The  Resolution setting should always be 
set at .1mm for best results. 
Alignment values will move the print 
image on the disc. 
The Outer and Inner Diameters will 
change the size of the area to be printed.  
To avoid excessive ink buildup, these 
values should never be set so that the GX-
1 Disc Publisher is printing off the media. 
If you have media with a printable inner 
hub separated from the rest of the disc by 
an unprintable ring, you can set the inner 
and outer hub diameters appropriately.  If 
you are using media with a continuous 
print surface, the Print on Hub setting 
should not be checked. 
Ink Level 
The Ink Levels show how much remains of all 3 colors, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. 
NOTE: If you place a used cartridge in the GX-1, the ink level may not be reported correctly.  If the 
GX-1 can identify the cartridge, it may report the correct ink levels; if not, it will assume that the ink 
cartridge is new and will show ink levels of 100%. 
Before each disc is printed, the ink levels are checked.  If the level of any one color is has reached 
10%, a warning message will be displayed on your PC and printing will be temporarily suspended.  
You can either change the cartridge at this point and click OK, or click OK to continue printing using 
the same cartridge.   
If you continue with the same cartridge, printing will continue uninterrupted until the ink level reaches 
5%.  The low ink level warning will be displayed once more.  Again, either change the cartridge or 
continue.   
Once the ink level reaches 3% or less, the warning will be displayed before each print. 
It is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridge at this point.
