Printing and Other Operations

Printing a Label

Perform the steps below to print label data on the printer.

Important!

See the separate “Quick Start Guide” sheet for important information about printing conditions.

This printer supports printing on 12cm diameter discs only. Attempting to print on a CD-R single or on a business card CD-R can result in damage to the printer.

We recommend that you use this product for printing on blank, unrecorded media. Printing on media that already had data recorded on it may cause the data to become corrupted.

Check the following points before you start to print.

Make sure the printer is plugged into a power outlet and connected to your computer (page 21).

Make sure an ink ribbon cassette is loaded in the printer (page 23).
