Installing Ink Cartridges
Supported Ink Cartridges
The PF-3 Print Factory uses 1 tri-color ink cartridge and 1 black ink cartridge. The part numbers for
these cartridges are V102C (color) and V101B (black). If other cartridges are installed, the PF-3 Print
Factory will not function. These cartridges are available from any Microboards reseller.
Refill kits or non-Microboards ink cartridges are not recommended for use in the PF-3 Print
Factory system. Use of non-Microboards cartridges will cause the printer to fail. Use of
refilled cartridges may cause the PF-3 Print Factory to fail and may affect your warranty.
Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges
Cartridges can be changed while the PF-3 Print Factory is on. The Out of Ink LED will light if any
cartridge is beginning to run low on ink.
•With the printer on, open the front cover and wait for the print carriage to move to the center
of the printer.
•Lift the cartridge latch by lifting the center of the front of the latch.
•If replacing an empty ink cartridge, remove the cartridge that needs changing by sliding the
cartridge towards the front of the Printer.
•Remove each new print cartridge to be installed from its packaging.
•Remove the protective covering from the printheads before installing the cartridges.
•Slide the correct ink cartridge into the correct slot – color on the left, black on the right.
•Lower the cartridge latch until it locks into place by applying gentle pressure to the finger
depression. Do not try to force the latch down.
•Close the front cover.
Any time you change ink cartridges, you should always wait until the printer has primed the
cartridges before sending it a print job. The priming cycle will take 70-80 seconds to complete
after the door is closed.
Lowering the Cartridge Latch
The latch on the right in is the
correct position. The left latch is
being closed.
Inserting or Removing a Cartridge
After lifting the cartridge latch,
slide the cartridge back to insert,
or forward to remove.

Replacing Empty Ink Cartridges
The PF-3 Print Factory will notify you when either cartridge is completely empty. Since the current
print job will be cancelled at that point, it is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridges
when you are notified that they are low rather than waiting until they are empty.
Since the PF-3 Print Factory is designed for unattended operation, however, this may not always be
possible. If you see the Out of Ink message on your PC, please perform these steps:
1. Open the front door of the PF-3 Print Factory.
2. When the carriage moves to center, remove the ink cartridge specified in the message.
3. Replace the cartridge and close the front door.
4. Press the Cancel button on the front printer control panel.
5. Wait for the printer to prime the cartridge. The priming cycle will
take approximately 70-80 seconds to complete. Do not perform the
next step until the priming cycle completes.
6. After the disc ejects, click the OK button on the Out of Ink message.
Any time you change ink cartridges, you should always wait until the printer has primed the
cartridges before sending it a print job. The priming cycle will take 70-80 seconds to complete
after the door is closed.

Color Tab
Color Options
The Color Options settings allow you to Print in
grayscale or Print in sepia.
If grayscale is selected, the High Quality and
Black print cartridge only options are enabled.
High Quality will use the color cartridges to create a
composite black.
Only one of these options can be selected at one
time.
Color Space
The Color Space selection defines the range of colors that
can be printed. sRGB/sYCC will be the setting selected
unless your image specifically was created using the
AdobeRGB standard.
Diameter Settings Tab
The Diameter Settings tab allows you to change
the size of the print image to accommodate the
variety of printable surface area available on
media without having to modify the print image
itself. Moving from non-hub printable media to
hub-printable media, for instance, would only
require that you lower the Inner Diameter setting.
The Enable Masking option must be checked to
use this feature.
The Outer and Inner Diameters will change the
size of the area to be printed. To avoid
excessive ink buildup, these values should never
be set so that the PF-3 Print Factory is printing
off the media.
The Parameter Unit should remain on the 0.1mm setting for maximum precision.
The default diameter settings are a 118mm Outer Diameter and a 36mm Inner Diameter. If you are
using hub-printable media and the 17mm inner diameter SureThing template, the inner diameter must
be changed to the appropriate diameter before printing.
NOTE: Masking should always be enabled to avoid printing off the printable surface.

