Print an image from my Macintosh onto a printable disc.
Your Brother machine can print directly onto printable disc media, including CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, or Blu-ray Disc™.
There are four ways to print onto a printable disc:
Printing a label from a Macintosh
Brother offers an easy-to-use application for printing onto printable discs. The NewSoft CD Labeler application offers templates for creating disc labels and mathing jackets. You can also use this application to create your own custom disc labels.
Only use the Brother-supplied disc-printing software to print onto a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, or Blu-ray™ Disc. Printing from other applications can stain the inside of your Brother machine.
Before you can print onto a disc from a Macintosh, you must have installed the NewSoft CD Labeler software and created a disc label.
- To install the NewSoft CD Labeler software, refer to the solution: "Install NewSoft CD Labeler software in Macintosh."
- If you have already installed the NewSoft CD Labeler software but have not created a disc label, refer to the solution: "Use the NewSoft CD Labeler software on a Macintosh."
- If you have already installed the NewSoft CD Labeler software and created a disc label, go to STEP1.
- Media Type: Select Printable Disc or Glossy Printable Disc
- Print Quality: Select Normal or Slow Drying (Printable Disc only)
If you are using Mac OSx 10.4.x to 10.5.x, you can print one disc at a time.
- A dialog box asks you to use the Brother-supplied CD labeled software to print on printable disc media, and to make there is at least four inches of space behind the machine.
Click OK.

- The machine will prompt you to load a printable disc onto the Disc Tray.
Do not push the Disc Tray all the way into the Disc Guide. If you push the Disc Tray past the point where the triangular marks are aligned, it will get stuck inside the machine.
- If you are only printing one disc, the "finished" message will appear on the LCD.
- If you are printing more than one disc, follow these steps:
If the printed image runs off the edge of the disc, you may need to adjust the disc print position.
