Ink Saturation

This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image. When printing onto the printer manufacturer’s TuffCoat CD media, this option can be left at its default setting of 50%.

When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media. Click and drag on the slide’s box, or click on the left and right arrows to change the ink saturation setting. Moving the slide’s box to the left reduces the overall ink saturation, while moving it to the right increases it.

Manual Load

Select this option when you are printing multiple copies of a single design or if using an auto-loader. If you do not select this option when printing multiple copies, the printer has no way of knowing whether or not you have loaded a blank CD and will print each of the selected number of copies onto the same CD. When this option is selected, you must press the CD Tray button after each new CD blank is loaded. This will close the CD Tray and let the printer know that a fresh CD is installed and ready to be printed.

Write Direct to Port

Select this option to provide faster print processing if printing from Windows 95/98. When selected, this option allows the printer driver to bypass the Windows 95/98 print manager and to send all print data directly to the printer. This option devotes all of your system resources to the current print job, thereby increasing overall print speed. When the print job is finished, your system resources will again be devoted to the normal function of your on-screen applications.

Depending upon the brand of your computer, you may or may not wish to select this option when printing. For most computers, selecting this option will enhance the rasterizing and printing process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port option should be selected. For some computers, however, this option may not be supported by the particular brand of PC and should not be selected.
