Copying
CD-Rs (Not CD to CD)
There are three basic methods of copying CD-Rs. The
first is to read a master & start copying immediately.
The second is to start copying using a master image
already stored on the internal hard disk (usually created
by a previous Copy job, or by using the Image Functions|Load
New Master function). The third is to use the Copy CD
to CD function that can read a master, store the data
to the hard disk and make copies at the same time. However,
the last method may not be as reliable as the first
two methods where a master CD is scratched, or of a
poor quality.
To start copying from a new master,
use the up /\ or down \/ arrow keys to put the >
cursor (on the Left of the LCD display) next to the
Start Copying menu line. Press the ENTER key to select
that menu function. If there is already a CD image on
the hard drive the following prompt will be displayed:
Read New Master?
If there are no master images currently
on the hard disk, this message will not appear. Press
the YES key. The next prompt will be for a CD Image
name.
Enter Image Name
[ ]
Use the /\, \/, > & <
keys to enter a name for the image (see Entering Text).
To use the default name ("NONAME") just press
the ENTER key. Next the system will ask for the number
of CD-Rs to copy:
Enter Quantity
[ ]
Using the /\, \/, < & > keys enter a quantity
to copy (see Entering Numbers). When the display shows
the required count, press the ENTER key. The top drive
tray will open and the following prompt will be displayed:
Insert Master CD...
Press any key.
Put the Master CD in the tray and
press the ENTER key. The drawer will close and the Master
CD will start reading. When the Master CD is read the
tray will open and the following prompt will be displayed:
Get Master CD...
Press any key.
Get the Master CD from the tray,
put a blank CD-R into the tray and press the ENTER key.
If more than one copy is required, and the tower has
more than one drive installed and enabled (see Duplication
Options), other drives will eject their tray and wait
for a blank CD. Place a blank CD on all open drawers,
and close them. Once all drives have blank CD-Rs, copying
will begin. Press the ENTER key to start copying without
discs in all drives.
On completing the copy, all drives
with good discs will eject the disc and wait for another
blank. Insert more blanks in the open drawers and close
them again. Copying will automatically start again once
all drives are closed, and have blank CD-Rs.
If the message
Bad Disc
Press Any Key
appears, a drive has a BAD disc
(one that was rejected during the copy or verify operation),
the drawer will remain closed. Simply open the drawer
using the eject button, and replace the disc with a
new blank CD-R.
To Copy from an image that is already
on the hard disk, select the menu item Start Copying
as above, but in response to the message
Read New Master?
Press the NO key. A list of
the images stored on the hard disk will be displayed
on the LCD. Use the /\ & \/ keys to place the >
cursor next to the required image and press ENTER. Enter
the quantity required, as above. The drives will open
requesting blank CD-Rs in the same way as above.
