Check/Remedy Procedure
Is there dirt on the disc?
Gently wipe off any dust or dirt adhering to the label side using a soft
cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or antistatic agents.
See "Handling Discs" on page 50
Is the printing surface fully dry?
Do not let other discs get in contact with the printing surface until the ink
on the published disc is dry. Otherwise, marks can be left where contact
is made.
Is the ink drying time set too short?
The ink drying time is the time after label printing is completed until the
disc ink is dried in the printer tray. Set a longer ink drying time.

The colors shown on the display and the results printed by the printer use
