Supply Status 
The Supply Status page shows how much remains of all 3 
colors, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. 
NOTE: If you place a used cartridge in the CX-1, the ink level 
may not be reported correctly.  If the CX-1 can identify the 
cartridge, it may report the correct ink levels; if not, it will 
assume that the ink cartridge is new and will show ink levels 
of 100%. 
Before each disc is printed, the ink levels are checked. If the 
level of any one color is has reached 10%, a warning 
message will be displayed on your Mac and printing will be 
temporarily suspended. You can either change the cartridge 
at this point, or continue printing using the same cartridge. 
If you continue with the same cartridge, printing will continue 
uninterrupted until the ink level reaches 5%. The low ink level 
warning will be displayed once more. Again, either change the cartridge or continue. 
Once the ink level reaches 3% or less, the warning will be displayed before each print. 
It is strongly recommended that you replace the cartridge at this point. 
Clean Pen 
The Clean Pen function allows you to run a cleaning cycle on 
the ink cartridge. 
At least one disc must be in the input hopper for the utility to 
function. 
Click the Clean button once a disc has been loaded to the 
belts. If the resulting disc shows streaks similar to those 
shown in the image on this page, you may need to run the 
Clean utility again.

Test 
To confirm the computer is communicating with the CX-1 Disc Publisher, print a Test Disc. This can 
be done with one of the inkjet printable CD’s included with your CX-1 Disc Publisher, or an inkjet 
compatible disc you may already have. To print the Test Disc: 
•  Load at least one piece of printable media in the Input hopper. 
•  From the Microboards Toolbox, select Test. 
• Click the Test button. 
•  Once printing is complete, the disc will be ejected into the output hopper.
