design in many popular file formats. The Help file

fy the standard

on your disc, it is time to select the information you

copy. Refer to the PrimoDVD help file for more

4Applying Power
NOTE: Your Publisher 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 User’s 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 Publisher:
•Open the front cover of the Publisher
•The Publisher 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 Publisher) with up
to 50 blank discs and place the bins on the
mounting pegs.
