Printing On Cds And Dvds - Epson Stylus Photo R280 Series Quick Manual

Printing on CDs and DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics,
and photos directly on an 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. For detailed instructions on printing, see
the on-screen User's Guide. You can print on both regular 12-cm and
8-cm mini CDs and DVDs.
Caution:
Use only one ink jet-printable CD or DVD at a time. Thermal-printable and regular CDs
and DVDs should not be used with this printer; otherwise the ink may smear.
Do not turn the printer on or off with a CD or DVD inserted.
Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink jet-printable CDs or
DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause
errors when you burn the data.
Before you insert a CD or DVD, make sure the printer is turned on. Otherwise,
the disc may not be positioned correctly. Then follow these steps:
1. Open the front cover.
2. Lift the front tray up with both hands, then pull it
out of the paper position (lower notches).
3. Set the front tray in the CD/DVD position
(upper notches).
4. Place the CD or DVD on the CD/DVD
tray with the white or printable side face-
up. Make sure the disc lies flat in the tray.
Caution:
Before you position the CD or DVD, make sure
that no dust or dirt is on the CD/DVD tray, as
this may damage the disc's data side.
Be sure to use the CD/DVD tray provided with
this printer. If you use another CD/DVD tray,
your CD or DVD may not print correctly.
