Loading Media (Discs)
Note on Media:
Your Disc Publisher can print
directly onto virtually any brand of printable-surface CD/DVD media. However, different brands of
discs have different printable coatings. Because of
this, you may need to adjust the printer driver settings to accommodate your specific brand of
CD/DVD media. Refer to Section 3A or 4E for further printer driver information.
Due to the wide variety of printable-surface
CD/DVD media, you may find that certain brands
of discs provide higher print quality than others.
For maximum print quality, use CD/DVD media
authorized by Primera.
Refer to the following steps when loading
discs in to the Disc Publisher:
• Open the front cover of the Disc Publisher
• The Disc Publisher will automatically position the cartridge carrier and Robotic Disc
Transporter to the center position allowing
for easy access to the bins.
• Load the Input
Bin (the bin
located on the
right-hand side
of the Disc
Publisher) with
25 blank discs
and place the
bins on the
mounting pegs.
Note:
Bins are located inside the Cardboard
Insert!
