    • Disc Labeler Printing

      • My printer takes too long OR the printout does not resemble the design on the screen.

        These problems can occurs from several reasons. Many times this effects laser printers.

        Your printer has trouble with our ink saving “clip to label” feature. To remedy this issue, click on File, Print, click on Advanced, and uncheck the box that says “Clip graphics and text to design to label boundaries”, hit OK, and print.

        Download and install the latest drivers for your printer. The latest printer driver software can be found on the printer manufacturer’s web site.
        You could be using images that are too large to print. The fact of the matter is, you don’t need more than 300 dpi for printing purposes. If the size of the image is 5 inches by 5 inches and when you print the image on paper it’s 5 inches by 5 inches, you will only need 300 dpi to print the image at the max resolution your printer can handle

      • How do I print multiple copies of the same design?

        With the design open, click on File, Print. This will launch the Print dialog box.

        In the Print dialog box there will be an option for Number of copies to print. Increase the number of copies to the amount you would like to print.

      • How do I adjust the center hole size for my Primera or Microboards printer?

        You can increase the printing towards the center of the disc by decreasing the Inner diameter field in your printer’s driver software. To access this setting, go to the File menu, Print, and click on Options. For more information on your printer, you will need to consult the printer manual or manufacturer.

      • How to calibrate the printer?
          Choose the Calibrate Printer command from the File menu. The Calibrate Printer dialog box appears.Confirm that the correct printer is listed in the Printer field.Place all the values back to 0.Pull out any paper in your printer and make sure to put in one full label sheet.Press the Print Calibration Sheet button to print on an actual label sheet.Fold the Calibration Sheet according to the printed instructions and enter the values in the Offset fields.

        Note: The only field you should have to change is the Offset Page Vertical.
        Your printer will now be offset by these values to accommodate for any errors in precision.

      • How can I speed up ink dry time? How to prevent splotches and color melding?

        You can try adjusting your print quality, paper type, speed etc. Go to the File menu, click on Print, make sure your printer is selected and click on Options. I would recommend lowering the quality, using your printer’s plain paper type setting if available, and speeding the print up - if available. All those things should help lower the ink saturation and therefore, hopefully avoid smearing.

      • My design or label is printing off.

        Make sure you are printing to the correct template.

        To change your template, click on the template description above your design.
        And then choose the respective template for your label, insert, printer, or drive.

        If you do not see your template, then you might need to start a New Project.

        If after changing your template, it is still off then…

        1. You do not have the correct template.
        2. You need to adjust your ‘Page Setup’ OR ‘Calibrate Printer’ settings by going to the File menu.
        3. Page Setup HelporCalibrate Printer Help
      • How do I customize a template or make changes?

        Go to the File menu, and click on Page Setup. You will see the following screen:
        You can customize any of the template, or “printing” values, in here. These are the numbers that tell the printer where to print. If you’re unsure what one of these values corresponds to, simply place your mouse cursor in the respective field box, and read the description below the Preview on the right.

        This is a sheet break down that might help as well.

      • Where can I find the print progress?

        At the bottom-right hand corner of your screen you will see an icon for the SureThing Print Manager when printing. Open this to view your progress.

      • What printer settings should I use?

        Printer driver settings are you unique for each brand, manufacturer, model, etc of printers - so unfortunately, there isn’t an exact setting we can provide. Use your best judgment, test it out, and see.

      • How to create a custom CD/DVD printer template?

        You can create a custom template. Change your template by clicking on the template that you think most closely matches your own. and hit OK. Now go to the File menu and click on Page Setup. You will need to adjust these fields to your labels/printers specifications. If you are unsure what one of the fields corresponds to, click within the field for a description on the right.
        You can also save as a template by changing the Name field at the top, and clicking Save Template at the bottom.

        To start a new Project using your Template, go to the File menu, New, click on Select Label (if you haven’t already done so), and you will see -Templates listed under the first column for Media Type.

        To switch an existing label type to the new one, click the template name above your design, and you will see under Media Type (first column) and option for Templates. Select your custom template and hit OK.

      • Nothing is printing - How to do a Windows Test Print?

        Can you do a Windows Test Print?
        SUMMARY: Ensure your printer is working correctly with your Windows system.
        If you’ve recently installed a printer with Windows , or if you have recently cleaned a printer, you may find it useful to print a test page to make sure everything is ok. Are the connections secured? Is the printer driver working? Is the printer clean and output jobs free of smudges and blemishes?

