Printing on CDs and DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics, and photos directly on an ink jet-printable CD or DVD. The Epson Print CD software makes it easy to import your own photos, add text, and modify your designs with a variety of special effects. For detailed instructions on printing, see the on-screen User’s Guide. You can print on both regular 12-cm and

8-cm mini CDs and DVDs.

Caution:

Use only one ink jet-printable CD or DVD at a time. Thermal-printable and regular CDs and DVDs should not be used with this printer; otherwise the ink may smear.

Do not turn the printer on or off with a CD or DVD inserted.

Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause errors when you burn the data.

Before you insert a CD or DVD, make sure the printer is turned on. Otherwise, the disc may not be positioned correctly. Then follow these steps:

1. Open the front cover.

2. Lift the front tray up with both hands, then pull it out of the paper position (lower notches).

3. Set the front tray in the CD/DVD position (upper notches).

4. Place the CD or DVD on the CD/DVD tray with the white or printable side face- up. Make sure the disc lies flat in the tray.

Caution:

Before you position the CD or DVD, make sure that no dust or dirt is on the CD/DVD tray, as this may damage the disc’s data side.

Be sure to use the CD/DVD tray provided with this printer. If you use another CD/DVD tray, your CD or DVD may not print correctly.
