The AC power switch located on the back of the G3 Auto Printer must be turned on first in order to
supply power to the Front Control Panel.
The Power Button on the front panel of the G3 Auto Printer turns the Printer on and off. It may take
a few seconds for the Printer to turn on after you press the Power Button.
To turn off the power to the printer using the Control Panel, you will need to press and hold the Power
Button for 3 seconds. Once the Ink Light, Media Light, and Power Light begin flashing, you can
release the Power Button.
The green Power/Activity light flashes when the printer is active, either while printing or initializing.
The Cancel Button can be
used to discontinue printing.
This will either cancel the
entire print job or just the
current disc, depending on
the label being printed.
If a disc is not detected
during printing, the Media
Light will flash. Verify that
you have discs in the input
hopper and press the Media
Light to load and print the
next disc.
The Ink Light will come on if the ink cartridge is low or empty.
Printer Alignment
Verify the printer alignment the first time you use the Publisher. You may need to align your
printer before the printed images will be centered on your media. Changing the brand or type
of media you are using may also require small alignment adjustments.
