•
The product supports discs for inkjet printers. It does not support discs for thermal
transfer printers.
•
Glossy discs other than EPSON specified CDs/DVDs are not supported.
•
80-mm discs are not supported.
•
Do not use discs that have lens cleaner, labels or stickers, or condensation on them.
Doing so may result in an malfunction or failure.

Do not use a cracked, warped, or deformed disc. The disc may break into pieces inside
the product, resulting in a malfunction, or an injury when the disc is taken out.
•
With some discs, ink may get on the recording surface if the discs are stacked
immediately after printing. We recommend using a disc you do not need to do a test
print to check the print quality. Wait at least 24 hours before checking the color.
•
With some discs, the printing position may be shifted. Perform the print head alignment
and the printing position correction. (See
“Aligning the Print Head” on page 90
and
“Correcting the Printing Position” on page 93
.)
•
If you use discs with a small stack ring (concentric circular projection), the discs may
stick to each other before or after printing.
•
Even if the same data is printed on identical discs, the same print results may not be
able to be achieved because of the individual differences (variations) of each disc.
Disc quality may affect print quality. We recommend using EPSON specified CDs/DVDs.
Epson offers specified CD-R and DVD-R discs for all your printing needs.
