Printing Discs on a PC

Inner Diameter

This value changes the size of the non-printed center. Larger

numbers cause the non-printed center to be larger and smaller

numbers make the non-printed center smaller. This number is

incremented by 0.1mm so a change of 10 for inner diameter

changes the diameter by 1mm.

Inner Diameter Non-Printed Diameter

230 0.905" (22.0mm) (TuffCoatTM,  Default)
150 0.591" (15mm) (Physical Center)

Cartridge Alignment

The Cartridge Alignment prints a test print and then 

automatically scans the print to configure your printer for 

bidirectional printing and to align the color cartridge. It is

important to perform this calibration every time you change 

a cartridge. If you forget to perform this calibration you will 

be prompted to do so before your first print from the new 

cartridge.

Center The Print Image

NOTE:

Your printer comes from the factory pre-calibrated to print

the image in the center of the CD. You can use this adjustment if you

need to fine-tune this location.

If you ever wish to verify your factory-calibrated Vertical 

and Horizontal calibration settings, you can run a simple 

calibration procedure to assure that your images will be 

centered when printed on a CD. To do this, refer to the 

following steps:
1. Verify that a disc and a color ink cartridge are installed 

in the Publisher. It is important to use the same disc you

normally use for your publishing because different brands

of discs may vary slightly in size. Also, verify that the

Publisher is powered ON and that it is connected to your

computer.

2. Click on the 

Center the Print Image

and then the

Properties

button. The printer will begin printing the 

calibration test print.
