Overview

This manual provides the information needed to unpack, install, and operate the
Desktop 4500 autoloader and Liberty printer. The Desktop 4500 consists of an
autoloader that can move discs from a three-bin carousel to recorders, and a printer,
all integrated into one machine. The three-bin carousel has a capacity of 120 discs and
may be loaded or unloaded without interrupting the current order. The Desktop 4500
works in conjunction with Rimage OfficeNet Software running on Windows 2000 or
XP.
