F. OVERVIEW OF OPERATION  
Your new Publisher is an automated, precision device intended  
for continuous-duty publishing of discs. The following is a  
description of the complete process of duplicating and printing  
a CD/DVD job on your Publisher:  
1. Up to 20 blank discs may be loaded at one time into the  
Input Bin.  
2. The Publisher's integrated Robotic Disc Transporter will  
first check your recorder drive for a disc by attempting  
to"pick" from the recorder. Then, the Robotic Disc  
Transporter will pick a disc from the Input Bin.  
3. The Recorder Tray opens automatically and the Robotic  
Disc Transporter places a disc into the recorder. After the  
disc is placed in the recorder, the Robotic Disc Transporter  
checks the input stack to "see" if two discs were picked.  
4. The Recorder Tray then automatically shuts. If a disc does  
not record properly (meaning that all or part of that disc is  
not recordable), the Robotic Disc Transporter picks it out of  
the CD Tray and sends it to the Output Bin.  
5. The Recorder is now writing to the disc. If you were to  
fully record a CD with data, audio, video or music (650  
MB), recording time is about 3 fi minutes each. A full DVD  
records in about 7-15 minutes depending on the speed of  
the media to which you are recording. Most jobs don't fill  
the entire disc, so recording time is usually less than this.  
After recording, the Recorder Tray opens automatically.  
The Robotic Disc Transporter will lift the disc out of the  
Recorder Tray. The Recorder Tray will close, and the  
Printer Tray will open. The Robotic Disc Transporter will  
lower the disc into the Printer Tray, and the Printer Tray  
will then automatically close.  
6. If publishing more than one disc, the Robotic Disc  
Transporter will load the Recorder Drive with a blank disc  
from the Input Bin to start recording the next round.  
6 Getting Started  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
7. Once recording has started on the next round, printing will  
start with the recorded disc from the previous round. This  
simultaneous printing and recording greatly increases the  
throughput of your Publisher.  
8. Print time varies according to which print mode has been  
selected (Section 3-A). In most cases, print time takes no  
more than 2 minutes. After printing the first disc, the  
Publisher's Printer Disc Tray opens automatically. The  
Robotic Disc Transporter moves the finished disc to the  
Output Bin.  
9. The Robotic Disc Transporter will now load the second  
recorded disc into the Printer Tray for printing.  
10. The process starts over and repeats until all blank discs are  
gone or the number you have specified via software are  
copied and printed.

Step 1: Applying Power  
Important! Remove all packing materials from the inside of  
the Publisher before continuing with the following steps.  
Locate the power cord supplied with your Publisher.  
Plug the adapter into a surge protected outlet, and plug the  
power plug into the power port on the rear panel of the  
Publisher.  
Step 2: Loading Media (Discs)  
NOTE: Your Publisher can print directly onto virtually any brand of inkjet  
printable-surface CD/DVD media. However, different brands of discs  
have different printable coatings. Because of this, you may need to  
adjust the printer driver settings to accommodate your specific  
brand of CD/DVD media. Refer to Section 3-D and 4-D for further  
printer driver information.  
Due to the wide variety of printable-surface CD/DVD media,  
you may find that certain brands of discs provide higher print  
quality than others. For maximum print quality, use CD/DVD  
media authorized by Primera.

Section 3: Creating Discs on a PC  
There are two main components to creating discs, printing and  
burning. SureThing CD Labeler is used to design the printing  
on your discs. PTPublisher controls the recording and allows  
you to select the image to be printed to your discs. Both  
applications will be described in detail in this section.  
A. TUTORIAL: COPY A CD OR DVD  
Copy CD or Copy DVD can be used to copy any CD or DVD  
master. This project reads the master disc from the Disc  
Publisher drive to the hard drive of your computer. The master  
is stored in the Global Image format (*.gi) in a temporary  
location on your computer. PTPublisher uses this temporary  
file to make all subsequent copies that are requested. The  
master disc is read only once to create the initial temporary file.  
Recommended for: All CD or DVD types (Audio CD, Data  
CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD, DVD, DVD-ROM,  
DVD+/-DL, etc.). This is best used for single runs where you  
will not need to make additional copies of the master disc a  
later time.  
1. Select Copy Project from the Starter Window or the New  
Project Panel. A Copy Project sub menu will be displayed.  
Choose Copy CD or Copy DVD. Step one of the Copy Disc  
wizard will be displayed.  
2. You will be prompted to place the disc you would  
like to copy into the drive inside the Disc Publisher. The  
tray door will open automatically. Place the disc in the  
drive and click OK.

