Orbit II Disc Copier Reference Manual – Revision K

Section 2: Setting Up your CD-R Copying Area

A clean and orderly work place is required to consistently produce high quality copies. We suggest you locate your Orbit II Stand Alone Disc Copier in an office like environment free of dust and debris. Any contamination that gets on the CDs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs you use as masters or blanks can cause rejects that will reduce your yield and increase your cost. Even worse than yield loss is the possibility that a CD-R you duplicate will not work in your customer’s CD Drive. Dust and debris will also increase Orbit II system maintenance, and possibly shorten the service life of your Orbit II Disc Copier

After you have selected a clean working environment for your Orbit II, you should allow enough tabletop space around the unit to properly organize the flow of masters, blank media, duplicated discs, and process rejects. In the example photograph below, workflow is from right to left. Blank discs waiting for copying are on the right of the Orbit II, along with a clearly labeled container for rejects. Completed copy jobs and masters are to the left of the Orbit II. Remember; it is sometimes difficult to tell if an unlabeled CD-R has been duplicated. It is virtually impossible to identify the content of a duplicated CD-R until it is labeled or printed. An organized workspace is the key to controlling the quality and consistency of your CD-R copy process.

Temperature in your CD-R copy area should be between 65 and 85 degrees F. (18 – 29 degrees C.) Humidity should be maintained between 30 and 80 % RH, if possible. CD-R copying can be performed outside these recommended limits, but operator comfort and process yield may be affected.

In our sample CD-R copying Setup above we are keeping each completed copying job on a separate spindle, with the master disc on top of the stack. This keeps the master available for quality control “compare” tests. The master also clearly identifies the contents of each stack.
