Changing Print Diameters   

Different media types and brands may vary in the 
size of the printable surface.  When the print 
surface changes, you will need to set the printer to 
the correct sizes. 

Always make sure the images are printing centered 
on the disc before changing the diameter settings.  
If the image is not centered, please refer to page 
10 for infomration on the alignment process. 

To change the diameter of the printed area, click 
the 

Advanced

 button on the 

Print

 screen.  Select 

the 

Disc Printing

 option from the list circled to the 

right.  The settings to the right will appear. 

The 

Outer

 setting will change how closely to the 

edge of the disc the image will print.  Increase the 
Outer setting to leave less unprinted area at the 
outer edge.  Decrease the Outer setting to leave 
more unprinted area at the outer edge..   

The 

Inner

 setting will change how closely to the center of the disc the image will print.  Decrease the 

Inner setting to leave less unprinted area at the center.  Increase the Inner setting to leave more 
unprinted area at the center. 

You should never have the printer attempting to print off the 

printable surface.  This will leave unabsorbed ink on the disc.
