Compressed Air Connection

Preparing the Air Regulator

When you receive the QLS-4100 X Printer, the Air Intake Regulator is ready for operation. The air pressure regulator has been set at the factory for the proper air pressure. You only need to connect your in-house air supply to the printer.

QuickLabel Systems can supply you with a portable, quiet air compressor suitable for office use should you not have a source of compressed air.

Connecting the Air Supply

1Obtain a suitable source of in-house air. Be sure to turn off the supply of air to this connection before making any connections.

2Attach an appropriate threaded fitting to the Air Intake Regulator using Teflon tape on the threads to seal the fitting.

3Attach your in-house air source to the Air Intake Regulator.

4Turn on the supply of air to this connection.

5Check the indicator dial to ensure that the regulator is set to 70 PSI.

6If adjustment is required, pull down on the regulator knob to unlock it and turn the knob until the desired pressure level is reached:

•Turn the knob clockwise to increase air pressure

•Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease air pressure

7When finished adjusting the pressure, push the regulator knob upwards to lock it into place.

Note

The QLS-4100 X can be used without compressed air, but the RibbonRation system cannot be used. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on how to disable the RibbonRation system.
