5.Along the Vertical axis of the printed CD template, find the number whose lines touch. For example, in the above illustration, the number would be -6. Enter that number into the Vertical box of the Calibration window. Repeat this same step for the Horizontal axis.

6.Select the OK button. The numbers you entered will stay the same until you change them. Your images should now be centered when printed on a CD.

The Calibration window also displays an Offset Calibration option which is selectable only when printing with the Draft Print Quality option selected. When printing in Draft quality, the printer will print on both the left and right cartridge movements. Although this is a very fast way to print, it can sometimes make your CD image appear uneven around the edges. To remedy this, the following procedure can be done to optimize Draft quality printing.

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

2.From the printer driver setup window, select the Ink Cartridge type you have installed (Color or Monochrome).

3.Select the Calibrate button, and click on the Offset CalibrationÕs Test Print button. The printer will begin printing a calibration test print.
