QuickLabel LF-100 - Lamination Sensor; Media Not Aligned Properly

Troubleshooting
LF-100 User Guide 36
Recalibrating the Media Sensor
Note: This operation has to be done while the media is loaded.
1. Hold down the calibration button located on the media sensor until the LED flashes off
then on. The result should be a solid LED on the sensor.
Lamination Sensor
The lamination sensor is used to detect the presence of the lamination material. The LED on
this sensor should always be OFF after the lamination roll has been loaded properly; it would
also indicate that the sensor is in good working condition.
Note: This sensor should always be covered with a blue cap should you decide NOT to use
lamination on your media.
Things to Remember About this Sensor
• If the LED on this sensor is ON after the lamination roll has been loaded with both the
yellow and green LEDs on the control panel being on, it could indicate that lamination roll
ran out and would need to be changed.
• If the LED is still ON after loading the lamination roll with both the yellow and green LEDs
on the control panel being on, it would indicate that the sensor is out of sync and needs
to be re-calibrated.
Re-calibrating Lamination Sensor
Note: This operation has to be done with the lamination roll in place.
1. Locate the small screw on the lamination sensor.
2. Turn the screw on the sensor either clockwise or counter clockwise until the LED on the
sensor turns off.
If calibrated properly, the LED should stay OFF when the lamination roll is detected and
turn ON when lamination roll has run out.
Media Not Aligned Properly
Problem
If the media is not aligned properly after running a couple of jobs.
Cause
This problem occurs for a couple of reasons. The primary reason would be that the tension
force on the on the rubber roller assembly, media core and the lamination core (If using
lamination) are all out of sync and need adjusting. Another reason could be that the media was
wounded unevenly to begin with thus creating an uneven media roll. Make sure the distance
between top to top black-marks is set correctly.
