Loading Label or Tag Media

The QLS-4100 X is capable of printing on a wide variety of media types and sizes and is designed to accept media up to a 12” OD (outside diameter) roll capacity on a 3” ID (inside diameter) core.

The QLS-4100 X positions the printed image correctly by utilizing either a transmissive or reflective sensor to detect the begining of a label or tag. In some applications a continuous media without notches or reflective marks can be used, and the length of the printed image is dictated by software.

When using the transmissive method of sensing, the media should have at least a 0.125” (3 mm) gap or notch. When using a reflective sensing method, the media should have a 0.078” (2 mm) solid black reflective mark on the back that extends a minimum of 0.5” (12 mm) from the inside edge of the media.

As an aid, a threading diagram showing the media path is printed on the center plate of the printer.