C. CREATING A PRINT LABEL USING SURETHING  
The SureThing Disc Labeler software included with your  
Publisher is a great tool for creating professional looking discs.  
You can use SureThing's Smart Designs to quickly label a disc,  
or easily import your own design in many popular file formats.  
The Help section included with the software will provide  
complete instructions on all the features in this package. (Go to  
the Help Menu - Choose Contents) The following is a tutorial

apply if you have purchased the business card adapter kit.  
Non-printable Outer Margin  
Adjust this value to print all the way to the outer edge of a CD.  
This is useful if you are printing full coverage images. The  
lower you set this value the farther to the outer edge of the CD  
you will print. Please note that with most media the printable  
surface does not extend all the way to the edge of the disc.  
Print Quality  
This setting affects the quality, speed and ink usage of the  
print. Color matching is also tied to this setting. Start with the  
default setting for fastest printing and the least amount of ink  
consumption. If the quality needs improvement move to the  
next highest setting.

printed in this mode will look more vibrant because more ink  
is being used to produce them. However, printing images of  
people may produce skin tones that have a reddish tint.  
Best for Photos mode is best used for photographic images  
where accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images  
printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in  
Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural in  
this mode.

NOTE: Exact color matching of the printed discs to the screen may never  
be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers  
control. The surface of the disc reacts with the ink in the cartridge to  
produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to  
different types of discs with different surfaces the printed output can  
look entirely different.  
Ink Saturation  
This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image.  
When printing onto the printer manufacturer's TuffCoat CD  
media, this option can be left at its default setting of 100%.  
When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you  
may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink  
saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media.  
If discs do not seem to be drying completely it may be  
necessary to reduce this value.  
Calibration Options  
Click on the plus to reveal the following four Calibration  
options.  
Inner Diameter  
This value changes the size of the non-printed center. Larger  
numbers cause the non-printed center to be larger and smaller  
numbers make the non-printed center smaller. This number is  
incremented by 0.1mm so a change of 10 for inner diameter  
changes the diameter by 1mm.  
Inner Diameter Non-Printed Diameter  
230 0.905" (22.0mm) (TuffCoatTM, Default)  
150 0.591" (15mm) (Physical Center)  
Cartridge Alignment  
The Cartridge Alignment prints a test print and then  
automatically scans the print to configure your printer for  
bidirectional printing and to align the color cartridge. It is  
important to perform this calibration every time you change  
a cartridge. If you forget to perform this calibration you will  
be prompted to do so before your first print from the new  
cartridge.

Center The Print Image  
NOTE: Your printer comes from the factory pre-calibrated to print  
the image in the center of the CD. You can use this adjustment if you  
need to fine-tune this location.  
If you ever wish to verify your factory-calibrated Vertical  
and Horizontal calibration settings, you can run a simple  
calibration procedure to assure that your images will be  
centered when printed on a CD. To do this, refer to the  
following steps:  
1. Verify that a disc and a color ink cartridge are installed  
in the Publisher. It is important to use the same disc you  
normally use for your publishing because different brands  
of discs may vary slightly in size. Also, verify that the  
Publisher is powered ON and that it is connected to your  
computer.  
2. Click on the Center the Print Image and then the  
Properties button. The printer will begin printing the  
calibration test print.  
3. When the print is complete, rotate disc 180º  
and put the disc back in the input bin and  
repeat step 2 using the same disc.  
4. When the second run of the print is complete, you should  
have a test print that looks similar to the following:

E. USING OTHER GRAPHICS PROGRAMS  
While SureThing will handle most labeling needs, other  
graphics programs can be used if you prefer.  
When printing and burning through the PTPublisher software  
your Publisher will support the following additional stardard  
label image file formats: BMP, TIF, JPG, GIF, PNG and PRN.  
These formats can be exported from most any original graphics  
format such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.  
When creating images in other graphics programs we  
recommend creating a 4.72 x 4.72 square image that has a  
300 dpi resolution.

