Centering the image on the disc

The Rimage 2000i provides two ways to center the image on the disc. You can use the Auto Centering method or the Manual Centering method. This process describes both processes. The Auto Centering method is accurate to within +/- 0.5 mm. You can improve the centering position accuracy with the manual centering adjustment to better than +/- 0.2 mm. For optimal print quality, use this procedure to center the image on the disc.
