Operation This chapter shows each of the menu options and how they are used.
1. Copy
The Copy menu option or the front panel Copy quick key have two different modes of operation:
¾ Single Master Mode: This mode requires that a single master disc is loaded onto the
hard drive prior to initiating the duplication process. This mode is ideal if your job involves
one or very few master disc(s).
¾ Multi Master Mode (Batch Mode): This mode does not require you to manually load your master.
Simply place the master disc(s) on top of the stack of blank discs needed for that particular job of the
master disc. This mode is ideal if you have numerous master discs and fewer copies for each master
disc.
These modes are described in detail in Single Master and Multi Master Modes on page 11. If you are
making copies in Single Master Mode, continue on to the next section. If you are making copies in Multi
Master Mode, jump ahead to Making Copies in Multi Master Mode on page 16.
You can press either the Single Master or Multi Master Quick Buttons to eliminate the need of going
into the Master Mode menu.
1.1 Making Copies in Single Master Mode
This process will copy your master disc on to several blank discs simultaneously. This mode requires that
your master disc is loaded into a partition on the Hard Drive. See Load Partition on page 22 for instructions
on how to do this.
Turn on your autoloader and wait until it has booted up. It should take several minutes for the autoloader to go
through its self adaptive test and auto-calibration procedures. You should see the following signifying your
autoloader is ready:
Make sure the Master Mode is set to Single Master mode (SM). If it is not,
use the Up or Down button to navigate to the 8. Master Mode screen. If
it is already in Single Master mode (SM), please skip to the step that starts
the copy process.
Press the OK button to enter the Master Mode.
Use the Up or Down button to select Single Master Mode. Press the
OK button to submit your selection.
Go back to the 1. Copy Menu. Use the Up or Down button to navigate to the following screen:
Start the Copy Process. Insert your blank discs on to the Input Spindle(s)
and press the OK button to enter the 1. Copy menu. You will see the
Choose Partition menu:
Use the Up or Down button to find the partition where your master disc
is stored. Press the OK button to select that Partition. Next, you will see
the Counter Selection menu:
Follow the instructions shown in Setting Counters on page 12 to continue.
Once the counters have been set, press the OK button to confirm. You
will see the Processing screen:
After a short interval, the robotic loader will pick the top disc from the input
spindle and place it into one of the drives. As this is happening, you will see
a screen similar to below:
This information screen shows what is happening. In this case, the loader
has taken a disc from the input spindle and is placing it into Drive 1.
