The GX-1 Disc Publisher and Discribe
Discribe is the application used to control the Burn and Print functionality of the Microboards GX-1. It
is able to set up publishing jobs, load the GX-1, burn to the loaded disc, unload the disc, and then
print the image you have selected.
Discribe should automatically find your GX-1 Disc Publisher and initialize the robotics and printer
when the application is opened. If the GX-1 does not initialize, you should verify the robotics
selection. This may happen if you have more than one robotic system connected to the Mac.
To check the robotics, select Test
Robotics… from the Discribe
Utilities menu.
If you have more than one robotic
system connected to your Mac, you
will need to have the Microboards
GX selected as the Robot. To verify
that you have made the correct
selections, click the Test Robot
button and follow the directions
provided in the test page.
The Open and Close buttons are used to verify that the correct drive has been selected. If a drive
other than that in the Microboards GX-1 responds to these buttons, the correct drive has not been
selected.
Click OK when the robotics are set correctly.
Please see the Discribe for Microboards Disc Publishers manual for more information on using
Discribe.
Print Only without Discribe
While Discribe does include a Print Only function under the Utilities menu, you can print from any
application to the GX-1 Disc Publisher. When printing using the GX-1 Disc Publisher from any
application, you should always choose GX Series and 120mm disc in the Format For and Paper
Size Page Setup selections, respectively.
It is highly recommended that the image you are printing is 120mm by 120mm. Having a
different size image may result in the improper placement of the image on the disc.
The robotics will not be available to load the media from any application other than Discribe, so you
will need to load the media manually. There are 2 important considerations to keep in mind when
loading media manually:
• Each disc must be manually placed on the belts below the input hopper rather than in the
input hopper itself.
• You can only load one disc at a time. If you place more than one disc on the belts at once, or
place a disc on the belts before the belts have completed the unloading of the prior printed
disc, the printer will generate an error and must be power cycled to clear the error.
Printing prior to burning any media is not recommended!!
