Making an Original CD/DVD

Printing a CD/DVD label
This section provides information on how to use the
LCD screen to print directly onto a CD/DVD, without
the use of a computer. It provides step-by-step
instructions on how to load the CD/DVD in the
printer, how to select the print layout, and how to
adjust the print settings.
Use EPSON Print CD software if you are printing from
a computer connected to the printer.
When printing on CD/DVD, keep the following
points in mind:
Note:
❏ Use only CD/DVD media labeled as suitable for printing, for
example "Printable on the label surface" or "Printable with ink jet
printers."
❏ The printed surface is easily smeared immediately after printing.
❏ Be sure to let a CD/DVD dry completely before using it or
touching the printed surface.
❏ Do not allow the printed CD/DVD to dry in direct sunlight.
❏ Moisture on the printable surface may cause smearing.
❏ If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are
accidentally printed on, immediately wipe off the ink.
❏ Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print
quality.
❏ You can set the printable area of a CD/DVD using EPSON Print
CD. Set the printable area to fit the printable area of the CD/DVD
that you are printing on. When you make settings, note that
improper settings may stain the CD/DVD tray, CD, or DVD.
❏ The printable area of a CD/DVD is illustrated as follows.
