Orbit II Disc Copier Reference Manual – Revision K

Section 7: Advanced Orbit II Operation
There are four advanced Orbit II operation options within the System Setup menu: Burn Disc, Use
Buzzer, Speed Selection, and Ask Quantity.
Burn Disc allows you to run the Orbit II in simulate mode by pressing No when on that choice in the
System Setup menu. Burn Disc must be set to Yes for all copy operations.
The Use Buzzer Setup menu selection allows you to turn off Orbit II’s audible alarm. If Orbit II’s buzzer is
disabled, a flashing LED will be the only indication that the Input Hopper is empty, or there is a problem
with the current job. If the buzzer is enabled, you can silence the audible alarm by pressing the No key.
Set Write Speed to the copy speed you want to use. Normally you should leave the write speed at 52x to
maximize the number of CD-Rs you can write per hour. In order to run at 52x, it is important to make sure
you are using blank CD-R media that is rated for 52x. If you are experiencing a high reject rate (also called
“low yield”) with a particular batch of media, try lowering the copy speed to 16X.
Special Notes:
If you are copying to CD-RW discs, the maximum copy speed is 10X.
Orbit II will automatically adjust its copy speed if you load CD-RW discs instead of CD-R
discs. You do not have to manually change Write Speed to switch between CD-R and
CD-RW jobs.
CD-RW discs must be blank for use in Orbit II. Orbit II cannot erase or over-write CD-RW
media.
If Ask Quantity is turned on, Orbit II will ask the operator how many discs should be processed for each
job. In this operating mode you can leave a stack of blank discs in the Input Hopper. Orbit II will always
provide the requested number of discs, even if some discs are rejected during the job. If Ask Quantity is
turned off, Orbit II will not request a quantity from the operator. Orbit II will expect the operator to place the
proper number of discs in the Input Hopper before starting the job. If there are rejects, and a specific
quantity of discs is needed, the operator will have to add additional discs during the job, or set up another
job when the first job is complete. See Section 5 for additional details on the Ask Quantity option.
