13. Introduction to Pingo-Photo Rep
The Pingo Photo by Alea Systems, inc. is a PC controlled state-of-the-art, tabletop color ink jet printer for printing
on the surfaces of printable-surfaced, recordable compact discs. The printer delivers professional CDs without
the costs and efforts associated with the silk screen process. With the Alea Pingo Photo , image files are printed
directly onto ink-jet printable CD-R media as they appear on the computer screen.
The heart of the Pingo Photo is a modified Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 9xx,2400 x 1200 DPI ink jet printer engine.
The modifications include increasing the "paper thickness" to accomodate the thickness of a CD-R disc and
providing the means to properly position a printable CD-R when the printer normally would load a sheet of paper.
Load control is derived from the printer's movements; therefore, no special software is required. Any program or
system that will print using the HP printer drivers will operate the Pingo Photo . The printer controller functions
are totally independent of the data stream between the computer and printer.
The Pingo Photo is controlled by a Windows-based computer running any desktop application with printer output
capability. This manual describes the exact placement of text and objects for proper print output to the Pingo
Photo . While paint, draw, illustration and page layout applications are best for print output, any application with
location-specific output control will work.
The CD-carrier mechanism is designed for precise operation and close-tolerance print placement.
