select from one of the following patterns:
• Proc. Block Pattern (CMYK) - for normal process color printing
• Proc. Block Pattern (KCMY) - for process color printing with black ribbon
installed on print station #1
• Block Pattern (All) - for spot color printing
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.