•Assembly and Installation
14
Ink Tab
The Ink tab provides you with the approximate remaining Ink Levels as a percentage of the full
cartridge capacity. These are approximations only, and are based on the assumption that the
cartridges were full when installed in the printer.
The Color Ink percentage is based on the lowest remaining of the 3 colors.
To view the approximate levels of each individual color, click the Advanced
Ink Levels button. The individual color levels are only updated at the
beginning or end of a print job; if you are printing a large number of discs, the
overall Color Ink level on the main tab is a better indication of the true ink
level remaining.
Also on the Ink tab are the Ink Cartridge Replacement model numbers.
Alignment Tab
The Alignment tab allows you to change the printer alignment.
Alignment
The Resolution setting will specify whether the alignment
values are measured in 1mm or 0.1mm increments. The
0.1mm setting is more precise and should always be used.
The Alignment values will move the print image on the disc.
Increasing the Top alignment value will move the print image down on the disc, while decreasing it
will move the image up on the disc. Increasing the Left alignment value will move the print image to
the right on the disc, while decreasing it will move the image left.
Use the accompanying graphic on the Alignment
tab as a guide for what needs to be done if the
image is not centered.
About Tab
The About tab provides you with contact information for the worldwide Microboards offices.

The Microboards Printer
Toolbox
To access the Microboards Toolbox, double-click the
toolbox icon located in the tool tray.
Select the Microboards PF3 and click the buttons to
access a particular maintenance function of the
Toolbox for the selected printer.
The Toolbox should be left running at all times in order
to provide you with low ink warnings. Warnings will still
be provided with the toolbox minimized.
Cleaning
The printheads may require cleaning if the printed images show streaks of color. This may occur if
the Print Factory has been idle for an extended period of time.
There are 3 levels of cleaning available: Wipe and Spit, Clean, and Super Clean.
Wipe and Spit is a low-level cleaning, using the least ink and taking the least amount of time to
complete. Clean uses more ink and takes more time. Super Clean uses the most ink and takes the
longest time to complete.
After each of the cleanings, a disc will be printed to verify the cleaning results.
Running this process more than once may be required if the quality does not improve after cleaning
one time.
Pen Calibration
The print pens may occasionally need calibration.
You will need to have blank discs loaded in the
input hopper for this process.
Press the Pen Calibration button. A disc will
print with 4 sets of numbered lines – Black to
Color Horizontal, Black to Color Vertical, Black
bidi Alignment, and Color bidi Alignment.
Position the 4 slide bars in the window shown to
the right based on the line number that has the
best alignment in each of the 4 printed sets.
Click OK when complete. The patterns will be
printed again using the entered pen alignment
values.
This procedure should not be a regular necessity.

•Using SureThing Disc Labeler
16
Automatic Margin Calibration
If the alignment of the discs is severely out of position, use this button to have the printer find the
location of the media.
Place an unprinted disc in the input hopper. Use the same media normally used during printing to
ensure a better calibration.
Press the Automatic Margin Calibration button. The disc will load and the print carriage will first
find the top and bottom of the disc. Next, the disc will move backwards half the diameter of the media
and the left and right sides will be located. The side location will be performed 3 times before the disc
is ejected out the front.
NOTE: The Margin Calibration is not intended to eliminate the Alignment values on the
Printing Preferences Alignment tab. You may need to fine-tune the image position by
using the Alignment values after the margin calibration is complete.
Print Test Disc
Load an unprinted disc in the input hopper prior to clicking this button to print a Test Disc image.
Exercise Belt
This utility should be run if the printer has been idle for an extended period of time, and can be run
multiple times if necessary. The belts will run at high speed for a period of time to recondition the
belts. It is not necessary to load any media for this utility.
Using SureThing Disc Labeler
SureThing Disc Labeler is included with the PF-3 Print Factory and will be installed during the PF-3
Installation. For more information on using SureThing, please refer to the SureThing Help menu.
Creating New Labels
Any label you create in SureThing must use the Microboards template to print correctly.
1. To create a new label, either click New Project in the Action window on the left, or select New
from the File menu.
2. Click the Select Label button on the
lower left corner of the dialog to view the
available label templates if the dialog
does not appear as shown to the right.
3. Highlight CD/DVD Printers in the Media
Type column.
4. Highlight Microboards in the center
Manufacturer column.
5. Select from the options listed in the Label
Type column.
We recommend that you use the 17mm inner hole template to ensure that your image will
fully cover the printable surface on both hub printable and non-hub printable media,
adjusting the Diameter Settings when changing between media types (see page 14).
6. Click OK to begin designing the label.
Printing Labels
Select Print from the File menu while the label you want to print is open. Be sure that
you have selected the Microboards PF3 and that CD/DVD Printer is selected in the
Print Using field before clicking the Print button.
If you are printing more than one copy of a label, enter in the number you wish to print before clicking
the Print button.

