Printing Discs on a PC

D. USING KIOSK MODE

Kiosk Mode

 allows you to use both of Printer's Bins as input,

doubling your disc capacity from 50 discs to 100 discs. In this

mode, the finished discs will be deposited out through the

front "reject area" of the Printer. In Kiosk mode all discs would

be ejected in this manner. Rejects can be identified in the 

stack because they will not be printed in the same manner as

successfully recorded discs. Refer to the Kiosk Kit installation

instructions below. 

Attach the Output Bin

Holder as shown,

aligning the 

Locating

Tabs

on the Output

Bin Holder with the

Slots

located on the

underside of the

Printer allowing the

holder to hang off the

edge of the table.

Notice the slots do

allow for adjusting

the position of the 

output bin. If your

discs are not falling

into the bin, you will

be able to move the

bin slightly to align it.

Place the Output Bin

on the Output Bin

Holder as shown.
