Epson PP-100 93

cCaution:

❏Make sure to set the inner diameter and the outer diameter within the areas shown above. Printing on sections outside the printable area may damage your CD/DVD drive.

❏The EPSON Total Disc Maker can set between inner diameter of 18 mm to outer diameter of 119.4 mm (0.71 to 4.70"). However, printing outside printable area (45 to 116 mm) may result in sticking. It is recommended to check the disc type before using.

When printing outside printable area (ink absorbing layer) of the disc is being used, ink printed outside the printable area does not fix. Check the label of the printable area of the disc being used before setting.

❏Precautions for setting the printable area

-Make sure that the printable area set does not exceed the printable area of the actual disc being used.

-Check whether coloration of print made on the rib (stack ring) is not uniform.

-Printing on the rib (stack ring) may cause ink sticking, disc sticking, and ink erasure after printing.

❏Measures to be taken when printing outside printable area

When printing inside the inner diameter results in ink sticking, disc sticking, and ink erasure, the following action can be taken to avoid that.

-Set Drying Time on the printer driver’s printer settings screen and print. Although throughput may be reduced, problems will be avoided or reduced since the disc will be ejected after a set time.

-Enable Publish after Mask Rib Area. If you print from another application, set from the user-defined label setting in the printer driver. If you print from the Total Disc Maker, set from Set Inner/Outer Diameter setting.
