Manual Load

Select this option when you are printing multiple copies of a single design or if using an auto-loader. If you do not select this option when printing multiple copies, the printer has no way of knowing whether or not you have loaded a blank CD and will print each of the selected number of copies onto the same CD. When this option is selected, you must press the CD Tray button after each new CD blank is loaded. This will close the CD Tray and let the printer know that a fresh CD is installed and ready to be printed.

Write Direct to Port

Select this option to provide faster print processing if printing from Windows 3.1x. When selected, this option allows the printer driver to bypass the Windows 3.1x print manager and to send all print data directly to the printer. This option devotes all of your system resources to the current print job, thereby increasing overall print speed. When the print job is finished, your system resources will again be devoted to the normal function of your on-screen applications.

Depending upon the brand of your computer, you may or may not wish to select this option when printing. For most computers, selecting this option will enhance the rasterizing and printing process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port option should be selected. For some computers, however, this option may not be supported by the particular brand of PC and should not be selected.

Fast 32-bit Spooler

Select this option for consistently faster print processing under Windows 95/98. This option is only selectable if operating under Windows 95/98 and if the included 32-Bit Print Spooler software has been installed. When selected, this option allows the printer driver to send all print jobs to the 32-Bit Print Spooler rather than to the Windows system print spooler. See Part C of this section for complete details on the 32-Bit Print Spooler. This option and the 32-Bit Print Spooler software will not function in Windows 3.1x or Windows NT.