        1. Click “Start”, then “Printers…” or “Devices and Printers”.
        2. Right-click on a printer and choose “Properties”. You might have to click on “Printers” again and then right click on the printer and choose Properties.
        3. When the “Properties” multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the button “Print Test Page”.
        4. If nothing happens, then you have a printer issue and will need to contact the printer manufacturer. If you cannot print a test page, then you have a printer issue. Please consult the printer manual or manufacturer.
      • The printer is mis-feeding even after calibration.

        If your printer is feeding differently each time, there is no way to fix that programatically.

        To help with feeding, pull out any paper in your printer and print only one sheet at a time.

        Most labels sheets are well within operating tolerances of most modern printers. Try contacting the printer manufacturer if you are still having issues.

        When you print, the crop marks will print, showing you where to cut.

        You can turn on Crop Marks for everything and anything, by going to the File menu, Print, Advanced, and check Print Crop Marks, hit OK, and Print.

        With your design open click on File, Scan Images, Acquire Image or Acquire Image as Background (if you’re going to use the image as a background for the design).

        Your scanner software will now be launched.

If you do not do so that whole scanner bed will be scanned, and the image will appear really small with lots of white space around it. Please make sure you use the scanner software’s selection tool to select exactly the area which you wish to scan.

        Once the scan is complete the image will load directly into SureThing.

        If your scanner software is having trouble with SureThing, you might want to check to see if there are better drivers available for your scanner. Check the manufacturer’s website to see if there is new software to download.

      • What is cropping and How to crop?

        You need to crop the image before bringing it into SureThing. Here’s an excerpt from ScanTips.com: “To describe the position of the subject on the glass bed to the scanner, you use the mouse to mark a rectangle on the image of the bed, describing the area you want to scan (that’s the dashed line). You can mark the entire photo area, or can crop the image to be scanned, by marking only a part of it, or perhaps just a 1-inch square area from it. The Scan button will then scan only the area that you have marked with the mouse.”

        Provided you crop the image, it will come in sized appropriately. If not, you can then use Size and Position in SureThing (from the Backgrounds panel on the left) to then pull the image in/out and resize.

      • How to scan?

        Before you attempt to scan an image, be sure your TWAIN compatible device is attached to your printer, and is turned on. Then follow these steps:

Click and drag the mouse on the image to outline the part of the image to keep. The part you outline appears highlighted. You can see the dimensions of the area change (height x width in pixels) as you drag the mouse. Click the Save button to see the results. Or, to start over, click Clear Crop.
      • Other scanner error, issue, or problem?

        SureThing does not technically scan. SureThing calls your scanner software, and then it returns the image to us via one of two methods: Twain or WIA drivers. If you are having an issue scanning, please visit the Scanner manufacturer’s website and reinstall, update, or try an alternate Twain or WIA driver - and then try SureThing again.

    • Pictures

      • How to use the Transparency Tool

        The transparency tool will take one color on your image and define it as transparent.
        First select the picture that will have a transparent area on it.

        Select the transparency tool by going into the Tools menu and then select Object Tools, Transparency Tool. Now your mouse cursor will turn into the Transparency Tool icon. Move the transparency tool to the color you wish to define as transparent and click on it.

        Now, if you have a complex image, chances are there are many shades of color similar to the one you are defining as transparent. The are as many as 16 million different colors in an image, so the white you choose to make transparent might be next to lots of other off-white pixels. So if your image looks blotchy when you use the transparency tool, this is why. What you need to do in this situation is edit the image in another program. Basically you need to paint all the areas that want to be transparent, one color. The paint tool in most image editing programs will work to paint exactly one color in any area you choose.

    • LightScribe

      • Can I save to .LSI (LightScribe Simple Labeler format)?

        The .lsi format is a proprietary (and limited) format that we currently do not support. We are working on it though!

      • How do I burn (print) a LightScribe disc? I don't see where it says burn?

        In the world of LightScribe, the terms “print” and “burn” are often used interchangeably for the simple reason a LightScribe drive uses the same laser to write (burn) data that it uses to print (burn) labels. The difference being which side of the disc gets burnt. Hence the LightScribe motto, “Burn, Flip, Burn.” As an aside, it doesn’t matter which burn is first. In other words, you can burn the data first or you can burn the label and burn the data later.

        To burn a label using SureThing CD/DVD Labeler, click Print Design in the Actions panel on the left, or go to the File menu and select Print. Under Print Using choose LightScribe drive. You will be prompted to insert a LightScribe disc with the label side facing down.

