Swift Publisher: Migrating to Swift Publisher 5 Moving “My Templates” from Version 4 to Version 5Swift Publisher 5 automatically detects custom templates (“My Templates” in the Template Gallery) created in the previous version and copies them to the new version’s Template Gallery. However, this is only true if both versions were bought from the same store (e.g. Labels & Addresses: Importing from Excel 2016Presently, Labels & Addresses does not support importing from Excel 2016 directly (earlier versions work fine).
There are two possible workarounds until the problem is solved. Importing through Apple NumbersIf you have Apple Numbers on your computer, you can import Excel documents into Labels & Addresses by choosing 'Numbers' in the list of import sources in the Source panel of Labels & Addresses.In the File dialog choose the Excel file you’d like to open. A dialog will open offering you to map data from the Excel file to the fields in your Labels & Addresses document. Importing from a Text FileIf you don’t have Apple Numbers, you may first export your Excel document to a text file and then import it into Labels & Addresses. Open the document in MS Excel and choose 'File Save As'.
In the list of file formats choose 'Tab Delimited' or 'Comma-Separated' format and save your file.In Labels & Addresses, choose 'Text File' in the list of import sources in the Source panel. In the File dialog choose the text file previously exported from Excel. A dialog will open allowing you to map data from the text file to the fields in your Labels & Addresses document. Make sure you specify the delimiter correctly — if you saved your text file as tab delimited, choose 'Tab' for delimiter. If you saved your file as comma-separated, choose 'Comma'.
Disc Cover: Direct-to-Disc Printing with Canon AirPrint-enabled PrintersSome owners of Canon printers reported being unable to set the output to the disc tray. The printer would always output to a paper tray, and if the disc tray had been inserted before beginning the print operation, a 'Cover is open' error would appear.Though the solution below was tested with MX-920 series printers, it might work for other Canon’s AirPrint printers as well.There are actually two drivers that come with those printers: one that uses AirPrint (based on Apple's Bonjour service), and another, more conventional OS X driver. By default, only the AirPrint driver appears in System Preferences Printers & Scanners, and it doesn't support disc printing.To get to the second driver, you will have to add it to the list of printers in Printers & Scanners, even though it had been installed with the AirPrint driver. Click the '+' sign at the bottom of the list to open the 'Add' page.Initially, only one driver will appear on that page, 'Canon MX920 series', and its 'Kind' will be listed as 'Bonjour'. That's the AirPrint driver. But if you wait a few seconds, a second driver will appear with the exact same name, but its 'Kind' will be listed as 'Canon IJ Network’. That’s the more conventional OS X driver, and it's the only one that recognizes direct-to-disc printing.
Select it and click the ‘Add’ button to add the driver to the list of printers.Unfortunately, the AirPrint driver is the only one that will let you specify which paper tray to feed from, so don't delete it from your Mac. Instead, you might rename both drivers in the main Printers & Scanners page, by right-clicking each one and selecting ‘Rename printer’.Now, back to the Disc Cover print dialog. On the first page of the print dialog you specify direct-to-disc printing, with three drop-downs labelled ‘Output’, with a ‘Direct to CD/DVD’ option, ’Tray Type’ with a ‘Canon Tray Type J (CD Tray)’ option; and ‘Printer’, which should default to the IJ Network driver.Click the ’Next’ button on the first page of the print driver, and an instructions page will appear in a separate window. Dismiss the instructions window if it appears, and the second page of the print dialog — which is the actual OS X print dialog — will pop up.Click the ’Show Details’ button at the bottom of the page, and a number of additional options appear.
About halfway down the expanded page, click the ‘Layout’ drop-down and select ‘Quality & Media’.The options below the drop-down will change. The first option is a drop-down labelled ‘Media Type’. In this drop-down, select ‘Other Papers’ ‘Printable disc’. The second drop-down, ‘Paper Source’, should change to ‘Disc tray’.
Now you are ready to print, but don't insert the disc printing tray into the printer yet. There is no need to calibrate the printer; it manages its own calibration when printing to disc.Instead, click the ‘Print’ button and wait. A window will pop up on your Mac, telling you not to insert the disc tray (which is clipped to the underside of the top paper tray) until a notification on the printer's front panel asks you to do so.When the printer prompts you to do so, open an inner door on the printer and carefully slide the tray into a slot behind the inner door, lining up a white triangular arrow on the tray with a corresponding arrow on the opened door. Then, hit the ‘OK’ button on the printer, and it will take over and complete the print job.
