System Description

Thank you for purchasing the

TEAC PIJ FlashJet 4800 CD/DVD Disc Inkjet Printer

.

(Hereinafter, FlashJet 4800 printer).

At this time, the

FlashJet 4800

CD/DVD Printer is only being supported to operate with the

TEAC

Autoloader Systems equipped with TrueNet Networking Software. As soon as we

complete the development of our custom FlashJet Printer Driver we will support the use of

this Printer as a Windows 2000 and XP peripheral, on non-networked

TEAC

Autoloader

Systems. Contact your dealer, distributor, or

TEAC

for FlashJet Printer Driver availability

information.

Your new

FlashJet 4800

CD/DVD Printer incorporates a commercial grade HP print engine.

It provides outstanding color or black and white printing on CD/DVD discs intended for

use with inkjet printers. Unlike many competitive CD/DVD disc printers your

TEAC

FlashJet 4800

uses standard HP #56, #57, and #58 print cartridges which are available

from your local office supply store. You do not have to pay a premium for private labeled
ink cartridges!

CD/DVD labels can be created using virtually any graphics program that can output a

JPEG file. You will have to set the page size and label image location properly. You may

print CD/DVD labels either before or after duplication, but we recommend printing after
duplication. Remember, you can only print on CDs or DVDs intended for inkjet printing.

We strongly discourage using adhesive labels on non-printable CD/DVD discs with the

FlashJet 4800 Printer, or any other

TEAC

printing or duplication equipment. Damage

caused by using adhesive labels will not be covered under warranty.

You can use existing CD/DVD label files with your new

FlashJet 4800

CD/DVD Disc Printer

as long as they can be converted to JPEG files. The JPEG files are processed through our

TrueNet Networking Software to create an appropriate *.prn file. You can not use label

your

manual for additional details.

TEAC

TrueNet Networking Software provides a number of unique advantages for the

creation and use of CD/DVD disc labels. A basic label editor is built in for users who do

not have dedicated CD/DVD Disc Label Software, or a preferred graphic program. Label

files can be stored as *.prn files ripped for a specific printer, stored as an*.rpt (

TrueNet

Print Template) file that is not printer specific, or ripped for the printer on the target
duplication system without being stored. You do not have to specify which printer is on a

given

TEAC

Autoloader System. TrueNet will automatically create the proper *.prn file

when the job is assigned to a duplication system.