      • How long does it take? Why does LightScribe take so long?

        There are a few things that determine how long a LightScribe disc will take to burn a label. From LightScribe’s website: “Labeling time depends heavily on content, hardware, media and print mode used. Typically for title only content, a labeling time of 2-5 minutes can be expected. For full disc graphics in Best quality mode, labeling times of 20-35 minutes can be expected.”

        Ultimately, the time it takes is a factor of the speed and amount of print. The more there is to print, the longer it will take. Certain drives and connection types are faster than others. Also your quality/contrast level settings will effect the time. Generally, we’ve found this diagram to be useful tool when estimating the amount of time:


        The LightScribe laser burns in concentric circles from the center of the disc to the outside. If you want a fast burn, restrict your label content within the first circle (SureThing’s Circular Text tool makes this very easy). If your design includes text and graphics that span the entire surface of the disc, from center to edge, expect longer print times.

        You can place text and images in the outer regions and print in a shorter amount of time provided the inner regions do not also contain text and graphics.

      • How can I make LightScribe go faster?

        LightScribe prints from the inside of the disc to the outside. Meaning the further out the text or image, the longer it will take. SureThing’s Circular Text tool works better than Text Frames (horizontal text). Also using layouts such as “Simple Title” and “Simple Contents” that constrain the content to the innermost ring will help. You can choose your layout via the horizontal Layout bar at the bottom-middle of the screen.

        Open

        See How long does it take? Why does LightScribe take so long?” for more info.

      • Where can I see burn progress?

        At the bottom-right hand corner of your screen you will see an icon for the SureThing Print Manager when printing. Open this to view your progress. The Print Manager is your friend. It allows you to work on other projects while your LightScribe disc is printing. The Print Manager (see below) is only displayed when printing:

      • Can I print to multiple LightScribe drives simultaneously?

        Yes, with SureThing Disc Labeler you can. Go to the File menu, click on Print, click the down arrow under Drive, and choose Multiple Drives. SureThing will distribute prints across however many drives are selected by how many designs/copies there are.

      • Does LightScribe print in color?

        LightScribe only supports printing black and various shades of gray. Any color images and text in your design will print, but the color will be converted to monochrome and de-saturated. There currently isn’t a “color” LightScribe drive, per se, although LightScribe discs are available in various colors. But even with colored discs, your LightScribe drive is still burning only black and shades of gray.

      • Why is it not printing as dark as it used to?

        Download and install the latest LightScribe System software from lightscribe.com and try it again.
        This could also be a function of the media. Not all brands of LightScribe CDs and DVDs are the same. Media has a bearing on output. Some brands may appear to burn darker than others.

      • How can I make LightScribe darker?

        Make sure the Contrast Level is set to Best in SureThing. Go to File>Print, and set it there.
        Printing multiple times will make it darker. Just put the disc back in, and the drive will automatically know where to print.
        Updating the LightScribe system software can improve printing as well. Download and install the latest LightScribe System software from lightscribe.com.

      • Where can I buy a LightScribe drive and/or discs?

        Most PC electronic stores carry LightScribe drives and media. You can also buy LightScribe media direct from SureThing.com

      • How do I add a photo or image to my label designs?

        To insert an image as a background (meaning an image that covers your entire design and is flattened to the back) go to the Background panel on the left and click on Backgrounds. This will open the familiar Windows browse dialog which has two main parts: Favorite Links or Folders on the left, and the file listings on the right. Browse using the panel on the left (or the “Look In” location at the top) to the folder that contains the image you would like to use. Select it and hit OK.

        To insert an image as a picture, go to the Pictures/Clipart panel on the left and click on Browse for Pictures. This will open the familiar Windows browse dialog which has two main parts: Favorite Links or Folders on the left, and the file listings on the right. Browse using the panel on the left (or the “Look In” location at the top) to the folder that contains the image you would like to use. Select it and hit OK.

      • How do I use the LightScribe images from LightScribe.com?

        The label gallery designs from lightscribe.com are zipped (.zip) jpg images. Save them to your computer and unzip them. Open SureThing, go to the Backgrounds panel on the left and click on Select Background. At the bottom left, you might have to click the button for Custom Background. Then browse to the directory where you saved the jpg images you unzipped. Select an image and hit OK.

      • What is LightScribe Preview Mode?

        This is a feature of SureThing that lets you design and edit your LightScribe disc in a view representative of the way it will look when printed. You will seed the “gold” of the disc surface, and your images/text are displayed in monochrome (black and shades of gray).

