QLS-3000/2000 Xe Series

4-7

3

Print the Blocks test pattern, as described in the previous section.

4

After printing the pattern, examine alignment of the blocks within the
pattern. If registration is off on block edges or the pattern is not square,
realign the print stations.

On the QLS-3000 Xe, the process black block should appear solid without
any other color along an edge. If a color appears along an edge, realign
that print station.
