If you pressed the LOAD button twice (for sequential multi-disc loading), when this first disc loading operation is complete, the carousel will rotate, and the gate will re-open, allowing the next disc to be inserted. The PowerFile will wait approximately 10 seconds for another disc. If no more discs are inserted within that time, the gate will close, and that disc loading session will be ended.

After you have loaded the last disc, the MediaFinder X software will automatically begin identifying each newly loaded disc. This operation takes about 30 seconds per disc, so if you have loaded a batch of discs, be patient, as it will take awhile for this process to complete.

Note: If you do not insert a disc within the 10-second window and the gate closes, simply press the LOAD button again to direct the gate to re-open.

Load Option B: From the MFX Finder Interface

1.Control-click on the PowerFile’s Desktop icon.

The contextual menu gives the option of ‘Load One Disc’ or ‘Bulk Load Discs’.

2.Load disc(s).

When either the Load One Disc or Bulk Load Discs menu item is selected, the internal "gate" in the Load/Unload slot will automatically open, allowing the first disc to be inserted. With the "data" side of the disc on the left, and the "label" side on the right, gently place one (1) disc into the slot. DO NOT PUSH OR FORCE THE DISC INTO THE SLOT. The disc will be automatically lowered into the carousel, and the gate will close.

If you selected Bulk Load Discs, once the first disc has been loaded, the carousel will rotate and the gate will reopen, allowing the next disc to be inserted. The PowerFile will wait approximately 10 seconds for another disc. If no more discs are inserted within that time, the gate will close, and that disc loading session will be ended.
