16 Using the CD Color Printer Pro with Windows
NOTE:
Most applications allow you to change these same printer driver
options from their “Print” and/or “Printer Setup” screens. This
means that you don’t have to go back to the main printer setup
window each time you want to change a setting or option in the
printer driver. These applications will usually give you the same
choices and options, but in a slightly altered format. Most
applications do not save your printer driver option changes, but
instead only use your changes for the current image.
3. In Windows 2000/XP the Layout and Paper/Quality tabs
appear; the Advanced button contains more printer driver
settings. Although each printer driver displays the print
options in a slightly different format, the basic options are
the same. Refer to the remainder of this section for a
description of each printer driver option.
Media
The media option will be set to CD for printing onto printable
surface CDs, DVDs, and cardboard template CDs. When sizing
your images for printing, keep in mind that CD media has the
following maximum printable area: 4.567” round (116mm). In
the drop down Media Type menu you can also select Custom ,
which allows you to increase or decrease your imaging area with
maximum CD diameter of 4.724” (120 mm).
Ink Cartridge
Select Monochrome Black for black and white prints using the
black cartridge only. Select Color for the fastest full color
prints. Select Color + Black for 4-color CMYK prints.
Print Quality
Select the appropriate print quality option for your image.
Keep in mind that Fast 600 provides the lowest quality but
fastest print, and that Super Photo 2400 provides the highest
quality but slowest print. You may wish to experiment with
these options to see which one is best for your particular CD
media and print quality parameters.
Dither Mode
Select this option to choose the appropriate dither mode for
your image. Select Optimize for photos if printing a design
primarily composed of photographic images. Select Optimize
for graphics if mainly printing text, lines, and graphics.
