Printing on DVD/CDs

Content Id: 8200131900


The CD-R Tray (supplied) allows the printing of images on DVD/CDs (printable discs). This section describes preparation for printing on DVD/CDs, and how to use the CD-R Tray.

Caution

The printing quality on DVD/CDs may vary depending on the media you use.

Items to Prepare

The following items are needed to print on DVD/CDs:

(A) CD-R Tray

"F" is on the upper side.

(B) 8 cm CD-R Adapter

Needed only when printing on 8 cm DVD/CDs.
Attached to the CD-R Tray when shipped.

Caution

You cannot print on 8 cm printable DVD/CDs in the DVD/CD print mode.

Printable DVD/CDs

Obtain a 12 cm or 8 cm DVD/CD with a label surface compatible with ink-jet printing.

A "printable disc" differs from regular DVD/CDs in that its label surface has been specially processed to be printed on by an ink-jet printer.

Cautions When Printing on DVD/CDs

Be sure to use the CD-R Tray which is supplied with this machine. It has an "F" on the upper side.
Do not print on DVD/CDs that are not compatible with ink-jet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices that the disc is loaded onto.
Do not print on the DVD/CDs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on DVD/CDs unreadable.
Hold DVD/CDs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
Remove any dirt from the CD-R Tray before placing DVD/CDs on the CD-R Tray. Loading discs in a dirty CD-R Tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
Do not attach the CD-R Tray while the machine is in operation (while the Power lamp is flashing green).
Do not remove the CD-R Tray while printing on DVD/CDs. Doing so may damage the machine, the CD-R Tray, or the disc.
Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the CD-R Tray. The machine may not be able to recognize loading of the DVD/CD, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the CD-R Tray become dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
The CD-R Tray may become dirty if software other than CD-LabelPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
Always use the supplied 8 cm CD-R Adapter when printing on 8 cm DVD/CDs.
Always close the Inner Cover after printing on DVD/CDs.

Attaching/Removing the CD-R Tray
