C. HARDWARE SETUP
To connect your new publisher, please do the following:
Be sure you have removed the packing tape and cardboard insert prior to applying power.
Step 1: Applying Power
• Locate the power adapter supplied with your Publisher.
• Place one end of the adapter cord into the power port on the rear panel of the Publisher.
• Unit will initialize for approximately 30 seconds.
Step 2: Loading Media (Discs)
NOTE: Your Publisher can print directly onto virtually any brand of 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 or 3F 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.
