Loader Utilities page 30
Use the Loader Utilities menu options to access the various utilities built into the autoloader. You can
scroll between the various options using the Up or Down button.
1. Drive Alignment
The Drive Alignment menu is used to check the mechanical alignment between the drives
and the robotic arm. See Drive Alignment on page 30 for more information.
2. Spindle Alignment
The Spindle Alignment menu is used to check the mechanical alignment between the
spindles and the robotic arm. See Spindle Alignment on page 31 for more information.
3. Disc Separator
Use this utility to tell the system the number of times for the robotic arm to shake the disc it
picked up from the input spindle in order to reduce the disc sticking issue. See Disc Static
and Sticky Media Issues on page 2 for information about disc sticking issue and Disc
Separator on page 31 for information on using this menu.
4. Z form Maneuver
Use this utility to enable or disable the Z form maneuver. See Z form Maneuver on page 32
for information on using this menu.
5. Alignment Protection
Enabling Alignment Protection makes each drive tray quickly slide in and out after a disc has
been loaded into it. This ensures that the disc sits properly in the disc indentation of the tray
by “shaking” the disc into place. See Alignment Protection on page 32.
Manage Accounts page 32
Use this menu option to:
¾ Create user accounts and passwords to prevent unauthorized use of the autoloader.
¾ Edit existing user account information, including name and password.
¾ Delete existing user account(s).
¾ Enable/Disable this feature.
For additional information, refer to Introduction to Manage Accounts on page 11.
Shutdown page 34
Use this menu option to turn off your system. Once you see the “Ready to Power Off” message, you
can safely turn off the machine using the power switch. Turning off your autoloader without
performing this function increases the risk of damaging it.

spindle(s), place the master on top of the stack on the first spindle, and press the OK button on
16.AUTOCOPY key in the main menu. It will load the content of the top disc of the 1st input spindle
(master disc) into the Reserved Partition of the Hard Drive and copy it to blank disc(s) below it and
any subsequent input spindles.
