Using the G3 Auto Printer

Creating Disc Labels

The first step is to create a disc label of the correct size, 12cm x 12cm. You may use any application

you prefer to create your labels.

Included on the Installation disc are 2 eps-format templates for you to use. These are essentially

blank files of the correct size that show where the outer edge of the disc and the inner hub will the

image when your disc label designs are printed. One is for use with non-hub printable media (36mm

hub), while the other is to be used with hub printable media. Simply copy your artwork into these files

to create an easy disc label.

These files do not need to be used, but are provided for an easy reference when creating labels.

Loading Discs

The next step is to load your G3 Auto Printer with discs. The system will accept CD or DVD 120 mm

(12 cm) inkjet printable discs. If the disc does not have an inkjet printable surface, the ink will not

adhere to the surface of the disc. The G3 Auto Printer will only accept 12 cm discs. Business card or

8 cm discs are not supported by this system.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Load the first 5 or 6 discs flat, as seen in figure 1.

Load the rest of the discs at an angle, against the wide input rod, as seen in figure 2.

The G3 Auto Printer will hold a maximum of 50 discs. DO NOT load more than 50 discs in the

system, as this may cause the discs to feed incorrectly.

Printing Discs

While the Microboards G3 Auto Printer will print from any application, you should always choose the

GX Series printer and 120mm disc in the Format For and Paper Size Page Setup selections,

respectively.

Please note that the Paper Size setting may need to be set each time an image is printed,

depending on the Operating System and application you are using.

It is highly recommended that the image you are printing is 120mm by 120mm. Having a

different size image may result in the improper placement of the image on the disc.

Printing prior to burning any media is not recommended!!
