Placing/Removing a Printable Disc

Before Placing a Printable Disc

A printable disc differs from regular disc (BD/DVD/CD, etc.) in that its label surface has been specially processed or printing by an inkjet printer.

The following items are needed to print onto the printable disc.

  • Multi-purpose tray (supplied with the printer)

    The multi-purpose tray is stored in the multi-purpose tray storage compartment of the paper output tray.

  • 4.72 in. (12 cm) printable disc

    Obtain a printable disc with a label surface compatible with inkjet printing.

Placing a Printable Disc

To print onto a printable disc, place it on the supplied multi-purpose tray, and then insert it into the printer.

This procedure also applies to printing from a computer.
