If you have just unboxed your new printer and are using it for the first time, you should run a simple calibration procedure to assure that your images will be centered when printed on a CD. To calibrate your printer, refer to the following steps:

1.Verify that a cardboard CD template and a color ink cartridge are installed in the printer. Also, verify that the printer is powered ON and that it is connected to your computer.

2.Click on the Test Print button of the Printing Position Calibration window. The printer will begin printing the calibration test print.

3.When the print is complete, rotate the CD template 180¼ in the CD Tray and repeat step 2 using the same

CD template.

4.When the second run of the print is compete, you should have a test print that looks like the following:
