Printer Installation
Now let us have a look into the installation of the Printer itself. First it is said that this is a totally unspectacular procedure, when looking into the users manual or into the Quick Start guide we will find a very detailed and easy to understand description of the necessary tasks.
After inserting the Primera product CD, this is the first screen which appears. Here we can choose what we like to do. Besides Language selection we can choose if we like to proceed with a standard installation, contact Primera or if we prefer to perform a user defined installation. Since we are very new to this type of hardware, we select a standard installation in English.
The next window, basically tells us that this installer will guide us through the installation procedure.
Primera wants to make the installation of the unit as easy as possible. Step 1 of the installation procedure is shown in the picture above and by reading the descriptions for each step, we will find out that the installation of the unit is a very simple task, possible to do for everyone.
Step 2 tells us to load 20 blank discs into the disc holder of the unit.
Step 3 basically tells us how to connect the Primera Disc Publisher SE to our PC via the USB 2.0 cable. The installer also tells us that we will get a message that the software has not passed the Windows logo test and how we have to continue when this message appears. Once more a very good advice for every novice and low-level PC user.
Once the unit is detected from the system, the Windows “Add Hardware” dialog opens.
In the next window, we can choose how we want to install the unit. We select the automatic installation option.
The next window shows the, in step 3 mentioned message, that the software hasn’t passed the Windows Logo test. We select “continue installation”.
The Hardware installation is now finished and we continue with step 4 of the Disc Publisher SE installation.
Step 4 and Step 5 gives us detailed instructions on how to insert the ink cartridge into the printer unit.
Next, the installer will automatically align the cartridge. To perform this task, the Disc Publisher will automatically print and scan a pattern onto an empty disc.
The Disc Publisher SE installation process is now complete. If we like to change the settings for the printer we only need to browse Printers and Faxes in our Windows Control Panel and choose the printer device.
Let us now continue with the installation of the Software…

Thanks for writing this helpfull article.
I tried the disk quality test (C1/C2 errors) with Nero CD-DVD Speed on my LG drive and it tells me "Invalid Command Operation Code". This obviously means that my LG drive does not support reporting error statistics.
Now my question:
I want to buy a new DVD drive that allows me to check the error rate on my DVDs.
But how do I take the decision which one to buy ?
I already read that there are some drives from Plextor, Benq and LiteOn and others that support this feature and that these are called "Scanners".
But what are the differences between them and where do I find a comparison of these drives and user experiences? The best would be a test in a computer magazine.
I suppose that not all drives support all features.
What are your experiences?
Thanks
