You can use your product to print a design right onto ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs to create a
custom label. You can do this using the EPSON Print CD software that came with your product.

Print a CD/DVD From Your Computer
Note:
If you’re using discs where the printable area extends to within 0.16 inch (4 mm) of the edge of
the center hole, you may need to adjust the inner diameter setting in the File menu of the EPSON
Print CD software.
For best results, Epson recommends printing on ink-jet printable CDs and DVDs with a white
surface.
Guidelines for Printing on CDs and DVDs
•
Use only ink jet-printable CDs and DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable and regular CDs
and DVDs should not be used with this printer.
•
Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink jet-printable CD or DVD before you
print. Otherwise, fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause errors when you burn
the data.
•
Always use the small CD/DVD adapter when you print on 8-cm discs, and make sure the disc
and adapter lie flat on the tray; otherwise the printer may be damaged.
•
Print only on circular CDs/DVDs.
•
Store the CD/DVD tray in a flat place. A warped or damaged CD/DVD tray may stop the
printer from operating normally.
•
Before you insert the disc, make sure that no dust or dirt is on the CD/DVD tray, as this may
damage the disc’s data side.
•
Do not insert the CD/DVD tray while the printer is printing; otherwise, your printer may be
damaged or the surface of the disc may become dirty or scratched.
•
Insert one disc at a time.
•
Be sure to use the CD/DVD tray provided with this printer. If you use another tray, there may
be a gap in the print position and printing may not be performed properly.
•
Before using or touching the printed surface of your discs, make sure you let them dry
completely.
•
Keep printed discs away from moisture and direct sunlight and handle them carefully.
•
Depending on your disc type, smearing may occur even after it has dried. If smearing or
stickiness occurs, you may need to adjust the print quality or try a different brand of CD or
DVD.
