Using the CD Color Printer III with Macintosh 35
• If creating a label for a CD, set your page size to 4.567”
x 4.567” (116 x 116mm). Although your image will
appear square on screen, the printer driver will
automatically crop your image to the round shape of a
CD for printing. The driver will also automatically
crop out the center 1.6” (41mm) of your image to
accommodate a CD’s non-printable center hub. If you
would like to better visualize where the round outside
edge and the round non-printable center of a CD will
fall in relation to your image, simply draw one circle
with a 4.567” (116mm) diameter and another with a
1.6” (41mm) diameter. Then, center both circles within
your active page or canvas area. These circles will
serve as a guide while designing your image. Be sure
to delete these circles before printing.
3. Once you have created your image and are ready to print,
select Page Setup (or the equivalent) from the program’s
File menu to verify that the printer driver settings are
correct for your image. Be sure the proper Ink Cartridge
options is selected according to the supplies you have
installed in the printer. Once the driver is set, select Print
from the program’s File menu.
4. The printer driver will then begin to process the image.
Depending upon the size of the image and the processing
speed of your computer, processing time can take from
several seconds to a few minutes.
5. Once processing is complete, the printer will begin to print.
Print time will vary depending on whether you are
printing with a color or monochrome cartridge and on
which Print Quality setting you selected. When printing is
complete, the CD Tray will automatically open and remain
fully extended until the next print job is received.
