Using your MantraJet 1100 CD/DVD auto-printer: Installing ink cartridges: 1. Turn the printer on. The ink cartridge cradle will not move if the power is not on. 2. Open the large printer cover. 3. Wait until the ink cartridge cradle moves to the right side of the printer and is idle and quiet. 4. Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging and carefully remove the protective plastic tape. Hold the print cartridge so that the copper strips are on the bottom and are closest to the printer.

It will also flash to alert you to improper cartridge installation, or if the cover is open. 2 Print Cancel Pressing this button will cancel the current print. 3 Tray Open / Close Press to open or close the disc tray. 4 Resume Print / LED The LED serves to indicate attention is needed. Such as inserting a new disc, or clearing an error.
Printer Driver Settings: Paper quality tab: You can change the print quality setting using this tab. It is important to understand that there is a trade-off between print quality and print speed. The better print quality you want, the more time it will take to print a disc. Please experiment by changing this setting by selecting desired setting in the “Print quality” drop down box.
Basic tab: You can change the orientation to Portrait, Landscape or you can mirror the image within the driver without using graphics software. Since MantraJet 1100 is a CD/DVD printer it doesn’t affect the printed disc because it has round shape. You can adjust the ink volume when you click on “Advanced features” button.
Color tab: You can print your label in a grayscale and you don’t have to edit the label in the editing software. Simply click the “Print In Grayscale” and you will achieve the desired result. NOTE: Please do not use the “Black Print Cartridge Only” because of a known problem with HP driver module which has not been resolved in the present release of MantraJet 1100 driver.
Utilities tab: “Test print” button: Please use the “Utilities” tab to test your printer. “Clean” button: Sometimes when you don’t use your printer for several weeks or months you may need to clean the nozzles in the printer cartridges. “Test print” button: If you think that the cartridges need cleaning but you are not sure you can tell the printer to print the diagnostics pattern. “Ink level” button: When you click on this button the printer driver will be displaying the ink level .
Alignment tab: MantraJet 1100 and any other printer is a mechanical device. This is why sometimes a minor misalignment may occur due to the handling of the printer in shipping. MantraJet 1100 allows correcting the undesired offset of the printable area. The best method is to use the “Test print” in the “Utilities” tab. The printed disc has a circle of 116 mm diameter. If the circle is offset you can simply enter the desired offset and click on “Offset” button.
Maintenance: Cleaning the case interior Inkjet printers print by spraying a fine mist of ink from the print head onto the paper. In some situations, small amounts of ink from the printing process may be deposited on the printer case and become visible over time. If this situation occurs, the exterior of the printer can be cleaned with a soft cloth, moistened with water to remove ink deposits, dust, smudges, and fingerprints. A mild detergent may be used if necessary on the exterior.
Cleaning the ink cartridges Clean the Inkjet print cartridges when lines or dots are missing from printed text and graphics. The missing lines and dots will appear as white lines throughout the text and graphics. This may be caused by the spray nozzles being clogged or by the cartridge running out of ink. If the inkjet print cartridge is running out of ink, replace the cartridge.
1. In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, then Print. The Print dialog opens. 2. Click the Properties button and select the Services tab. 3. Click the Utilities tab. 4. Click the Clean button, then follow the on-screen instructions.