B. USING DISCRIBE 5.3  
B.1 Starting a Project  
The initial Discribe starter window provides 3 project types:  
Audio CD, Data CD and Copy CD / DVD. Choose one. Many  
more projects are available once the data picker window is  
open. Once you are in one of the main three project types you  
may choose any of the other available project types by clicking  
the drop down box at the top of the screen and selecting one of  
the projects. For more information on any project type please  
consult the software users manual that is stored on your  
computer in the Applications - Disc Publisher folder.  
Once you choose a new project type you will be prompted to  
save the original project. Click No.  
Add data to any project by dragging the data files to this win-  
dow or by clicking the Data button browse to specific data files  
or folders. Other popular project types are listed below with a  
short description of each.  
Build a Mac HFS. Use this project type to create a CD for a  
Macintosh only.  
ISO 9660. Use this project type to create a data CD for a Mac  
and a PC. Using this project type will limit file name lengths to  
16 characters.  
32 Creating Discs on a Mac  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Universal Disk Format (UDF). Use this project type to create a  
data DVD for a Mac and a PC.  
DVD Video/Audio. This project type can be used to create  
DVD videos from properly formatted Video_TS and Audio_TS  
folders on your hard drive. Note: Video_TS and Audio_TS  
folders must first be created by a DVD authoring program.  
Disc Copy Image. Use this project to create discs from previ-  
ously created images made from the Discribe software. An  
image is an exact snapshot of a disc that can be stored in one  
easily manageable file on your hard drive. Creating an image is  
useful for discs that you will need multiple copies of over a  
long period of time. This project saves time by not requiring  
you to read in the master before every copy project. Create  
images by using the Utilities - Write Physical Image command  
shown in the next section. Note: Only Discribe images will be  
accepted. Images created through other software or the  
Macintosh Disc Utility will not be recognized by Discribe.  
B.2 Utilities and other Menus  
Preferences, utilities and support are available through the  
menu that appears at the top of the screen when Discribe is  
active.  
B.3 Saving Projects  
It is possible to save a project so that you can easily open it  
again and start it. Saving projects is not possible for CD/DVD  
copy project. When you save a project, the data and print file  
locations are stored in a small file on your computer. This is  
different than a disc image since the actual data and print file  
are not stored in the project file. Once a project is saved you  
can queue it. Job queuing is described in the next section.  
To save a project simply go to the file menu at any time and  
choose Save Project As.

of the Data Picker  
window instead of  
the Burn button. If  
you have not yet saved your project, you will be prompted to  
do so at this time.  
The Robot Write Window described in section 4B.5 will be  
displayed. Once you choose your print file and burn settings,  
click OK. The Job Queue list window will be displayed. Here  
you can manage and edit the jobs that are in queue. To start the  
jobs click Start Jobs.

C. PRINTED LABEL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS  
Your printer driver allows you to create labels in 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 in Section D  
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.  
Label Format Requirements:  
4.72 x 4.72 (120mm) Square Image.  
No Circular Images  
To Print and burn simultaneously through the Discribe  
program the image will need to be in one of the following  
supported file formats:  
JPEGs, TIFFs, PICTs, PDFs, GIFs, BMP, JPEG 2000, MacPaint,  
Photoshop, PNG, QuickTime Images, SGI, TGA, and more.  
In order to help you design your label, included on the  
installation disc are templates in eps format. These templates  
will help you get started designing your label.  
To use the template follow these steps:  
1. Open the template in Photoshop or Illustrator.  
2. Create a new layer for your image or graphics. (Make  
sure the template layer is on top of the image layer)  
3. Place your image or design your graphics on the new layer.  
Use the template as a guide for image and graphics  
placement.  
4. Before you print or save your image in another format,  
either hide the template layer or delete the template layer.  
The circular shape and center cut out should not be  
printed. Use it only as a guide to layout your image.

D. ADVANCED PRINTER DRIVER FUNCTIONS  
The following section will examine the printer driver settings  
that affect the print quality of your discs. While the default  
settings will fit most printing needs, it is a good idea to  
familiarize yourself with these settings to optimize your print  
quality. The printer driver settings are contained in two areas,  
Page Setup and Print Setup. You can access the driver settings  
as follows:  
1. From Discribe, or any printing application, click the Page  
Setup and set Format For to Disc Publisher SE.  
2. The paper sizes for the Publisher refer to the type of disc to  
which you will be printing. The available sizes are:  
CD/DVD, Business Card Disc, 80mm CD and Hockey  
Rink Disc.

