System Requirements

The Microboards G3 Disc Publisher has the following minimum requirements and compatibilities:

Operating System

Mac OS 10.5

Processors

Intel Processor is required

System Memory

Minimum 1 GB of system memory

Hard Drive

A separate internal 7200 RPM hard drive is recommended for storing your data. Using the same

hard drive as the operating system can cause the system to perform slowly.

USB Connection

USB 2.0 is required. USB 1.1 is not supported, as using USB 1.1 will result in significantly longer

recording times and the potential for recording failures.

Assembly and Installation

Assembly Instructions

G3 Disc Publisher Assembly

Remove the G3 Disc Publisher

system from the shipping box and

confirm you received all of the

items.

Place the G3 Disc Publisher on a

stable, flat surface. You will need

room both in front and behind the

system, as discs will be accessed

from both locations.

The Input Bin posts are pre-

installed, with the wide post to the

right.

The 50-disc Output Bin is shipped in

place under the front cover. Lift the

cover to remove the packaging tape

from the Output Bin.

MICROBOARDS TECHNOLOGY, LLC G3 DISC PUBLISHER

Installing Ink Cartridges

Supported Ink Cartridges

The G3 Disc Publisher uses a single color ink cartridge. The part number for this cartridge is GX-

300HC. If other cartridges are installed, the G3 Disc Publisher will not function. These cartridges are

available from any Microboards reseller.

Refill kits or non-Microboards ink cartridges are not recommended for use in the G3

Disc Publisher system. Use of these types of cartridges will cause the printer to fail

and will void the warranty.

Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges

Cartridges should be changed while the G3 Disc Publisher is on. The cartridge can be replaced

during printing.

The G3 Disc Publisher system ships with one Microboards GX-300HC color ink cartridge.

•Lift the front cover with the power on. The ink cartridge cradle will move to the right side of

the G3 Disc Publisher, as shown below.

•Tilt the old cartridge forward to release the cartridge from the cradle, as shown in the inset

below.

•Lift the old cartridge out of the cradle.

•Remove the new GX-300HC ink cartridge from its packaging and carefully remove the plastic

tape. Hold the ink cartridge so that the copper strip is at the bottom.

•With the front of the new GX-300HC ink cartridge tilted down, slide the cartridge into the

cradle.

•Tilt the front of the GX-300HC ink cartridge back up to lock the ink cartridge in place.

•Lower the front cover.

•The new GX-300HC ink

cartridge will be initialized

by the printer.

The Microboards GX-300HC

Ink Cartridge must be used

or the printer will not

function.

Loading Discs

The next step is to load your G3 Disc Publisher with discs. The system will accept CD or DVD 120

mm (12 cm) inkjet printable discs. If the disc does not have an inkjet printable surface, the ink will not

adhere to the surface of the disc. The G3 Disc Publisher will only accept 12 cm discs. Business card

or 8 cm discs are not supported by this system.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Load the first 5 or 6 discs flat, as seen in figure 1.

Load the rest of the discs at an angle, against the wide input rod, as seen in figure 2.

The G3 Disc Publisher will hold a maximum of 50 discs. DO NOT load more than 50 discs in the

system, as this may cause the discs to feed incorrectly.

Front Control Panel

The AC power switch located on the back of the G3 Disc Publisher must be turned on first in order to

supply power to the Front Control Panel.

The Power Button on the front panel of the G3 Disc Publisher turns the G3 Disc Publisher Printer on

and off. It may take a few seconds for the G3 Disc Publisher Printer to turn on after you press the

Power Button. This does not affect power to the drive within the G3 Disc Publisher.

To turn off the power to the printer using the Control Panel, you will need to press and hold the Power

Button for 3 seconds. Once the Ink Light, Media Light, and Power Light begin flashing, you can

release the Power Button.

The green Power/Activity light flashes when the printer is active, either while printing or initializing.

The Cancel Button can be used to discontinue printing. When using PrintWrite, this will only affect

the current disc being printed. If printing through other applications, this will either cancel the entire

print job or just the current disc depending on the label being printed and the application being used.

Any disc being printed when the Cancel button is pressed will be ejected into the Output bin.

If a disc is not detected

during printing, the Media

Light will flash. Verify that

you have discs in the input

hopper and press the Media

Light to load and print the

next disc.

The Ink Light will come on if

the ink cartridge is low or

empty.
