3.Press and release the CD Tray button to close the CD Tray. If you wish, you may also leave the CD Tray open and it will automatically close at the start of the print job. Once printing is complete, the CD Tray will automatically re-open.

In order for the printer to print properly, CD media must be installed. If you accidentally attempt to print without installing any media, the CD Tray will open and the printer will pause until media is loaded and the CD Tray is closed. When closing the CD Tray, do not manually push on the front of the tray to

close it. Instead, always press the CD Tray button to open or close the CD Tray.

IMPORTANT! After you have loaded the CD media, you must also select the appropriate Media option from within the printer driver setup window. Please refer to Section 3 or 4 for more information on selecting printer driver settings.
