The Microboards PF-3 Print Factory includes the ability to mask the print image
diameters to ensure that your media is not being printed outside of the printable
surface.  While SureThing Disc Labeling software creates circular templates 120mm
in diameter, other applications may not limit the design to the correct size.

The default Inner Diameter setting is 360 (36mm).  If you are using a print template
with an inner hub of less than 36mm, you must change the Inner Diameter setting
to match that of the template for the image to print correctly.

To change the Diameter settings, please follow these steps:

1.

Access the Printing Preferences for the Microboards PF3.  How this is done

will depend on the Operating System and the currently selected Start Menu
layout.

In Windows Vista, select the Control Panel from the Start button.  Once the
Control Panel opens, select Printer from the Hardware and Sound section.

In Windows 2000 or Windows XP with the Classic Start Menu layout, you will
need to go to the Settings selection, then to the Printers and Faxes from the
Start button.  Right-click the Microboards PF3 and select Printing Preferences.

In the Windows XP Start Menu layout, select Printers and Faxes from the
Windows Start button.

2.

Click the 

tab.

3.

Verify that the 

 option is checked.

The first Microboards PF3
Series printer will have this
option checked by default; any
subsequent printer installed will
not have this option checked.

4.

The 

 setting

will define where the masking
clips the outer edge of the print image.  In the example shown below, the image
will print to the default diameter of 118mm (the Parameter Unit is set to 0.1mm).

The 

 setting will define how far towards the center of the disc

the image will print.  This setting will need to be changed when printing to hub-
printable media.  The default of 36mm diameter of unprinted area is shown
below.

5.

Click the Apply button to save the changes.

As is true with all printers, the quality of ink cartridge and the quality of the ink
within the cartridge will affect your output.  To ensure quality results, the PF-3
Print Factory will not operate with any other ink cartridges in place.

In order to guarantee quality results from the PF-3 Print Factory,

Your PF-3 Print Factory has been factory aligned to .1mm precision.  Fine tuning
may be required depending on the media brand and printable surface type you are
using to provide full surface coverage.

 should always be selected when aligning the printer, in

order to insure the greatest accuracy during the alignment process.  Other
settings may not result in the best alignment.

4.

Select the Alignment tab.  The  

Resolution setting must be selected
before setting alignment values (see
below).  Set the Top and Left Side
alignment values to those required for
image alignment.

These settings will change the size of the top and left margins, respectively.
Decreasing the values will move the image up or to the left, increasing  will
adjust down or to the right.

Click the Apply button to save the changes, found on the bottom of the Printing

Verify the alignment by printing a full disc image on the media.  Repeat these

steps if further alignment adjustments are required.
