Ribbon Wrinkling Adjustments
The QLS-4100 Xe features an automatic ribbon tensioning mechanism to
ensure consistent tension from a full to empty ribbon supply roll.
The ribbon width should be matched to the label or tag width. Make sure
that the ribbon is not more than ¼ inch wider than the label because it may
cause the ribbon to wrinkle.
The ribbon should also not be narrower than the label or tag because it may
cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
Normally, a manual ribbon tension adjustment is not required. However, if
you notice film wrinkling or one of the colors smudging, you can adjust the
tension to alleviate these conditions.
• If film is wrinkling on a station, turn the knob on the ribbon supply
mandrel clockwise to increase the tension.
• If ink is smudging at a station, turn the knob on the ribbon supply
mandrel counterclockwise to decrease the tension.
