Set Device Settings for Monochrome or CMY Ribbons

You can print in one (monocolor) or more colors. Use these procedures to
set up the Prism to print in color or monocolor and adjust device settings for
the type of ribbon used.

Print in Monocolor

1. Install a monocolor ribbon in the printer. Refer to the
Ribbon section on page 18.
Tip: The print color is automatically detected and set based on the type
of ribbon installed in the printer.
2. Access Print Properties. Refer to page 9.
3. Select the Device Settings tab.
4. Select Halftone Setup Properties to make changes that affect color
intensity, color balance, or pattern settings.
5. Select Media Type.
Tip: Some DVD media has a raised stacking ring on the printable side of
the disc. The direct thermal print process used in the Prism III printer
cannot print in this area. The DVD with Top Stacking Ring setting causes
the printer to skip over the stacking ring which results in an unprinted
band on the disc. Rimage recomends using discs without the stacking
ring on the printable surface.
6. Set the Master Print Strobe. Refer to the
more information.
