Section 3: Creating Discs on a PC

There are two main components to creating discs, printing and burning. SureThing CD Labeler is used to design the printing on your discs. PTPublisher controls the recording and allows you to select the image to be printed to your discs. Both applications will be described in detail in this section.

A. TUTORIAL: COPY A CD OR DVD

Copy CD or Copy DVD can be used to copy any CD or DVD master. This project reads the master disc from the Disc Publisher drive to the hard drive of your computer. The master is stored in the Global Image format (*.gi) in a temporary location on your computer. PTPublisher uses this temporary file to make all subsequent copies that are requested. The master disc is read only once to create the initial temporary file.

Recommended for: All CD or DVD types (Audio CD, Data CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD+/-DL, etc.). This is best used for single runs where you will not need to make additional copies of the master disc a later time.

1.Select Copy Project from the Starter Window or the New Project Panel. A Copy Project sub menu will be displayed. Choose Copy CD or Copy DVD. Step one of the Copy Disc wizard will be displayed.

2.You will be prompted to place the disc you would

like to copy into the drive inside the Disc Publisher. The tray door will open automatically. Place the disc in the drive and click OK.
