System Set-up:

Once the unit is connected to the computer, the burner of the unit is detected as external USB device “Matshita BD-MLT SW-5582 USB device”.

Another screenshot from Nero Infotool:

From the Nero InfoTool screenshot above we can find some more details which we already know from our Matshita BD-MLT SW-5582 review here and since we have already a review of this drive posted we want to focus more on the usage of the Pimera Disc Publisher SE unit in this review.

Printer Features and Settings

After the installation procedure (which is described closer a bit later in this review) of the Disc Publisher unit, it is detected by the system in the same way like other, regular printing devices. We can find it in the “Printers” section in our operating system.

By right clicking and selecting properties, we can make some custom settings.

Here we can define,

• Paper size which is in our case the Disc diameter
• Orientation
• Non-printable outer margin
• Print Quality
• Disc Surface Quality
• Color Matching
• Inner Diameter
• Cartridge Alignment
• Center the Print Image
• Clean/Change Cartridge
• Enable Bi-di Printing

Used Software

The computer is running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and for this review we will use the following software.

• PTPublisher
• SureThing CD Label Software Primera Edition
