To select the ink density

From the Print dialog box, select the setting that you want to use from the Ink Density drop- down list.

You might find that you prefer settings other than those recommended. Select a finish (matte, glossy, or color) that matches your disc. If the results are not what you expected, try printing with a different ink density setting.

Controlling Disc Settings

As with any other printer, the paper size selected determines the area to be printed. Before printing, you must make sure that the Paper Size selected matches the disc that you are going to print on. Four paper sizes are pre-defined for the printer:

Standard (120 mm) Hub Printable

Standard (120 mm) Non-Hub Printable

Mini (80 mm) Hub Printable

Mini (80 mm) Non-Hub Printable

Default Inside Diameter and Outside Diameter values are assigned to each of the paper size options. However, you can change these values if you need to expand or reduce the printable area on the disc (see "Customizing the Inner and Outer Diameter" on page 12 for information).

To select the disc setting