Print Settings  
Click Print Settings to see the driver window and all of its  
settings. Click the Copies and Pages button and select  
Publisher Settings option in the drop-down menu to see the  
full pane and access all the printer driver settings.  
The following is a description of the printer driver settings:  
Print Quality  
There are three options for image quality. Keep in mind  
that Normal provides the fastest print at lower quality  
while Best delivers the best quality at a slower print speed.  
Disc Surface Quality  
This setting also affects the Quality of the printed image  
by altering the color matching profile. Start with the  
default setting for fastest printing and the least ink  
consumption. If the quality needs improvement, move  
to the next highest setting.  
Color Matching  
Graphic mode is best used for graphical images where  
accurate color reproduction is not as essential. Images  
printed in this mode will look more vibrant because more  
ink is being used to produce them. However, printing  
images of people may produce skin tones that have a  
reddish tint.  
38 Creating Discs on a Mac  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Photo mode is best used for photographic images where  
accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images  
printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in  
Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural  
in this mode.  
NOTE: Exact color matching of the printed discs to the screen may never  
be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers  
control. The surface of the disc reacts with the ink in the cartridge to  
produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to  
different brands of discs with different printable surfaces the printed  
output can look entirely different .  
Intensity  
The Intensity setting will control the amount of ink  
saturation on the disc. When printing onto the Primera  
ToughCoat discs, 96% is usually sufficient. When printing  
on to other brands of media, or if you would like to print  
darker colors, you may wish to increase the Intensity  
setting.  
Inner Diameter  
The inner diameter refers to the size of the non-printed  
center on your disc. The size of the center hub can vary  
from one type of media to the next. This allows you to set  
the inner diameter in millimeters allowing you to print all  
the way to the center hub regardless of the type of disc you  
are using. For the discs that Primera sells, use the following  
guide for Inner Diameter:  
23 mm for Primera's Tuff-Coat CDR  
24.9 mm for the Hockey Rink Disc, Business  
Card Disc and 80mm CD  
Outer Margin  
The Outer Margin refers to where the printing will cut  
off around the outer edge of your disc. The size of the  
printable surface can vary from one type of media to the  
next. This allows you to set the outer margin in millimeters  
allowing you to print all the way to the edge regardless of  
the type of disc you are using.  
Save As Default  
The Save As Default button will save the current settings as  
the system-wide defaults.

Restore Defaults  
The Restore Defaults button will restore the driver settings  
to the factory defaults.  
Config Utility  
This button launches the Configuration Utility.  
The Configuration Utility is a program that installs with  
your Publisher software. This utility allows you to monitor  
ink levels, maintain and calibrate the ink cartridge and align  
printing on the disc. The Configuration Utility can be  
launched from the Print Center in OSX by doing the following:  
1. Click the Finder  
2. Click the Applications Icon  
3. Scroll to Print Center (Printer Setup Utility in  
OS X v. 10.3 or greater)  
4. Highlight the Disc Publisher SE and click the Configure  
(Utility in OS X v. 10.3) Icon  
You can also launch the Configuration Utility from the Disc  
Publisher SE printer settings in any printing application by  
clicking File then Print and selecting Publisher Settings.  
In Publisher Settings you will find a button to launch the  
Configuration Utility. When launched, the following  
window appears:  
40 Creating Discs on a Mac  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
You will see the Color Ink Level is displayed. The Color Ink  
Level represents the lowest color in your cartridge. For  
instance, if your cartridge has 80% cyan 50% yellow and 65%  
magenta ink remaining, the level reported would be 50%. You  
will also see the following buttons:  
Clean Cartridge  
A cartridge that sits idle in the Publisher for a period of time  
may start to experience some drying of ink in the tiny nozzles  
that make up the print head. Clicking the Clean Cartridge  
button will cause the Publisher to pick a disc and place in into  
the printer tray. The Publisher will then print a simple pattern  
that will flush ink through the nozzles. The test pattern will  
also show you if any nozzles are clogged. In the pattern you  
will see some diagonal lines which should be continuous;  
breaks in those lines indicate a clogged nozzle. Please note  
that it may require more than one cleaning to fully clear all  
nozzles. If the nozzles are not fully clear after a few cleaning  
prints, it may be necessary to remove the cartridge and  
actually clean the print head by gently blotting the nozzles  
with a moist cloth or paper towel and replace it in the  
Publisher. See Section 5-B.  
Change Cartridge  
If you need to change the cartridge, it is a good idea to use the  
Change Cartridge button in the Configuration Utility. This  
ensures the most accurate tracking of ink levels. To change a  
cartridge, click the Change Cartridge button. The cartridge  
holder will move to the center of the Publisher to make it easi-  
er to install the cartridge. Lift the top cover and install the  
cartridge as described in Section 2 of this manual. You will  
be prompted to let the system know whether or not you are  
installing a new or used color cartridge. Once installed, click  
the OK button and the system will update your cartridge  
levels.  
Alignment Calibration Print  
The Cartridge Alignment prints a test print and then  
automatically scans the print to configure your printer for  
bidirectional printing. It is important to perform this calibra-  
tion every time you change a cartridge. If you forget to per-  
form this calibration you will be prompted to do so before your  
first print from the new cartridge.  
Creating Discs on a Mac 41

