When facing the printer, the Vertical adjustment moves the printed image toward the back of the printer if a positive number is entered and toward the front of the printer if a negative number is entered. The Horizontal adjustment moves the printed image toward the left-hand side if a positive number is entered and toward the right-hand side if a negative number is entered.

The Center Size adjustment enlarges the non-printable center if a positive number is entered and reduces its size if a negative number is entered. As a rule, an adjustment of 12 pixels is equivalent to approximately 1 millimeter. Once you have entered the optimum calibration values, you will most likely not need to change them again. The following diagram illustrates exactly how each of these adjustments affect the printed image.

If you ever wish to verify your factory-recommended Vertical and Horizontal calibration settings, you can run a simple calibration procedure to assure that your images will be centered when printed on a CD. To do this, 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 cardboard CD template 180° in the CD Tray and repeat step 2

using the same CD template.
