about your printer.
About This Manual
This manual covers operation of the CW-75 DISC TITLE PRINTER only. For
details about using the label layout software that comes bundled with the
printer, see the User’s Guide on the DISC TITLE PRINTER Application CD-
ROM.
Important!
About the Bundled CD-ROM and CD-R
• In this manual, the term “printer” refers to the CASIO CW-75 DISC TITLE
PRINTER.
• In this manual, the term “label layout software” refers to the DISC TITLE
PRINTER application.
Note the following precautions whenever handling or storing the bundled CD-
ROM and CD-R.
Handling Precautions
Key Operations
• When handling the disc, avoid getting finger smudges, dirt, scratches, etc.
on either of its surfaces.
• Required key operations are indicated in text by bold characters or the graphic
image of the applicable key.
• Should the disc become dirty, use an eyeglass cleaning cloth or some other
soft cloth to wipe it lightly from the center of the disc outwards towards its
edge. Never use phonograph record cleaner or any other cleaning agent.
• Never write on either of the disc’s surfaces with a pen or pencil, or affix a
sticker to the disc surfaces.
Example: Press 1 and then SET.
• The symbols x, z, c, and v indicate cursor key operations.
• Use of a disc that is cracked or deformed, or a disc that has adhesive on it
is dangerous. Never use such a disc.
Storage Precautions
• Avoid storing discs in areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity,
or direct sunlight.
• When you are not using a disc, store it in its original case or in a commercially
available CD case.
• Avoid storing a disc so its label comes in direct contact with the surface of a
vinyl case, bag, etc.
Warning!
Important!
Never play a CD-ROM disc on any device that is not specifically designed to

Part 9 - Printing a Label
display.
This section contains two procedures for printing labels. The procedure
you should use depends on whether your label has text in both the upper
(Label 1) and lower (Label 2) areas, or if it has text in only one of the areas
(Label 1 or Label 2).
Important!
• See the separate “Printing Precautions” sheet for important information
about printing conditions.

anything on it. Printing on a disc or other media that already has data
recorded on it can cause the data to become corrupted.
• This causes the disc tray to open part way.
• If the disc tray does not open, press the

5. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the printer’s USB port.
Part 10 - Connecting to a Computer
Your printer comes bundled with a CD-ROM that contains the “DISC
TITLE PRINTER” label layout software, which allows you to create origi-
nal labels on your computer. Then you can use the bundled USB cable to
connect the printer to your computer and print the labels.
