Introduction
This manual provides the information needed to operate the Rimage Everest III printer, identify
the parts, and configure printing preferences. To unpack and set up your Everest printer, refer to
the Everest Unpacking and Setup Instructions included with your product.
Printer Requirements
Operating System requirements
The Rimage Everest printer is compatible only with Windows® 2000 Professional, Windows® XP
Professional, and Macintosh® OSX v 10.3/10.4.
Media requirements
You must use discs that are coated with a surface designed for thermal printing. The media in
Rimage Media Kits™ is designed for optimum use in the Everest printer.
For more information about Rimage Media Kits™ – convenient packages of thermal retransfer-
printable discs and ribbons, all guaranteed by Rimage – contact Rimage at 800-445-8288.
Ribbon requirements
- Important: Use only Everest III print ribbons with the Everest III printer. Print ribbons
designed for the Everest II printer or earlier will not print correctly in the Everest III printer.
The Everest printer requires a print ribbon and a retransfer ribbon. The standard print ribbon has
three colors: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (CMY). These three colors combine in printing to create
full color discs. Print ribbons are also available in black and CMY+White (CMY+W).
Ribbons Part Number Number of Discs Printed
3-Color (CMY) 203638-001 500
4-Color (CMY+W) 203639-001 375
Black (monochrome) 203640-001 1000
Retransfer ribbon 203474-001 500

Label design requirements
The Everest printer Windows compatible software ships with a label editor called CD Designer™,
which is installed on your PC during a typical installation of the Rimage software. If you have a
Windows based PC, you can use CD Designer to design your labels.
Note: CD Designer is not Macintosh compatible and will not be installed with the Macintosh
compatible software.
If you have another software application that you prefer, or if you are using a Macintosh
computer, you can create a label and save it as an Acrobat® (.pdf) file, a .jpg file, or a .tiff file.
- t! Importan
o If you are using a standalone Everest printer or an AutoEverest AutoPrinter, you can print
using a label file designed in any program.
o If your Everest printer is on a Rimage autoloader (except the AutoEverest AutoPrinter)
and using Windows compatible software, only the Acrobat (.pdf) or CD Designer (.btw)
file can print directly to the Everest printer.
To create a label with a software application other than CD Designer, use the following criteria:
• Color depth – Save the artwork for the label with the color set to millions of colors.
• DPI – Use pictures or logos set to 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch).
• Label design size – A full size disc is 120 mm (4.723”). The hole is 15 mm (0.59”). The
printable area and hub sizes vary depending on the disc manufacturer.
Pri ntable Area
118 mm
Hub Size
24 mm
• Media – The media that is in Rimage Media Kits™ has a printable area of 24-118 mm. On
most labels, print settings of 24 mm and 118 mm are recommended. For more information
about Rimage Media Kits™ – convenient packages of thermal retransfer-printable discs and
ribbons, all guaranteed by Rimage – contact Rimage at 800-445-8288.

Powering on and off the Everest printer
The Everest printer does not have a power switch:
Note: The printer will go into sleep mode if it is idle for more than 30 minutes. When this
occurs, the printer will take 2-3 minutes to warm up after a job is sent to the printer.

powered on. To power off the Everest printer, power off the autoloader.
• If the Everest printer is a standalone printer, connect the power cord from the Everest printer
to a power outlet to power on the printer. To power off the Everest printer, disconnect the
power cord.
Installing the Everest printer driver
Before printing, you must install the printer driver. If your Rimage Everest printer was included
with an autoloader that has an embedded PC or a control center, the Everest printer driver
is already installed.
1. Connect the Everest power cord to the printer.
2. Ensure that the Everest printer is powered on.
Note: If the Everest printer is a standalone printer (not on an autoloader), the Everest
printer will power on when you connect the power cord. If the Everest printer is on an
autoloader, the Everest printer will power on when you power on the autoloader. For
more information, refer to ‘Powering on and off the Everest printer’ on page 7.
3. Connect the USB cable from the Everest printer to the computer.
