28 Creating Discs on a PC

If the Yellow, Magenta, Cyan or Black diagonal lines printed on

the disc show breaks, repeat the cleaning procedure. If nozzles

still appear to be clogged, remove the cartridge and gently

wipe the nozzle area sideways with a clean water-dampened

cloth. If after several cleanings a color still does not appear on

the test print, the cartridge may be damaged or empty and

may need to be replaced.
Select the

Change

button to install a fresh, new ink cartridge or

to switch back and forth between previously used cartridges.

After the cartridge has been replaced according to the

instructions on page 10, Step 3: Installing Ink Cartridges, select

either the

New Cartridge Installed

button or the

Old

Cartridge Installed

button accordingly. These selections are

necessary for the printer to accurately keep track of ink

cartridge ink levels.
Select the

Details

button for information on the drivers,

firmware, alignment and number of discs printed with

your Publisher.

Disc Output Location

This can be set either Normal (Left Bin acts as output), or

Kiosk (finished discs deposited out the Front Exit). The default

is Normal (Left Bin). Note that this will only have an effect

when doing printing only

−

this will have no affect when

recording and printing through PTPublisher. In PTPublisher

select

Options

from the Tools menu, then find the Options tab,

now check the Kiosk Mode box.

Enable Bi-di Printing

When enabled the Bravo will print bi-directional for faster

printing. The default is uni-directional printing. When you

enable bi-directional printing, you should perform the

Alignment Calibration described later in this section. Please

note that the calibration is stored on your computer, so if you

move to a new computer you must repeat the calibration.