        To turn this on/off, go to the View menu and toggle LightScribe Preview Mode.

      • I am getting strange LightScribe errors, what should I do?

        For errors such as: Communication error, Please be sure there is a LightScribe disc in the drive, LightScribe Engine Error, etc.

          Make sure the disc in the drive is a LightScribe disc, that it is clean, and face down.
        1. Download and install the latest LightScribe System software from lightscribe.com. Do this even if you believe you are up to date and “it’s working fine.”
        2. Restart, open your design (or create a new one), and try printing again.
        3. If you continue to receive error(s), you will need to contact the respective drive manufacturer for help in regards to LightScribe issues.

      • How to use Transparencies?

        SureThing allows you to blend graphics and text together to make smooth transitions and create special effects.

        1. To blend pictures or text with other objects in the design, select the object(s). You will know they are selected, because you will see the hatched line around the object.
        2. Adjust settings on the main toolbar. For pictures, lines, ellipses, and rectangles, set the Shade Transparency and Shade Color options.
        3. For blending text with the background, set the Text Color and Text Transparency options. 100% represents full opacity on the Shade Transparency or Text Transparency slider, while 0% represents full transparency.

        Everything in between represents a gradual level of blend with the objects behind the selected object.

        Note: For pictures, you cannot select a color with the Shade Color palette. When you select a picture and drag the Shade Transparency slider, the picture blends into the background.

      • How do I change from a CD to Jewel Case (one type to another)?

        After you start a new project document, you can add or remove label types easily with the Project Options menu in the right corner of the design area.
        Then click the Project Label Types command

        Choose the label types you want, such as CD Jewel Case Back Panel or DVD Insert, on the Project Label Types dialog box.

        If Coordinate is checked, then changes made on one type, will apply to all those in the project.

      • How to switch from a Legacy template to a new one?

        If the file is really old, or if it is a custom template and SureThing doesn’t know the type, you will see the ‘Legacy Template’ setting above your design. Essentially SureThing can read it in, but doesn’t know what it is and therefore, can not change the template to something else. There is a workaround, in which you can Copy all objects on your design and then Paste them onto a new one.

        Start by opening your legacy template, go to the Edit menu and click on Select All. Go back to the Edit menu and click on Copy Objects.

        Now go to the File menu, click on New, and start a new project with the appropriate template. To change your template, click on the template description above your design:

        Go to the Edit menu and hit Paste Objects. You might need to manipulate and move some of the objects until you get it just right.

        And last but not least, make sure to save your Project.

      • How to apply labels without an applicator (by hand)?

    • Errors

      • Not responding or seems to hang during the installation of the font files.

        This problem can occur due to several reasons. The Windows Font directory could be in use or not accessible so the installation cannot proceed further with the install. If you have other programs running such as an Antivirus program, try disabling them before running the SureThing installation.

        If you continue to experience difficulty with the installation, then you can try restarting the computer in Safe Mode to run the installation.
        To do this, power on or restart the computer. During the memory Check in Command Prompt, press the F8 key repeatedly until you receive a menu that allows you to boot up in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode try running the SureThing program installation. This will tell us whether there is a program/resource conflict that prevents SureThing from installing. After the install, restart the computer to return to the Normal Mode.

      • CRC - Cannot Initialize Installation’, not a ’Valid Win32 application’, ’Error Code 5’, etc

        Restart, make sure all other programs are closed, make sure you are logged in as an Administrator, and disable any antivirus software and try it again.

        If you still get this error, then it was a bad download. Download and install again. Before downloading, make sure to delete your temporary internet files to make sure that is a fresh copy. To do this, open up Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, Internet Options, and under Temporary Internet Files click on Delete Files, hit OK.

      • There are no devices compatible with this template. Would you like to print on plain paper?

        1. You have the wrong template selected. Make sure that your template matches your printer exactly. To change your template, click on the template description above your design.
        2. We haven’t added that particular printer to the printer database yet, so that message will come up. However, you can still print to that printer. When you get the message to print on plain paper, say Yes. Select your printer, click on Options, and make sure to set your printer driver settings to print on the disc, hit OK, and OK again to print.
        3. Your printer is not hooked up, on, or working.

      • Strange look, user interface, fonts, colors in SureThing?

        Try disabling or modifying any sorts of programs that might be conflicting with our application.

        SureThing is a very low-resource application. If you are experiencing strange behaviors, it could be a more serious issue.
