Ink Saturation

This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image. When printing onto the printer manufacturerÕs TuffCoat CD media, this option should be left at its default setting of 100%. When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media. Click and drag on the slideÕs box, or click on the left and right arrows to change the ink saturation setting. Moving the slideÕs box to the left reduces the overall ink saturation, while moving it to the right increases it.

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.

Orientation

Select either Portrait or Landscape according to the orientation of your jewel case booklet/insert design. An icon illustrating each orientation helps your remember the difference between the two. This option does not apply when printing onto a CD.

Enlarge/reduce

This option alters the size of the printed image between the integers of 25% and 400%. A setting of 100% indicates the document will be printed at actual size. Please note that significantly enlarging or reducing the image may cause the image to appear pixelated or ÒjaggyÓ when printed.
