Controlling Print Intensity with Windows ’95/98 Print Drivers

The Intensity Bar controls the darkness of graphics printed on a label (only in

Windows 95/98 print drivers), which is accessed from the print driver parameters.

The printed graphic image may appear darker than expected. The darkness or

intensity can be adjusted by using the Intensity Bar. This bar is located in the

Graphics tab of the printer driver parameters. See the dialog box on page 32 for

reference. Slide the indicator to adjust the intensity of color photographs and print it

again until the desired intensity is obtained. Windows NT print driver works the best

for halftone graphic images.

Setting up for Monocolor Printing

You may print monocolor labels with single-color ribbons in either the Prism Printer

or the monocolor printer. Single-color printing may print on many types of CDs. Use

the values in the included tables for the best settings.

1. Install a monocolor ribbon, such as black or red, in the CD Printer if one is not

installed.

2. Select Window’s Start button.

3. Select Printers from the Settings menu.

4. Right click on Rimage Perfect Image Printer PF icon and select Properties.

5. If using Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000, select the Device Settings tab. If

using Windows ’98 or ’95, select Device Options tab.

6. Select Installed Ribbon setting and select Monocolor at the lower portion of

the dialog box.

7. Select Print Strobe setting and set the value from 400 to 550 depending on

media surface. For more specific settings see “Optimizing Print Quality” section

on page 36.

8. Select Double Print setting and select Yes if using Kodak Infoguard media.

9. Select the Detect Media Change option and select No if using a Rimage

transporter. For multiple copies to a standalone CD Printer, set it to Yes.

With the Detect Media Change option enabled, the printer waits for the user to

remove the printed CD-R before attempting to print the next label on the same

label. The CD must be removed from the print pad and a new CD placed on the

pad within 5 seconds or the software displays an error message.

10. Disable Perfect Print option. This option is only used for Rimage’s AutoPrinter.

11. If using Windows ’95 or 98, select the Paper tab. If using Windows NT/2000,

select Media Type setting and select the surface type of CD-Rs to be printed. See

“Optimizing Print Quality” section on page 37.

12. Select OK to save the changes.

13. If printing directly to the standalone CD Printer, go to “Printing a CD

(Standalone)” on page 35. If printing with the Rimage transporter, see the

“Getting Started…” book included on the software disc.
