These instructions are written to apply to all models. For example there are no special instructions for burning Blu-ray discs if you have a Blu-ray model. The software simply recognizes that you have Blu-ray capable drives and adds the BDR media type to the list of available media to burn. B. CHOOSING A GOOD LOCATION • Place the Publisher in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up. You will need at least 15.25" (38.73 cm) of over-head space to fully open the cover. • Do not place the Publisher near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a...

D. IDENTIFYING THE PARTS Front Panel and Top This illustration shows the Publisher and its components. Cover Ink Cartridge Carrier Power/Ink Button CD/DVD Recorder Drive Recorder Tray Button Extendable Output Bin The Robotic Arm moves discs from the Input Bin, to a CD/ DVD Recorder, to the printer, and finally to the Output Bin. The CD/DVD Recorder is automatically loaded and unloaded by the Publisher's Robotic Arm. The Recorder Tray Button manually opens or closes the Recorder Tray. In normal operation, the in/out movement of the Recorder Tray is controlled automatically and this button is...

With the cover closed, the Power/Ink Button turns the Publisher's power OFF if pressed and held for five seconds. Press it quickly to turn power back on. When already powered on quickly pressing the power button will open and close the printer tray. When the front cover is open, the Power/Ink Button is used to position the Cartridge Carrier for easy ink cartridge replacement. The Input/Output Bins are situated under the top cover of the Publisher. The right-side bin is the Input Bin for blank media. The bin will hold up to 20 discs. The Output bin is located in front of the recorder drive....

E. 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 Arm will first check your recorder drive for a disc by attempting to"pick" from the recorder. Then, the Robotic Arm will pick a disc from the Input Bin. 3. The Recorder Tray opens automatically and the Robotic Arm places a disc into the recorder....

9. 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 Arm moves the finished disc to the Output Bin. 10. The Robotic Arm will now load the second recorded disc into the Printer Tray for printing. 11. The process starts over and repeats until all blank discs are gone or the number you have specified via software are copied and printed.

Section 2: Hardware Setup Setup This section will describe the step-by-step process of setting up your Publisher. This includes information on how to load the supplies (ink and disc media) necessary to start producing discs. A. 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 3E and 3F for further printer...

The Publisher will automatically position the cartridge carrier and Robotic Arm to allow for easy access to the bin. Load the Input Bin (the bin located on the right-hand side of the Publisher) with up to 20 blank discs. B. INSTALLING THE INK CARTRIDGE 1. With the cover open, press the Power/Ink Button to move the Ink Cartridge Carrier to the load position. 2. Open the cartridge cover by pressing down on the tab.

3. Remove the ink cartridge from its packaging. Slowly remove the tape covering the cartridge's print head. 4. Insert the ink cartridge into the carrier, copper end first and snap the cartridge cover in place. 5. Close the Publisher's front cover. 6. You will be prompted to align the cartridge in PTPublisher as soon as the software is opened. Follow the procedures displayed on screen. Note: An alignment print is required every time you install a new cartridge. The software will always prompt you to align the cartridges. Make sure there is an unprinted disc in the bin for this alignment.

There are two main components to creating discs, printing and burning. For PC, SureThing CD Labeler is used to design the image to print on the disc. For Mac, Disc Cover is used to design the image to print on the disc. For Mac and PC, PTPublisher controls the recording and allows you to select the image to be printed to your discs. Every effort was made to make them look and function the same. However, due the unique benefits and limitations of both operating systems there are subtle differences. Where important, those differences will be highlighted. In general, these instructions...
