Primera Technology CD Color Printer II manual Calibrate, Using the CD Color Printer with Windows

Calibrate

Select this button to display options for fine-tuning the position of your printed image and the size of a CDÕs non-printable center. This button also allows you to calibrate the offset for bi- directional printing in the Draft Print Quality Mode. The following gives a complete description of each of the Calibration options.

IMPORTANT! The Image Placement values labeled on your printerÕs rear panel must be entered into the Vertical and Horizontal boxes prior to printing. These values have been optimized specifically for your printer and allow images to be centered on a CD when printed.

When facing the printer, the Vertical adjustment moves the printed image toward the printer if a positive number is entered and away from the printer if a negative number is entered. The Horizontal adjustment moves the printed image toward the left-hand side if a positive number is entered and toward the right-hand side if a negative number is entered. The Center Size adjustment enlarges the non-printable center if a positive number is entered and reduces its size if a negative number is entered. As a rule, an adjustment of 12 pixels is equivalent to approximately 1 millimeter. Once you have entered the optimum calibration values, you will most likely not need to change them again. The following diagram illustrates exactly how each of these adjustments affect the printed image.
