B. USING OTHER GRAPHICS PROGRAMS
While SureThing will handle most labeling needs, some people
prefer to use other graphic programs. Your printer driver
allows you to print from most any graphics application. The
driver will center the image and automatically crop it to the
shape of a CD. This means you do not necessarily need a
template to create a CD in your favorite graphics program.
Simply create a custom page size of 120mm (4.72 inches)
square and center your image in that area and the driver will
do the rest. The center sizes listed on page 15 should guide you
in creating your disc. Because the driver crops the image to the
shape of a CD, you do not want to make your design round.
You will find it is best to "over bleed" your design by filling the
whole 120mm area with your image. This ensures the outer
and inner diameters will print perfectly round on your disc.
C. ADVANCED PRINTER DRIVER FUNCTIONS
Once the Printer software has been successfully installed, you
will want to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the
printer driver settings. These settings affect the print quality of
your discs. The default settings of the printer driver will fit
most printing needs. Please refer to the following steps to
change or verify your printer driver options:
1. Click the Start button. For Windows 2000 point to Settings
and click on Printers. For XP Professional click on Printers
and Faxes. For XP Home click on Control Panel, then click
on Printers and Other Hardware, then click on Printers
and Faxes. For Windows Vista click the Windows button
and choose Printers.
