About Printable CDs/DVDs
Inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs are available in two basic sizes (diameters): Standard size (120 mm) and Mini size (80 mm). Inkjet-printable discs can be hub-printable (also called full face or full coverage) or non hub-printable. Hub-printable discs allow you to print close to the inner edge of the center hole, while non hub-printable discs have a larger unprintable area at the center of the disc. Drying Time Drying times will vary based on the disc type and ink density used. Most discs should dry within seconds; however, depending on ink density, some discs may require much longer to dry. In general, do not touch the printed surface until you are sure it is dry and only handle the disc by holding the edge. Note The printer is designed to print only on inkjet-printable discs. If you print onto discs that are not inkjet-printable, the ink will not dry correctly and may pool. Not using inkjet-printable discs may damage your printer. Designs containing large amounts of black color may be damp after printing. To avoid this, reduce the amount of black in the design.

Keep the following important points in mind when loading discs into the printer:
• Never remove a disc during printing (while it is spinning). Always wait for the disc to stop spinning. The ink status light will blink yellow, which indicates that the disc is finished printing.
• Avoid touching the bottom part of the disc. Always handle the disc by its outer edge. You can also support the disc by inserting a finger through its center hole.
• Always use an inkjet-printable disc.
• Before printing, make sure the disc size and other characteristics (finish, hub printable/non-hub printable, and so on) match the settings defined for the printer. See “Controlling Print Quality/Speed” on page 17 for information on controlling the printer.
• Make sure you insert the disc with the printable surface facing up. The printable surface is typically white, but can also be silver, red, blue, green, or other colors, depending on the disc’s finish. See “About Printable CDs/DVDs” on page 5 for information.
To load a disc into the printer
1 Carefully raise the front cover to its upright position. The ink status light on top of the printer blinks yellow.
2 If another disc is already on the disc tray, remove the disc, touching the disc only on the outer edges.
3 Place the blank disc onto the center spindle in the disc tray with the printable side up.
4 Carefully lower the front cover. The Ink LED stops blinking. This indicates that you are ready to print on the disc.
