Installation

5. Inserting disc magazines

Any of the following methods may be used to insert discs into the changer:

1.Insert discs into a normal-type 50-disc magazine and then insert the magazine into the changer.

2.Insert discs into a 20-disc hyper magazine and then insert the magazine into the changer.

3.Use the control panel to specify the slot into which a disc is to be inserted and transport a disc to the specified slot from the mailslot.

4.Issue some commands from the host computer to open the mailslot and transport a disc to the specified slot from the mailslot.

5.Issue some commands from the host computer to move discs in the loaded hyper magazine to some slots within the loaded 50-disc magazines.

¶Hyper magazine is not able to be inserted or removed when the power to the changer is turned off.

¶Methods 3 through 5 may be used after the changer is ready for operation. When inserting discs in these methods, always be sure to insert empty disc magazines first.

Also note that methods 3 through 5 are used when inserting locked-type 50-disc magazines. (See System administrator mode: Mailslot submode on p. 34 for further information.)

¶Whether or not it is possible to use methods 4 and 5 depends on the function of changer control software being used, and you should check the manual which comes with the software to check if it supports these methods to insert discs.

Shown above is the insertion to the front magazine bay. Though the insertion to the rear magazine bay is almost same but note that the proper installation position is in the place where it is very secluded.

To remove a disc magazine from the changer, pull the handle towards you and pull the magazine from the changer.
