Printing From Windows

Below are some general tips on using the printer with other applications.

To configure your application to print to the DiscPainter printer

Set up a paper size that matches the size of the disc you are using.

For example, if printing to a Standard (120 mm, 4.7") disc, set up a paper size of 120 mm wide and 120 mm high; if printing to a Mini (80 mm, 3.15") disc, set up a paper size of 80 mm wide and 80 mm high.

Set all the margins to 0.

By defining the appropriate paper size, your design will be centered on the paper.

Using Sample Files

Sample files for several popular graphics design programs are included in the Sample Files folder. These sample files contain the proper page settings for printing a CD/DVD design to the DiscPainter printer.

1From the application program, select Open from the File menu and navigate to the Sample Documents folder.

A blank document, pre-configured with the proper DiscPainter printer settings, is displayed.
