If you plan to print a large number of CDs or DVDs, it's a good idea to print a small sample, then wait a day and check the quality to make sure it's satisfactory. If you want to check the print position or color, see your on-screen User's Guide or Printer Basics book. Before you insert a CD or DVD, make sure the printer is turned on.

Open the front cover, then set the front tray to the CD/DVD position by pulling the tray lever down. Caution: Before you move the tray lever, make sure no paper or other objects are on the front tray and the front tray is not extended. Do not touch the front tray when you move the tray lever. Do not move the tray lever while the printer is printing. 3. Place the CD or DVD on the CD/DVD tray with the white or printable side face-up. Make sure the disc lies flat in the tray. 8 - Epson Stylus Photo R260 9/06
