Using the hard drive as the master copy source is the best way to make copies. Since you won’t need to occupy the Reader drive with a master disc, you will have one additional drive to use for burning copies.
Using the hard disc as the master copy source improves:
√ Performance - Copying from the hard drive enables the writer drives to boost the copying performance to the limit.
√ Stability - Copying from the hard drive allows a more stable duplication process than disc-to-disc duplication.
√ Durability – The hard drive is a more durable storage device than recordable discs. The recording surface of a recordable disc is exposed and can easily be scratched, potentially corrupting data. The hard drive is shielded and mounted inside the unit, protecting it from incidental damage.
√ Convenience – With your master copy sources stored inside the hard drive, you have convenient access to each one. There is no need to search for a master disc every time you want to make a copy; they are all stored inside the system.
Before you can make copies from an existing hard drive partition, make sure you have loaded an image of the Master disc onto the hard disk drive and that the hard disk drive is selected as your source drive.

1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Copy. Press the ENT button to enter the Copy menu. |
|
|
2. You will see the Choose Partition menu. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the image that you want to copy from and then press the ENT button to confirm your selection.
Note: If you receive a “Hard drive is empty” error message, there are no images loaded on the hard drive.

3. You will see the Counter screen.
|
Once you have set the Counter, any trays that do not contain discs in them will automatically be ejected. You will see the following Preparation screens:
4. Insert discs into the drives.
After you’ve loaded the drives with discs, close the trays and allow 5 - 10 seconds for the system to detect them. If either of the preparation screens are displayed for more than 2 minutes after you have inserted your discs, please check the quality of the discs. Once all the discs have been recognized, you will see the Confirmation screen.
|
Note: The “7” indicates that there are seven discs recognized by the Writers. The actual quantity may be different depending on the number of discs you have inserted. |
|
|
5. When the number of discs detected matches the number of blank discs you inserted, press the ENT button. You will see the Processing screen.
|
After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Copy Progress screen will appear.
|
Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages.
|
6. Once the Copy process has been completed, you will see the following screen.
|
√ PASS 7 - number of discs successfully copied. √ FAIL 0 - number of discs that failed to copy. √ ( 7 ) - number of copies made for this job so far.
|
The successful copies will be ejected. Remove the successful copies, refill the trays with blank media and press the ENT button to continue making another round of copies. Any discs that fail to copy (bad copy) will not be ejected automatically. You will need to manually eject them and throw them away if they are single recording discs. Empty drives will also not be ejected automatically.
7. Terminate the current job.
a) If you have finished making copies, press the ESC button to terminate the current
duplication project and exit to the Main Menu.
b) If you specified a Counter, once you see the following screen indicating that the
specified Counter value has been reached, you can then press the ENT button to
