MICROBOARDS TECHNOLOGY, LLC CX-1 DISC PUBLISHER
15
Diameter Settings Tab
The Diameter Settings tab allows you to change
the size of the print image to accommodate the
variety of printable surface area available on
media without having to modify the print image
itself. Moving from non-hub printable media to
hub-printable media, for instance, would only
require that you lower the Inner Diameter setting.
The Enable Masking option must be checked to
use this feature.
The Outer and Inner Diameters will change the
size of the area to be printed. To avoid
excessive ink buildup, these values should never
be set so that the CX-1 Disc Publisher is printing
off the media.
The Parameter Unit should remain on the 0.1mm setting for maximum precision.
The default diameter settings are a 118mm Outer Diameter and a 36mm Inner Diameter. If you are
using hub-printable media and the 17mm inner diameter SureThing template, the inner diameter must
be changed to the appropriate diameter before printing.
NOTE: Masking should always be enabled to avoid printing off the printable surface.
Ink Tab
The Ink tab provides you with the approximate remaining Ink Levels as a percentage of the full
cartridge capacity. These are approximations only, and are based on the assumption that the
cartridges were full when installed in the printer.
The Color Ink percentage is based on the lowest remaining of the 3 colors. To
view the approximate levels of each individual color, click the Advanced Ink
Levels button. The individual color levels are only updated at the beginning or
end of a print job; if you are printing a large number of discs, the overall Color
Ink level on the main tab is a better indication of the true ink level remaining.
Also on the Ink tab are the Ink Cartridge Replacement model numbers, and a Disc Count of the
number of discs printed.
Alignment Tab
The Alignment tab allows you to change the printer alignment.
Alignment
The Resolution setting will specify whether the alignment values
are measured in 1mm or 0.1mm increments. The 0.1mm setting
is more precise and should always be used.
The Alignment values will move the print image on the disc.
Increasing the Top alignment value will move the print image down on the disc, while decreasing it
will move the image up on the disc. Increasing the Left alignment value will move the print image to
the right on the disc, while decreasing it will move the image left.
Use the accompanying graphic on the Alignment tab as a guide for what needs to be done if the
image is not centered.
