4. After printing is completed, find the line that is the
straightest, and enter the number next to this line in the
Offset box.
5. Select the OK button. The number you entered will stay the
same until you change it. Printing should now be optimized
for Draft quality. Note that it is recommended you repeat
this procedure every time a new or different ink cartridge is
inserted whenever you are printing in Draft quality.
After your selections have been made, close out of the printer
setup window. You are now ready to go to an application
program and print. All printer driver selections will stay the
same until you change them.
E. PRINTING A CD
Now that you have hooked up the printer, loaded the print
supplies, and installed the printer driver, you are ready to print
you first CD label. Follow these steps to print your first image:
1. Go to your favorite graphics application program. Or, install
and open the Windows CD creation software included with
your printer.
2. Open or create the image file you wish to print. If using a
program other than the included Windows CD creation
software, you will need to create a custom page or canvas
size in your program according to the type of label you
intend to create. The following tips will help you do this:
¥ If creating a label for a CD, set your page size to 4.56Ó x
4.56Ó (116 x 116mm). Although your image will appear
square on screen, the printer driver will automatically
crop your image to the round shape of a CD for
printing. The driver will also automatically crop out the
center 1.6Ó (41mm) of your image to accommodate a
CDÕs non-printable center hub. If you would like to
better visualize where the round outside edge and the
round non-printable center of a CD will fall in relation to
your image, simply draw one circle with a 4.56Ó
(116mm) diameter and another with a
1.6Ó (41mm) diameter. Then, center both circles within
your active page or canvas area. These circles will serve
as a guide while designing your image. Be sure to delete
these circles before printing.
