5) When all preferences are set as desired, click ‘OK’ to begin printing the current label.
6) After one CD has been successfully printed, the label image is stored in the printer’s
memory. Successive prints can be done manually by pressing the ‘Print’ button after
loading a new disc. The label image stored in memory is lost after shutdown (power
off).
Note: A CD label printed on the PowerPro II is stored in the PowerPro II’s memory as
long as the PowerPro II is ON. Only one CD label will reside in the PowerPro II’s
memory at a time. To re-print additional CDs with this stored label, open printer tray by
pressing the TRAY button, load an unlabeled CD, then press the PRINT button on the
printer's control panel.
7) See the CD Painter User’s Guide for instructions using CD Painter to create CD
labels. Follow the procedures in the CD Painter User’s Guide to get a label file
ready for printing.
