System Requirements

The Microboards GX-1 Disc Publisher has the following minimum requirements and compatibilities:

Operating System

Microsoft Windows 2000 with SP4 or Windows XP with SP2.

Processor

Pentium 4 (or equivalent) CPU, running at 2.0 GHz or faster.

System Memory

Minimum 512 MB of system memory. More memory is suggested for DVD recording operation.

Hard Drive Space

Only 10MB of free space is required on the system hard drive for the applications and drivers. For

storing disc images, temporary space is needed for the full disc dimension. That could be up to about

800MB for CD or about 5 GB for DVD.

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

GX-1 Disc Publisher Assembly

Remove the GX-1 Disc Publisher system from the shipping box

and confirm you received all of the items.

Place the GX-1 Disc Publisher on a stable, flat surface. You will

need room both in front and to the left of the system, as discs will

be accessed from both locations.

The input bin posts are pre-installed, with the wide post to the

front.

The Reject Bin is pre-installed on the left side of the GX-1 Disc

Publisher. This bin, which slides out, should be emptied when

you know discs have been rejected.

Slide the 50-disc Output Bin into the channel between the feet at

the front of the GX-1 Disc Publisher.

Installing Ink Cartridges

Supported Ink Cartridges

The GX-1 Disc Publisher uses a single color ink cartridge. The part number for this cartridge is GX-

200HC. If other cartridges are installed, the GX-1 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 GX-1 Disc

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

types of cartridges will void the warranty.

Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges

Cartridges can be changed while the GX-1 Disc Publisher is on, but it should never be turned on

without an ink cartridge in place.

The GX-1 Disc Publisher system ships with one GX-200HC color ink cartridge.

•Remove the front cover. The print cartridge cradle will be on the right side of the GX-1 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 print cartridge from its packaging and carefully remove the plastic tape.

Hold the print cartridge so that the copper strip is at the bottom.

•With the front of the new ink cartridge tilted down, slide the cartridge into the cradle.

•Tilt the front of the cartridge back up to lock the ink cartridge in place.

•Replace the front cover.

Loading Discs

The next step is to load your GX-1 Disc Publisher with output 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 GX-1 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 GX-1 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.
