Operating the Drive

Make sure that the application software is installed in the host computer before using the drive.

Starting Up

1Turn on the power supply.

2Insert the caddy into the drive slot with the disc’s label facing up, and push it partially into the drive until the automatic loading mechanism pulls the caddy in.

Important:

When inserting the caddy, let the automatic loading mechanism pull it into the drive by itself. Do not hold onto the caddy or attempt to overpower the loading mechanism.

The drive begins reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data. The busy indicator lights amber while the TOC data is being read. When the busy indicator changes to green, the drive is ready to receive commands, and data may be retrieved from the disc. After loading the CD-R disc, it takes a moment for the drive to become ready while the Program Memory Area is read.

From here on, follow the instructions provided with the application software.

–the host computer is set to the PREVENT mode by the software.

•The busy indicator keeps on lighting amber if:

–the disc is not properly inserted. –a malfunction occurs.
