Subject: Epson 900 direct printing on PCB

From: Bora Dikmen <bora_dikmen@...>

Hi Lez,

R220 can also print onto CDs. It has a narrow (1/3 of
A4) CD tray. I tried to print PCB via this utility but
it failed. The sensor in the printing head carefully
search a white blank CD is inserted in the right
place.

If it can not detect such a thing, it gives an error
of
"CD is not properly located in the CD tray" and
refused
to print.

Are you sure that we can print on A4 very easily?

What you mean by "opto alignments etc, spot on
everytime"?

If you use the print CD utility, I have serious doubts
:-)

Best,

Dr.
