Disk label printing

[scrumhalf]

I have just discovered Disketch and like that's it free. I can't find an easy way to position the label contents to print on my disk labels. This may be a very silly question, but I'd really appreciate an answer. Thanks.

I am with you on that. I like the program. I bought 100 sheets of stick on labels, two per sheet but do not see how to set up the printer to print where the labels are on the 8.5x11 paper. Hello is there anybody in there??

Hello, if you have been able to solve this problem, please pass on the details for me. Many thanks. Murray.

I too am frustrated with not being able to position a disc label when printing to stick on sheets. Have you found out how to do it?

There is a new version of Disketch just about to be released which should make it much easier to print the labels. This version is just going through final test now and should be out soon.

R we talking about version 1.11? I installed today, 9/8/2009, I can't do it nor- can I adjust font sizes either!

When you have your label ready to print follow the following steps.

1. expand Label Layout Properties on the right side of the page.

2. click Edit Label Layout

3. under Template Properties change Center x and Center y to adjust where the label will print.

4. I use Memorex paper with 2 dvd/cd labels per page. I set Center x to -1.4 and Center y to -2.5. 

5. hope this helps.

Apogee 10: Your commands are not acceptable to version 2.5, however, I can change the x,y print position and nothing changes, so, that is my problem too.

My Canon 1900 series says I have a paper jam,  I've checked & I don't, and it won't print on my CD.  What do I do?   Kabby133

I have a Canon Pixma 8500 complete with disk printing tray. However, using the newly bought Disketch Plus software I cannot get the printed label to line up correctly even when I adjust the layout dimensions/parameters. I have adjusted edge distances but without managing to get near to a correct alignment, likewise the centre offsets. It's as though the software is clashing with the disk print tray setup, almost as though the edge offset is for a whole print page rather than the disk tray. Even just printing onto a label sheet I can't get the printed output to align correctly.

I also note that the help notes with the software get the X and Y mixed up, stating X is offset from top of page and Y is from left which is incorrect. But even correcting for that adjusting the centre offset did not work.

Please help (I'm trying to prepare a disk for a Christmas gift so time is pressing!!)

Thanks

I'm using an Epson X-15000 printer and I print directly on discs. I prefer printing on the full without such a large Hub Circle. Can this be removed?

Thanks for your help.

I have a very similar problem, except that I am printing on the cd or DVD direct ?

Here is your answer and it works. I recently downloaded the software and shaking my head. It took me 2 days to figure out how to print two labels on one sheet. 

PRINTING MEMOREX LABEL ONE PAGE 2 LABELS ON DISKETCH CD LABEL MAKER: how to print the label.

1.     Open the label that you want to print.

2.     On the right side of screen select LABEL LAYOUT PROPERTIES. You should see (1) colored label at the bottom of the screen.

3.     Scroll down to the bottom and check the box, USE SAME DESIGN FOR SAME TEMPLATE TYPES.

4.     A window will open titled, SAME FORMAT CHECKBOX. Click CONTINUE.

5.     Now! you should see both labels in color.

6.     Click PRINT from the Task Menu and a window opens confirming both of your labels will be printed.

7.     Click PRINT again using the print button on bottom right of screen.

8.     Here! your printer screen opens. Make sure the color is turned on.

9.     Select PRINT. The end.

NOTE: I hope these steps works for you. I did not change any measurements BUT you may have to if your labels don’t print correctly. At the very beginning make sure you have chosen the correct paper type (e.g., plain or matte or glossy.) The size of your paper (default 8x11) and the direction of your printing (Portrait or Landscape). If you change the paper direction, you will see the change in the label picture area listed under Label Layout Properties.
