Diameter Settings Tab 

 

The Diameter Settings tab allows you to 
change the size of the print image to 
accommodate the variety of printable 
surface area available on media.  

 

The Outer and Inner 

Diameters

 will 

change the size of the area to be printed.  
To avoid excessive ink buildup, these 
values should never be set so that the MX 
Disc Publisher is printing off the media. 

The Parameter Unit should remain on the 

0.1mm

 setting for maximum precision. 

 

 

 

 

 

Utility Tab 

The Utility tab allows you to change the printer alignment 
settings. 
 

The 

Resolution

 setting should always be set at 

.1mm

 for 

best results. 

Alignment

 values will move the print image on the disc.   

Increasing the 

Top

 alignment value will move the print image down on the disc, while decreasing it 

will move the image up on the disc.  Increasing the 

Left

 alignment value will move the print image to 

the right on the disc, while decreasing it will move the image left.  

 

About Tab
