Adjustments

Your QLS-4100 X has been carefully set at the factory to print optimally using your specific type of media and ribbon. This chapter describes how to perform advanced adjustments that may be needed when specialized media is used in the printer.

This chapter explains how to:

•Adjust the printhead alignment relative to the platen roll to optimize ribbon transfer for different material types or thicknesses.

•Adjust the angularity of the printheads with respect to each other so that color alignment is consistent across the width of the media.

•Adjust the thermal transfer ribbon tension to alleviate wrinkling or smudging.

•Adjust the Printhead Lift Screw to redistribute printhead downward pressure when using narrow media.

•Set the System Baseline so that print jobs sent to multiple printers result in identical image positioning on the label.
