4Applying Power
NOTE: Your Printer can print directly onto virtually any
brand of inkjet printable-surface CD/DVD media.
However, different brands of discs have different
printable coatings. Because of this, you may
need to adjust the printer driver settings to
accommodate your specific brand of CD/DVD
media. Refer to Section 3 in the manual for further
printer driver information.
Due to the wide variety of printable-surface
CD/DVD media, you may find that certain
brands of discs provide higher print quality
than others. For maximum print quality, use
CD/DVD media authorized by Primera.
Refer to the following steps when loading
discs in to the Printer:
•Open the front cover of the Printer
•The Printer will automatically position
the cartridge carrier and Robotic Disc
Transporter to the center position
allowing for easy access to the bins.
•Load the Input Bin (the bin located on the
right-hand side of the Printer) with up to
50 blank discs and place the bins on the
mounting pegs.
