The GX-2 Disc Publisher and PrintWrite 

Microboards PrintWrite is required to control the Burn and Print functionality of the Microboards GX-2 
Disc Publisher.  It is able to set up publishing jobs, load the GX , burn to the loaded disc, unload the 
disc, and then print the image you have selected. 

PrintWrite will automatically find your GX-2 Disc Publisher the robotics and printer when the 
application is opened.  Having more than one robotic system connected to the Mac is not supported. 

Please see the Microboards PrintWrite manual for more information on using PrintWrite. 

Print Only without PrintWrite 

While PrintWrite does include a Print Only project type, you can print from any application to the GX-2 
Disc Publisher.  When printing using the GX-2 Disc Publisher from any application, you should always 
choose 

GX Series

 and 

120mm disc

 in the 

Format For

 and 

Paper Size 

Page Setup selections, 

respectively.

It is highly recommended that the image you are printing is 120mm by 120mm.  Having a 
different size image may result in the improper placement of the image on the disc. 

The robotics will not be available to load the media from any application other than PrintWrite, so you 
will need to load the media manually.  There are 2 important considerations to keep in mind when 
loading media manually: 

•

Each disc must be manually placed on the belts below the input hopper rather than in the 
input hopper itself. 

•

You can only load one disc at a time.  If you place more than one disc on the belts at once, or 
place a disc on the belts before the belts have completed the unloading of the prior printed 
disc, the printer will generate an error and must be power cycled to clear the error. 

Printing prior to burning any media is not recommended!!
