Creating Discs on a Mac
The following is a description of the printer driver settings:
•
Cartridge to use
The
Black and Color
setting will use both cartridges when
printing your image. Color will only use the Color
Cartridge, and
Black Only
will only use the monochrome
cartridge for printing.
•
Kiosk Mode
Kiosk Mode will allow you to increase the capacity of your
Publisher from 50 to 100 discs by dispensing finished discs
out the front of the unit instead of dropping them to the
output bin. This allows you to place blank discs in both
the input and output bins doubling your capacity.
Attach the Kiosk Kit to the Publisher using the Kiosk Kit
installation instructions that came with your publisher.
This setting will be overridden by the Kiosk Mode setting
in Discribe's Robot Write or Job Details Pane.
•
Print Quality
There are three options for image quality. Keep in mind
that Normal provides the fastest print at lower quality
while Best delivers the best quality at a slower print speed.
•
Disc Surface Quality
This setting also affects the Quality of the printed image
by altering the color matching profile. Start with the
default setting for fastest printing and the least ink
consumption. If the quality needs improvement, move
to the next highest setting.
•
Color Matching
Graphic
mode is best used for graphical images where
accurate color reproduction is not as essential. Images
printed in this mode will look more vibrant because more
ink is being used to produce them. However, printing
images of people may produce skin tones that have a red-
dish tint.
Photo
mode is best used for photographic images where
accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images print-
ed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in
Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural
in this mode.
NOTE:
Exact color matching of the printed discs to the screen may never
be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers
control. The surface of the disc reacts with the ink in the cartridge to
produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to
different brands of discs with different printable surfaces the printed
output can look entirely different.
