Printing From Windows

For details about printing using a particular application, see the documentation included with that
program. For information on using the printer with the DiscPainter software, see the Discus for
DYMO Online Help.

Below are some general tips on using the printer with other applications.

To configure your application to print to the DiscPainter printer

•

Set up a paper size that matches the size of the disc you are using.
For example, if printing to a Standard (120 mm, 4.7") disc, set up a paper size of 120 mm wide
and 120 mm high; if printing to a Mini (80 mm, 3.15") disc, set up a paper size of 80 mm wide
and 80 mm high.

•

Set all the margins to 0.

By defining the appropriate paper size, your design will be centered on the paper.

These sample files contain the proper page settings for printing a CD/DVD design to the
DiscPainter printer.

Create your design and print.
