20 Using the CD Color Printer with Windows

Manual Load

Select this option when you are printing multiple copies of a
single design or if using an auto-loader. If you do not select
this option when printing multiple copies, the printer has no
way of knowing whether or not you have loaded a blank CD
and will print each of the selected number of copies onto the
same CD. When this option is selected, you must press the

CD Tray button after each new CD blank is loaded. This

will close the CD Tray and let the printer know that a fresh CD
is installed and ready to be printed.

Write Direct to Port

Select this option to provide faster print processing if printing
from Windows 3.1x. When selected, this option allows the
printer driver to bypass the Windows 3.1x print manager and
to send all print data directly to the printer. This option
devotes all of your system resources to the current print job,
thereby increasing overall print speed. When the print job is
finished, your system resources will again be devoted to the
normal function of your on-screen applications.

Depending upon the brand of your computer, you may or may
not wish to select this option when printing. For most
computers, selecting this option will enhance the rasterizing
and printing process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port
option should be selected. For some computers, however, this
option may not be supported by the particular brand of PC and
should not be selected.

Fast 32-bit Spooler

Select this option for consistently faster print processing under
Windows 95/98. This option is only selectable if operating
under Windows 95/98 and if the included 32-Bit Print Spooler
software has been installed. When selected, this option allows
the printer driver to send all print jobs to the 32-Bit Print
Spooler rather than to the Windows system print spooler. See
Part C of this section for complete details on the 32-Bit Print
Spooler. This option and the 32-Bit Print Spooler software will
not function in Windows 3.1x or Windows NT.
