Printing On Cds Or Dvds; Cleaning The Roller - Epson Stylus Photo R300 Series User Manual

Printing On CDs or DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics, and photos
directly on any ink-jet printable CD or DVD. The EPSON Print CD software makes it easy
to import your own photos, add text, and modify your designs with a variety of special effects.
You can print on both standard-size 12-cm CDs and 8-cm mini CDs.
Caution: Use only ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable
and regular CDs and DVDs should not be used with this printer.
You can order ink-jet printable CDs and DVDs from your local retailer or several websites, for
example, www.pcmall.com, www.cdw.com, www.warehouse.com, www.zones.com,
www.macconnection.com, and www.pcconnection.com. Make sure you purchase CDs and
DVDs that have an ink-jet printable surface.
