 The MX Disc Publisher and Zulu2 

20 

Zulu2 and Print Only Mode 

While the MX Disc Publisher was designed to be operated in Burn and Print mode, you can also use 
the MX as a disc printer.  SureThing Disc Labeler software is included with the MX Disc Publisher, but 
you can print using many applications.  The image being printed should always be 120mm by 
120mm. 

Selecting the 

Print

Only

 option in the Robotics menu will launch SureThing.  You will be able to print 

directly from SureThing. 

While Zulu2 is actively running a Zulu2 action, the robotics will be controlled solely through Zulu2; any 
other application will not cause the printer to load a disc to be printed.  Once that action completes, 
the robotics are automatically released. 

If Zulu2 is not closed correctly for whatever reason, the robotics may not be released and discs may 
not be loaded onto the belt from the input hopper.  If this should occur, simply re-launch Zulu2, go into 
the 

Robotics

 menu, and select 

Utilities

.   

Click the 

Print Only Mode

 button to force Zulu2 to release the robotics.  Please note that if you start 

another Zulu2 action, the robotics will be controlled through Zulu2 again. 

Click 

OK

 to close the Utilities. 

Zulu2 Robotics Utilities 

Aside from the Print Only Mode button described above, there are 3 other utilities available. 

Enable Configure Dialog 

Checking this option will enable the Zulu2 configuration dialog. 

Exercise Belts 

This function will run a Belt Exerciser function, running the belts for 
approximately 10 seconds.  No disc is needed for this function.  

Unload the Drive 

This function will unload the MX drive and reject any disc unloaded. 

Zulu2 Temporary Files and Vista 

Microsoft Vista includes a security feature called 
the User Account Control, which is by default on.  
Because of this security feature, the location of any 
temporary files must be specified or Vista will not 
allow the files to be stored. 

Select 

Options

 under the Zulu2 

Tools

 menu, then 

click the 

Temporary Files

 tab.  Select the 

This 

specific folder

 option, browse to a location, then 

click 

OK

. 

Temporary files are used by Zulu2 during 
Streaming mode and Disc-to-Disc duplication.
