GX Toolbox

A shortcut to the GX Toolbox was added to your desktop during the printer installation.
Double-click the icon to open the toolbox. For each of the functions, a blank disc will need
to be loaded.

Print Test Disc

Load an unprinted disc in the input hopper prior to clicking this button to print a Test Disc image.

Exercise Belt

This utility should be run if the printer has been idle for an extended period of time, and can be run
multiple times if necessary. The belts will run at high speed for a period of time to recondition the
belts. It is not necessary to load any media for this utility.

Cleaning

The printheads may require cleaning if the printed images show streaks of color. This may occur if
the GX Disc Printer has been idle for an extended period of time.
You will need to place a disc on the belts below the input hopper prior to running the Cleaning.
Running this process more than once may be required if the quality does not improve after cleaning
one time.
