Cross Web Adjustment
Cross Web Adjustments allow you to align the printing of each of the four
print stations to obtain accurate color registration across the width of the
label. These adjustments can be made for print stations 1, 2, 3 and 4. One
print station is typically used as a reference and left unchanged while the
other three stations are adjusted relative to the reference station.
Cross web adjustments are used to compensate for minor variations in
printhead position, and may be needed when a printhead is replaced.
This procedure is typically performed in conjunction with a Print Line
Adjustment. Once this procedure has been performed, it rarely needs to be
repeated during normal operation. Cross web adjustments are best
performed dynamically while the QLS-4100 Xe is printing a block test
pattern.
To perform a cross web 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). For more information on printing
the test pattern, refer to the calibration & 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.
