QLS-8100 Xe 4-11
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-8100 Xe is printing a block test pattern.
To perform a print line adjustment:
1 Select the slowest print speed for the adjustment process to conserve
media and ribbon. For more information on changing print speed, refer
to the print adjustment menu functions described in this chapter.
2 Print the Proc. Block Pattern (CMYK) test pattern. For more information
on printing the test pattern, refer to the cal & setup menu functions
described in this chapter.
Printing will continue throughout the adjustment process until the
printer is paused or the operating state of the printer is changed. The
pattern on the test labels will show each of the current print stations
providing a visual indication of how much adjustment each print station
location needs.
3 If the printer is in a Ready state, proceed to the next step.
If the printer is in a Pause state, press the NEXT or PREVIOUS key until
the Adjust menu is displayed. Then press the SELECT key.