Image Alignment  
The Image Alignment button will allow you to nudge the  
image up, down, left, or right on your disc. To center the  
image, click the Image Alignment button. You will be  
prompted with a choice to print a test print or simply enter val-  
ues to nudge the image alignment on the disc.  
If you do not know the direction and distance to move the  
image in order to center it on your disc, you can opt to print  
the centering test print. Make sure the Publisher has discs and  
an ink cartridge installed, and it is connected and ready to  
receive a print job, and then click the Yes button. The  
Publisher will pick a disc and print a scale of numbers on it.  
You will be prompted to open the Publisher's front cover, rotate  
the printed disc 180 degrees, reload it into the  
input, and close the cover. Click OK when ready  
and the Publisher will pick the disc and print  
another scale of numbers. The disc should look  
like this:

Once the print has finished, you will see the following  
dialog box:  
Look at the finished alignment disc and pick the numbers that  
come closest to lining up with one another. For instance, on  
the disc shown in this manual, the vertical alignment is 2 and  
the horizontal alignment is 0. Enter this in the alignment dialog  
box.  
If you choose not to print the test print, you will simply see the  
alignment dialog box and can enter values to move the image.  
The unit of measure is roughly 0.1mm. Making the Horizontal  
Calibration number smaller or more negative will move the  
image slightly to the left. Making the Horizontal Calibration a  
larger value, or more positive will move the image to the right.  
If the Vertical Calibration number is made smaller, or more  
negative the image will move slightly up. If the Vertical  
Calibration is set to a larger value, or more positive value, the  
image will move down on the disc.  
Calibrate Last Disc  
Use this calibration if you frequently receive false messages  
that two discs were picked. When you press this button you  
will be prompted to place one disc in the input bin. The  
Publisher will then touch each disc with the robotic arm to set  
the correct measurement for the last disc in the bin.

Section 5: Maintenace and  
Troubleshooting  
A. INTERPRETING THE PUBLISHER’S INDICATOR LIGHTS  
The Power/Ink button can tell you what is happening inside  
the Publisher. Please refer to the following:  
Power/Ink Button  
Fast Flashing  
Publisher  
The Publisher is initializing.You will see this  
pattern when the Publisher is first turned on.  
Wait until the lights stop blinking before  
opening software or starting jobs.  
Slow Flashing  
The cover is open and the ink cartridge carrier  
is in change position. Insert a new cartridge  
and close the cover. (The slow flashing light  
can also indicate an out of media condition,  
a robotic error or a picking problem. However,  
these conditions are always paired with a error  
message on screen.)  
B. CLEANING THE PUBLISHER  
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to oil or grease the Publisher's Robotic Arm shaft  
or other components. You will likely cause more harm than good!  
Any moving parts are designed to operate for the life of the machine  
with no additional lubrication required.  
Use a clean, lint-free rag with a small amount of ammonia  
window cleaner to clean the Publisher's outside case and  
trays. This type of cleaner is very effective on inks that may  
accumulate on the printer tray. Stronger cleaning solutions are  
NOT recommended because they may damage the paint and  
plastic materials from which the parts are manufactured.  
Always disconnect your Publisher's power cords before  
cleaning. Resume operation only after the surfaces are  
completely dry.  
44 Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
C. PERFORMING A ROBOTIC SELF-TEST  
To ensure that everything is working properly, a Self-Test  
feature is built in to your Publisher. In this mode, the Robotic  
Disc Transporter will go through the motions of picking and  
placing a disc to ensure proper working order. This test may be  
performed without connecting the Publisher to the PC.  
Perform the test by doing the following steps:  
Load some discs into the Input Bin.  
Open the cover.  
Press and hold the power button for five seconds. The test  
will start.  
To stop the test, close the cover and press the power  
button.  
D. CLEANING THE INK CARTRIDGE  
It may be necessary to clean the ink cartridge nozzles if you  
notice reduced print quality, or if you suspect an cartridge noz-  
zle has become slightly dried out or clogged. If you are having  
print quality problems, follow the steps below:  
1. Remove the print cartridge.  
2. Moisten a lint-free cloth with water.  
3. Hold the cloth against the  
nozzles for three seconds.  
This will “wick” some  
additional ink onto the damp  
cloth.  
4. Wipe in the direction shown.  
5. Repeat the process.
