First you must make sure you
have the Printer enabled in the duplication options
area of the setup menu. Scroll down through the
duplication options and make sure the printer
enabled option is set to YES. After this is done
then in the Image functions area you will have
two image menus one for CD (master) images and
one for print images. Each area has its own sub
menus with import, rename, etc.
To print on CD's while they
are being copied you will need to import a print
image into the system to append this print image
to the CD image you are copying. If you are doing
Print Only then the print image does not need
to be appended to anything.
To import images you must
first create the print image on a PC using the
Rimage supplied CD Designer software program or
any other program that you want to create your
label or print image in. Then when you go to print
-choose the correct printer (Rimage Perfect Image
Printer PF) and then print to a file:
THIS IS HARD FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND- THE FILE YOU CREATED IS
NOT SAVED IT IS PRINTED AND THEN THE PRINTER DRIVER
WILL ASK FOR YOU TO GIVE IT A FILE NAME - (********.PRN
) this file or files will then be saved and burned
to a CDR for transferring onto the loader hard
drive.
RIMAGE PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS:
Under START, SETTINGS, PRINTERS - right click
Rimage PerfectImage Printer PF and choose Properties:
In the DETAILS tab make sure:
In the Print to the following port are is set
to: FILE: (Creates file on disk)
In the DEVICE OPTIONS tab:
Double Print may or may not be checked depending
on you media etc.
RLE compression should be checked
Make sure Detect media change is NOT checked
Make sure Using RimageAuto printer is NOT checked
It is best to try and get
a lot of the print images together at the same
time and create them, and then burn them to a
CDR together to save time. You then go to the
'Image Functions' area of the loader and use the
load print images option. The images are imported
similar to how a master is loaded in, except it
will bring up a menu and allow you to choose the
image to be imported.
To attach or APPEND to a master
cd image file you would choose this option from
the images/print images/append menu and pick the
appropriate files.You are given the option when
you go to copy if you want to print or not. There
is also a print only option from the main menu.
(If you try to do a duplication
job only and the system hangs for a long time
at the calibration area it is because it is looking
for the printer that should be turned on and hooked
up, if it is not then you should simply turn the
printer option OFF in the setup menu/duplication
options area so it will not look for the printer
during straight duplication only.)
(If the Printer is mis-loading
because of alignment - see the alignment/adjustment
area of this manual)
