Problem Solving

Getting Started Guide. You can also consult the 

Troubleshooting FAQ

 in the User 

Guide for additional information or use any of the support options listed at the end 
of this guide. 

Solving common problems 

The duplicator won’t power on. 

The ElitePRO duplicator has two power switches—a master switch on the back of 
the cabinet next to the AC power cord input and a power switch on the left side of 
the cabintet. Ensure the master switch is in the On position (1) before pressing the 
power switch on the left side of the cabinet.

The duplicator drops discs or won’t pick them up from the spindles or trays.

Sometimes the alignment of the duplicator pick arm is affected during shipping. To 
ensure that the pick arm is properly set up to move discs from point to point, refer 
to the procedure titled 

Setting positions

 in the User Guide.

The duplicator repeatedly rejects the blank discs that I’m trying to use in copy 
operations. 

Make sure that you’re using recordable CD discs with a CD master and record-
able DVD discs with a DVD master. Also, the quality of the media and the selected 
recording speed can affect the rejection rate. Try using higher quality media (such 
as Disc Makers recordable discs) or setting the maximum recording speed lower 
during copy operations.

The duplicator robotics will not complete operations as directed and sometimes 
the movements of the pick arm are erratic.

The optical sensors contained in the duplicator can be affected by very strong 
light—either direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Try moving the unit to a loca-
tion that is not as bright to see if this resolves the problem.  

When I try to run FlexWare, a message appears saying that the Autoloader has not 
been detected and the software won’t start. 

FlexWare must be able to recognize the Autoloader each time the program starts. 
Check to make sure that all cables are properly connected and restart the system. If 
this doesn’t work, try reinstalling the software from the FlexWare installation disc.
