Taking a minute to make sure that your StudioJet™ autoprinter is setup properly will make operation smoother and more
enjoyable.
Location
Next, pick a well suited location to setup your duplicator. You should choose a level and stable work surface in an area
with good ventilation, moderate temperature and humidity, and access to a grounded power outlet.
Consider using an uninterruptible power supply with surge protection (UPS) to protect your duplicator.
A. Assembling Your StudioJet™
1. Mount the disc input spindles by screwing them into the base of the disc input hopper (see Figure 2.0).
2. Mount the disc output tray by sliding it into the lower right base of the printer stand (see Figure 2.1). You will feel
a slight click when the tray has been slid all the way into the printer base.
B. Connecting Power to Your StudioJet™
1. Connect the power cord to the AC power adapter brick.
2. Connect the small power connector to the back of the printer.
3. Connect the power cord to a grounded 110 power outlet. At this time the green LED on the front right of the print-
er will turn on indicating that the printer has power. You may also hear the printer fan running. This fan helps to keep
the printer cool and helps to clear the interior of the printer from ink spray.

Your StudioJet™ printer is equipped with an advanced disc printer driver with built in image masking which enables you to
print a perfectly round image from virtually any Windows application. This means that you do not need to worry about
cropping or modifying a photo or image to make it round.
First a few reminders about media and ink:
•Capacity: Your autoprinter can hold and print up to 50 discs before needing to be reloaded. You can send a print
job of more than 50 copies but you will need to reload the printer as it gets low on discs.
•Disc Quality: You should use high quality ink-jet printable media. Recordex recommends water proof ink-jet me-
dia by Kodak Media Products for best results. This media is available wherever you purchased your printer.
•Print Surface: Only use ink-jet printable media. Using non-inkjet printable media will create a mess of ink as the
ink will not be able to adhere to the disc surface.
•Ink Cartridges: Only use HP replacement ink cartridges for your StudioJet. Attempting to refill the ink cartridge is
highly discouraged. You will experience poor quality and may damage your printer. Refilled cartridges do not have
the same internal pressure as a new cartridge and there is a much greater chance that they will leak into your printer.
Check with your Recordex Dealer or local retailer for quality original HP Ink Cartridges.
Using Discus to Create A Label
Refer to the Discus user manual for how to use Discus to create an attractive disc label. You can access the manual by open-
ing Discus and then clicking on the Help Menu and choosing User Manual. (Figure 3.1)
The inside and outside diameter of the printable area of an inkjet printable discs often varies slightly from brand to brand.
For this reason it is sometimes necessary to print a sample disc and then make minor adjustments to the print settings. If you
are using Discus you should use the print tab to change these settings. If you are using another program to create your disc
label then you should refer to pages 17-21 for instructions on changing the print settings using the printer driver.
See the next page for instructions on using Discus to change the size of the print area.

Using Discus to Create A Label
(Figure 3.2).
Clicking Setup will open the printer dialog box. From here you can click Properties to enter the printer driver settings menu.
This is where you can select the print quality. For non-photo printing you will normally find Normal or Fast Normal to be
sufficient quality and this will save you ink. However, for best results when printing photos we recommend using water-
proof glossy inkjet media and setting the print quality to Best.
To print multiple copies you simple enter the number of copies you want to print in the printer dialog box and click print.
Your StudioJet™ will automatically load, print and eject however many discs you request to be printed.

Using Your Preferred Graphics Program to Create Disc Labels
Your StudioJet™ autoprinter is equipped with a special printer driver designed to automask an image for printing to discs.
You can modify the masking settings to enable printing to hub printable and non-hub printable inkjet discs. This section will
walk you through using your preferred graphics program to create a disc label.
Open your graphics program and select Page Setup from the File menu. First make sure that the StudioJet is the selected
printer.
In most cases you can select the paper type from a drop down box, if this is the case then 120mm disc should show up in
the drop down list. Selecting this will in most cases automatically enter the correct page size. If this does not work then you
can manually set the page size to the following settings:
Page Size: 5.33” Wide x 5.33” High
Next you will want to make sure that the printer margins are set correctly. Use these settings:
Margins: Set top, bottom, left and right margin to 0.3”
Create the document as you would normally do so and when you are finished print the document using the StudioJet printer
driver. You may want to print a single disc first to make sure that the image is aligned properly. If you need to change
the inside or outside diameter or the center offset (I.e. Move image up, down, left or right) then refer to Chapter 4: Printer
Driver Settings.
NOTE: Some applications will not properly retrieve the correct
page size from the printer driver. In these cases even when you select
120 mm disc as the paper type you will notice that the page size is still
8.5 x 11. If this is the case then you should still set the margins to .3 and
create your design in the upper left corner of the document. You can then
print to the StudioJet and your image should be properly aligned.

Accessing Printer Driver Preferences
Your StudioJet™ is pre-configured to be used
with standard size (120mm) inkjet printable discs.
You do not need to change the Size or Type options.
Print Quality
There are six print qualities settings:
Printer Default (which is set to Normal)
Fast Draft (Fastest print, lowest quality)
Fast Normal (Fast printing, good quality)
Normal (Quick printing, better quality)
Best (Slower printing, very high quality)
Maximum dpi (Slow printing, maximum quality)
Note, that as you increase print quality you increase
ink consumption and print time. Here is a list of our
recommended print quality settings based on the
type of image you are printing:
Text only - Try Fast Draft, or Fast Normal
Text with Small Graphic - Fast Normal
Text with Small Photo - Fast Normal or Normal
Large Graphic - Normal
Large Photo - Normal or Best
Orientation: This setting will not have an impact on
printing disc images since the medium is circular.
Page Order: If you are printing a multi page document
this will alter the order that the discs images are
printed.
Copies: Leave this set to 1 since you’ll want to use the
copies setting in the print dialog box when you print
from an application.
Advanced Features: You can alter the saturation level
by moving the slider from low to heavy. We do not
recommend making changes to the dry time setting.

Color Options
To print in grayscale without needing to alter
source images check Print in Grayscale.
NOTE: The Black print cartridge only option
will not work with the StudioJet™.
To print in sepia without altering the image just
check Print in sepia.
Advanced Color Settings...
This will open a menu that allows you to alter
ink saturation levels for each color. We
recommend leaving these values at their default
unless you are experienced in using alternate
ink saturation levels to achieve a desired
print result.
Color Space
sRGB/sYCC is the standard used for most
applications. If you are familiar with AdobeRGB
and know when it is applicable to use AdobeRGB
then feel free to change the color space setting
as necessary.
When Enable Masking is checked the printer driver
will automatically mask the print image so that nothing
prints outside the printable area of the disc.
Mask Type: Do not change this setting. The StudioJet
only prints to standard size discs.
Standard Area Settings: The default settings (118, 38)
are appropriate for standard inkjet discs. If your disc
has a slightly larger or small inside or outside
diameter you can change the settings here.
Hub Area Settings: Many users like to use discs with
printable hubs. These allow printing all the way to
the center of hole of the disc. If you check Printing
on Hub you will need to reduce the inner diameter
setting under Standard Area Settings to 35mm.
Mask Origin & Parameter Unit: Leave these set to
factory defaults (0,0, x1mm)
