For best printing results, use the following procedure to clean the print head and rollers with alcohol. Also note that tape adhesive tends to accumulate on the sides of the tape outlet after long use of the QG-100. When this happens, use an alcohol-moistened cotton swab to clean off the adhesive. 1 Open the printer’s cover.

5-2. CIRCUIT EXPLANATION FLOW OF PICTURE DATA (Refer to 3. BLOCK DIAGRAM) 1. The picture data from QV camera (digital serial data) are converted into compressed parallel data (8 bits) by CPU (LSI1), then its data are accumulated in the S-RAM (LSI4). 2.
6. SETTING THE THERMAL HEAD SETTING THE THERMAL HEAD RANK Solder the pads (RNK1 ~ RNK4) on PCB Z568-2 according to the head rank number indicated on the tip of FPC from the thermal head. Refer to the next table. HEAD RANK No.
Page 15
SETTING THE THERMAL HEAD POSITION 1 Remove the printer unit referring to 9. DIS- ASSEMBLY. 2 Remove 2 screws, then remove scissors sub ass'y. (Refer to the right figure) 3 Adjust the clearance of C part of in the head holder ass'y to 1.35 mm by turning the head shaft Z568 using screw driver (-) and clearance gauge.
SB-62 Cable • Printer power may turn on automatically when you connect the adaptor and plug into a wall socket. If this happens, be sure to turn off the digital camera and the QG-100 before connecting the SB- 62 cable.
• Printing may stop momentarily while you are outputting a series of prints or after you have used the QG-100 continually for a long time. This is a normal operation that the QG-100 performs to protect against overheating, and does not indicate malfunction. Normal printing should resume automatically.

9. HALF TONE PATTERN PRINTING CHECK Set the tape cartridge(46 mm, color tape) to QG-100, then press PRINT button. A half-tone pattern picture will be printed as shown bellow. Check the printed picture. An extreme abnormal picture (uneven, stirred and striped picture) is bad.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING • Power Supply POWER indicator does not light when you press ON. Possible Cause Recommended Action AC adaptor is not plugged in properly. Check AC adaptor connections. • Printing Tape does not come out when PRINT key is pressed. Possible Cause Recommended Action Printer cover is not closed.