If media is in the input hopper, unload all discs. Reload the media according
to the instructions on page 7 and press the Out of Media indicator.
Gaps or Overlap in Ink Coverage
There are 2 possible causes:
1. If there are gaps or overlaps when printing, you may be printing Text & Graphics mode.
Change Mode to Photo. See page 12 for details.
2. The print pens may need to be recalibrated. Please refer to page 13 for details.
Printing off the Printable Surface
If the print image is printing off the printable surface of the media, there are 2 possible causes:
1. The printer is not aligned correctly. See page 14 for details.
2. Masking has been disabled, or the diameters are incorrect. See page 14 for details.
“No Printers Connected” Message
The Microboards Printer Toolbox did not detect a connected printer. Verify that the PF-3 Print
Factory is connected and powered on. You may need to reboot your PC.
Low Ink Warning
You will be provided with a warning when either of the ink cartridges is running low. Check the Ink
tab in the Printer Preferences to determine which cartridge is running low. When the estimated ink
level reaches 0%, a message warning you that the ink cartridge is empty will appear.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridge when the warning indicates the ink
level is at 0%. Continuing to run the PF-3 Print Factory with an empty cartridge may damage
the printer.
If you notice poor ink quality or a missing color in your prints at any time, replace the ink cartridge.
See pages 8-9 for details.

•Troubleshooting
20
Out of Ink Message
If you do not change the cartridge when the Low Ink warnings first appear, you will run the risk of
draining the cartridge completely, affecting print quality and potentially damaging the printer. The Out
of Ink message will appear when the ink levels of specified the cartridge can no longer be safely
used.
It is strongly recommended that you do not wait for the ink to be completely drained. You
should change the cartridges when or shortly after the Low Ink warning appears.
When the Out of Ink message appears, the current print job will be cancelled. At that point, please
follow the steps below, in the order in which they are listed:
1. Open the front door of the PF-3 Print Factory.
2. When the carriage moves to center, remove the ink cartridge specified in the message.
3. Replace the cartridge and close the front door.
4. Press the Cancel button on the front printer control panel.
5. Wait for the printer to prime the cartridge. The priming cycle will
take approximately 70-80 seconds to complete. Do not perform the
next step until the priming cycle completes.
6. After the disc ejects, click the OK button on the Out of Ink message.
If you do not wait for the cartridge priming cycle to complete and you have additional print jobs waiting
in the print queue, you may have to clear the print queue before the printer will respond. During the
PF-3 installation, a shortcut to a utility to clear the print queue was added to your PC. Please note
that this utility will clear all print jobs currently in the print queue for any printer.
To run the utility, click the Start button and select either Programs or All Programs, depending on the
Operating System and the Start Button behavior. Click the Microboards entry, then PF-3 Print
Factory. Click the Print Queue Utility shortcut in the Toolbox directory. After the utility opens, click
the Clear Print Queue button to remove all pending print jobs on your PC. The queue will clear in
approximately 10 seconds; when it is complete, you can begin printing again.
