    The printer starts copying.

    Note

    • Touch 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, we recommend you 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 printer and close the disc tray guide. After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the inner cover, attach the disc tray to the printer and resume printing.

    • If printing is misaligned, adjust the printing position using Adjust disc print area in Print settings under Device settings.
