If you often burn CD or DVD by a multiple-drive manual duplicator but print your discs one by one, you may like to know this device.
Ain't like a typical robotic burn-and-print duplicator or a automatic print-only disc printer with a printer embedded, this device is actually more like a small disc auotloader module. It doesn't have to a printer installed with it, but you need to have a compatible Epson inkjet printer. And, I have an Epson T50 which is compatible with Sidekick NK50V.
The installation is very simple. Basically, you just attach the disc loader module to the printer and connect the cables to PC, printer and power.
Attach NK50V to the printer:
Place both the printer and NK50V on the original product stand included.
Find the “tracks” on both sides of the printer's paper output slot, aim and push NK50V in along the tracks to connect the two devices.
Connect the cables:
It has three cables including USB to PC, USB to Printer and Power cables.
Install MyNK50V:
Turn on your PC, printer and Sidekick, then install MyNK50V to your PC. Basically MyNK50V is like a driver which you have to keep it open when you want to print. The actual operation is still on Epson's printer software.
When everything is ready, load a pile of printable discs (up to 100 discs), edit your image and set number of copy on Epson's printer software, then NK50V will print the discs one by one until the input loader has no disc. It will send out the finished discs from the back of the device. You have to make sure you've placed a bin underneath the output.
The printing quality is up to the printer, ink and the printable discs, so, using good quality of consumables is recommended..
In addition, it has optional software MultiNK50V which is for volume users. With the software, you can connect 6 sets of them on the same PC, I don't have a copy though.
