C. PRINTING A DISC

Now that you have hooked up the printer, loaded the print

supplies, and installed the printer driver, you are ready to print

your first disc.  Follow these steps to print your first image:
1.  Go to your favorite graphics application program. Or,

install and open the SureThing CD Labeler software

included with your printer.

2.  Open or create the image file you wish to print.  If using a

program other than the included Windows CD creation

software, you will need to create a custom page or canvas

size in your program according to the type of label you

intend to create.  The following tips will help you do this:
• If creating a label for a CD, set your page size to

119.7mm x 119.7mm.  Although your image will

appear square on screen, the printer driver will

automatically crop your image to the round shape of a

CD for printing.  The driver will also automatically

crop out the center 38.5mm of your image to

accommodate a CD’s non-printable center hub (more

or less if you change the center size in the Calibration

tab).  If you would like to better visualize where the

round outside edge and the round non-printable center

of a CD will fall in relation to your image, simply draw

one circle with a 119.7mm diameter and another with a

38.5mm diameter.  Then, center both circles within

your active page or canvas area.  These circles will

serve as a guide while designing your image.  Be sure

to delete these circles before printing.

3.  Once you have created your image and are ready to print,

select Print Setup (or the equivalent) from the program’s

File menu to verify that the printer driver settings are

correct for your image.  Be sure the proper Ink Cartridge

options are selected according to the supplies you have

installed in the printer.  Once the driver is set, select Print

from the program’s File menu.

4.  The printer driver will then begin to process the image.

Depending upon the size of the image and the processing

speed of your computer, processing time can take from

several seconds to a minute or so.
