 Using the PF-Pro Disc Printer 

Creating Disc Labels 

The first step is to create a disc label of the correct size, 12cm x 12cm.  You may use any application 
you prefer to create your labels. 

Included on the Installation disc are 2 eps-format templates for you to use.  These are essentially 
blank files of the correct size that show where the outer edge of the disc and the inner hub will the 
image when your disc label designs are printed.  One is for use with non-hub printable media (36mm 
hub), while the other is to be used with hub printable media.  Simply copy your artwork into these files 
to create an easy disc label. 

These files do not need to be used, but are provided for an easy reference when creating labels. 

Loading Discs 

The next step is to load your PF-Pro Disc Printer with output discs.  
The system will accept CD or DVD 120 mm (12 cm) inkjet 
printable discs.  If the disc does not have an inkjet printable 
surface, the ink will not adhere to the surface of the disc.  The PF-
Pro Disc Printer will only accept 12 cm discs.  Business card or 8 
cm discs are not supported by this system. 

Load the first 5 or 6 discs flat, as seen in the top image to the 
right. 

Load the rest of the discs at an angle, against the wide input rod, 
as seen in the bottom image to the right. 

The PF-Pro Disc Printer will hold a maximum of 100 discs.  DO 
NOT load more than 100 discs in the system, as this may cause 
the discs to feed incorrectly. 

Printing Discs 

 

Printing prior to burning any media is not recommended!! 

 

Page Setup 

While the Microboards PF-Pro Disc Printer will print from 
any application, you should always verify that the correct 
printer and paper size are being used.  Select 

Page Setup

 

from the file menu, choosing the 

PF-Pro

 printer and 

CD/DVD

 

120mm

 

in the 

Format For

 and 

Paper Size 

selections, respectively.

 

It is highly recommended that the image you are printing is 
120mm by 120mm.  Having a different size image may 
result in the improper placement of the image on the disc.
