Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker - Manual (Page 26)

printable diameter or hole
diameter (118 millimeters and 41 millimeters, respectively, for CDs and DVDs), you can use
this dialog to set the diameters to match the printable discs you're using.
* when your printer doesn't feed a particular label efficiently, and as a result, the farther down
or across the page you go, the less well aligned your labels are. Label sheets that are folded in
half to fit in the box you buy them in are particularly prone to this problem. When this occurs,
you can use this dialog to resize or reposition the particular labels that don't line up correctly in
your printer.
Why would I use this dialog instead of the Alignment dialog (the one you can launch
from the Print dialog or the Preferences dialog)?
The regular Alignment dialog makes changes that only apply to a particular printer, but to all
labels on all paper types (except plain paper and printable CDs) that you print with that printer.
So it works best if your printer has an alignment problem that always manifests itself in the
same way no matter what kind of paper you're using. This dialog, on the other hand, lets you
make changes that apply to all the printers you've got, but only to particular labels on particular
paper types. It's best for changing the diameters of printable CDs and DVDs to match the
media you're using, and for quirky alignment problems that only occur with particular types of
paper.
The Top Half of the "Edit Paper Templates" Dialog:
The top half of the "Edit Paper Templates" dialog contains controls for choosing the label you
want to edit.The listbox under the "Template Name:" heading lists all the paper types & direct-
to-CD printer templates installed in the software. Scroll through and click on the paper type you
want to edit, and a thumbnail of the paper's layout will appear on the right side of the dialog.
The currently selected label on your selected paper type will be highlighted in green on this
thumbnail; to edit a different label, just click on its image in the thumbnail.
The "Front of Sheet" checkbox will usually be disabled. However, if you're editing a paper type
that has different labels on the front and back of the sheet, this box will be enabled and you
can click on it to toggle between views of the front and back of your selected label paper. If
you've got a label such as a jewel case insert that prints on both the front and back of the
sheet, you won't be able to select it on the back-of-the-sheet view; if you need to edit it, you'll
have to edit it from the front-of-sheet view.
The Bottom Half of the "Edit Paper Templates" Dialog:
The "Adjustments for Selected Label" section is where you can change the size and
position of the label you've selected. Here's a summary of the controls on this part of the
dialog:
Move by (left/right): This allows you to move a label to the left or right on the page -- or more
accurately, to make the label maker behave as if the label has moved. Units are in millimeters.
The label's position on the thumbnail in the top half of the dialog will update as you change the
amounts, so if you're confused about what left and right mean in this context, just play with the
control, and you'll soon see.
