Printhead & Drive Station Lift
Your QLS-4100 Xe printhead and drive station are mounted to a center-
pivoting shaft. This permits even pressure to be applied across the width of 
the media. When using narrow media, the Printhead and Drive Station Lift 
Screws allows you to relieve unnecessary pressure against the platen roller 
and drive roller. This will prolong the life of the printhead and platen while 
providing a more even application of downward pressure onto the media 
where it is needed. 
Tools Needed: 
Slip Joint Pliers 
Using a pair of slip-joint pliers grip the Printhead Lift Screw or the Drive 
Station Lift Screw 
• Turn the screw clockwise to lift the head or station and relieve pressure. 
• Turn the screw counterclockwise to lower the head or station and apply 
pressure
This adjustment is best performed while the printer is printing so that you 
can evaluate print quality as adjustments are made.
