Microboards Toolbox 

Access the Toolbox by selecting the 

System Preferences

 from the Dock.  Select 

Print & Fax

.  Highlight the Microboards GX Series icon and click the 

Utility 

icon.  

The Toolbox pages will appear in the following order. 

 

Ink Level 

The 

Ink Levels

 show how much remains of all 3 colors, 

Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. 

NOTE: If you place a used cartridge in the GX-2, the ink 
level may not be reported correctly.  If the GX-2 can identify 
the cartridge, it may report the correct ink levels; if not, it 
will assume that the ink cartridge is new and will show ink 
levels of 100%. 

Before each disc is printed, the ink levels are checked.  If 
the level of any one color is has reached 10%, a warning 
message will be displayed on your Mac and printing will be 
temporarily suspended.  You can either change the 
cartridge at this point, or continue printing using the same 
cartridge.   

If you continue with the same cartridge, printing will continue uninterrupted until the ink level reaches 
5%.  The low ink level warning will be displayed once more.  Again, either change the cartridge or 
continue.   

Once the ink level reaches 3% or less, the warning will be displayed before each print. 

It is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridge at this point. 

 

Test 

To confirm the computer is communicating with the GX-2 
Disc Publisher, print a Test Disc.  This can be done with one 
of the inkjet printable CD’s included with your GX-2 Disc 
Publisher, or an inkjet compatible disc you may already 
have. To print the Test Disc: 

  Place the inkjet printable media directly onto the 

belts below the input hopper.  The robotics will not 
load the disc for you. 

 

From the Microboards Toolbox, select 

Test

 Click 

the 

Test

 button. 

  Once printing is complete, the disc will be ejected 

into the output hopper.
