Thank you for purchasing this Microboards Technology Orbit II Stand Alone Disc Copier. Your new Orbit II System provides state of the art 52x duplication speed for both CD-Audio and CD-ROM discs. Orbit II also incorporates “Burn Proof” technology to prevent wasting CD-R media due to buffer under runs. We are confident you will be impressed with how easy it is to Setup and operate this unit. Your complete satisfaction is our primary goal, so please contact our Technical Services Group if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

The Microboards Technology Orbit II is a stand-alone Disc Copier designed to feed up to 50 CD-Rs or CD- RWs into its CD-R/CD-RW Writer. With your Orbit II you can record all common CD-Audio or CD-ROM formats, and accumulate accepted or rejected discs without operator attention. (See section 11.4 Specifications for a list of CD formats supported by your new Orbit II.) The Orbit II is designed for ease of use in an office copier environment. The Orbit II is so easy to use its basic operating instructions are contained on a single page. Your system includes a copy of the basic operating instructions that you can hang on a wall near the unit.

The Orbit II has an internal hard drive that stores up to 10 different images.

The Orbit II Stand Alone Disc Copier is the ideal solution for users who require unattended copying of all common CD formats. Because it is a stand-alone system, Orbit II does not require the support of a personal computer. Orbit II CD-to-CD Copier users do not need computer skills. If you can use a paper document copier, you can use an Orbit II.

All Microboards Technology CD-R Systems share disc singulation components; and use industrial grade CD-R/CD-RW Writers and Readers, control keypads, and LCD displays. Because it is based upon Microboards Technology Professional Series Systems, your Orbit II will provide years of trouble-free service, even if you use it continuously.

Your Orbit II can use CD, CD-R, or CD-RW discs as masters. It can copy your masters on to blank CD-R or CD-RW discs. If you use CD-RW discs they must be blank. Orbit II cannot erase, or over-write, CD-RW media. Pre-written CD-RW discs will be placed on the Reject side.

We at Microboards Technology strongly discourage the illegal copying of content in violation of copyright laws. Our equipment will not defeat copy protection. Make sure the copies you produce conform to copyright regulations, and function properly in target systems, before you distribute them.
