5.  Once processing is complete, the printer will begin to print.

Print time will vary depending on whether you are

printing with color or monochrome cartridges and on

which 

Print Quality

 setting you selected.  When printing is

complete, the Disc Tray will automatically open and

remain fully extended until the next print job is received.

D. CREATING A PRINT FILE (*.PRN)

If you are using the CD/DVD Printer 6 with a duplication

system, it may be necessary to print your image to a *.PRN file

on your hard drive. This is also useful for a print job that

doesn't change and has to be printed often. This is because a

print (*.PRN) file contains the bit-for-bit information that is to

be printed to the disc surface. 
A print file is created in most applications by selecting a Print

to File option in the Print Dialog Window. If your application

does not have a Print to File option, you must change the

printing port under the printer properties to set it to File rather

than a LPT or USB port. This is done as follows:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers.
2. Right-click the CD/DVD Printer 6 icon from the Printers

Folder and select properties.  

3. Select the ports tab and select the "File" option. 
You are now ready to create a print file. First, make certain you

have your driver properties (i.e. cartridge type, print

resolution, color matching, etc) set the way you want them.

Please note that a print file has all driver settings built into that

file at the time of creation.  Once this file is created it cannot be

changed. For example, if a print file was created with the

cartridge type set to color, you can only print using a color

cartridge.  If you change to a monochrome cartridge, the print

file will not work. You would have to recreate the print file

with the driver properties set to monochrome in order for it to

work properly.
