C. USING OTHER GRAPHICS PROGRAMS

While SureThing will handle most labeling needs, some people

prefer to use other graphic programs. Your printer driver

allows you to print from most any graphics application. The

driver will center the image and automatically crop it to the

shape of a CD. This means you do not necessarily need a

template to create a CD in your favorite graphics program.

Simply create a custom page size of 120mm (4.72 inches)

square and center your image in that area and the driver will

do the rest. The center sizes listed in section 3A should guide

you in creating your disc. Because the driver crops the image

to the shape of a CD, you do not want to make your design

round. You will find it is best to "over bleed" your design by

filling the whole 120mm area with your image. This ensures

the outer and inner diameters will print perfectly round on

your disc.

D. USING KIOSK MODE

Kiosk Mode

allows you to use both of Bravo's Bins as input,

doubling your disc capacity from 50 discs to 100 discs. In this

mode, the finished discs will be deposited out through the

front of the Bravo. Refer to the Kiosk Kit User Manual for

specific installation instructions. Kiosk mode is enabled

as follows:
Click the Start button. For Windows 2000 point to Settings and

click on Printers. For XP Professional click on Printers and

Faxes. For XP Home click on Control Panel, then click on

Printers and Other Hardware, then click on Printers and Faxes.

Click on the Disc Printer Pro icon with the right mouse

button and select Printing Preferences.
Find the Disc Output Location setting at the bottom of the

preferences screen. Set it to "Kiosk".
