4. With no disc on the Prism printer drawer, press the Prism’s Unit Attention button
to open or close the drawer and hold it for about 5 seconds. You may hear a beep
and the Prism’s Activity light will turn on and remain lit.
5. Release the Unit Attention button. The Prism’s Activity light will continue to
flash slowly for as long as the Prism is in Autoprinter mode.
If the Activity and Error lights flash together, this indicates that there is a
communication failure between the Prism printer and the transporter base. If this
occurs, verify that the serial cable is properly connected between the Prism printer
and transporter, and that the transporter is powered on.
To set the Prism printer back to its normal mode, repeat the process so that the
Activity light does not flash after you release the Unit Attention button.
Positioning the CD on the Drawer
The CD must be placed directly on the print drawer’s rubber pad with the convex
ridge (stacking ring) towards the print pad. This ridge is located around the hole of
the CD and can be felt if you gently run your finger across it. See the figure below.
Place the CD on the rubber pad between the two Alignment pins and the Centering
pin (See figure below). If the CD is resting on the Alignment pins, the printer will not
close the print drawer to start printing.
Note: The print pad and plate vary between the standalone, automated models. The
automated models have a hole through the center of the plate, and the standalone
model does not. All models have a centering pin.
