Description

Learn how to copy the label of an optical disc (CD, DVD, and so on) onto a printable disc.

Solution

You can copy the label of an existing BD/DVD/CD and print it on a printable disc.

Important

You cannot print on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
Do not attach the disc tray or place the printable disc until the message asking you to set them is displayed. Doing so can damage the machine.

Make sure that the printer is turned on.
Press the MENU button.

The menu screen is displayed.
Select Advanced print, then press the OK button.
Select Copy label to disc label, then press the OK button.

The print area setting screen is displayed.
Specify the print area, then press the OK button.

Use the button to select Outer circle or Inner circle and use the button to change the print area.
Note
- Measure the outer and inner diameters of the printing surface of the printable disc and make sure you set a value smaller than the measured value for the outer diameter, and a value larger than the measured value for the inner diameter.
- For information on printable discs, contact their manufacturers.
Use the button to select a printable disc type, then press the OK button.
Note
- If your printable disc is the recommended disc, specify Recommended disc for the suitable density printing. If not, specify Other disc.
Follow the on-screen instructions to load the copy source BD/DVD/CD on the Platen Glass, then press the OK button.

The print setting confirmation screen is displayed.
Important
- Be sure to load the copy source BD/DVD/CD with its label side down on the center of the Platen Glass. If you load it near the edge of the Platen Glass, part of the image may be cut off.
Press the Color button for color copying, or the Black button for black & white copying.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set the printable disc.

  Placing a Printable Disc
Press the OK button.

The machine starts copying.
Note
- Press the Stop button to cancel copying.
- After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
- To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten discs when printing more than ten discs continuously. To stop the printing operation, detach the disc tray from the machine, then close the inner cover (the cover of the disc tray). After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the inner cover, attach the disc tray to the machine, then resume printing.
- If printing is misaligned, adjust the printing position using Adjust disc print area in Print settings under Device settings.
