Setup Menu
The Setup function gives you access to some of the default settings used by the Copywriter Flash
Duplicator.
Startup Menu
The Startup Menu selection allows you to select the main menu item that appears when the
Copywriter Flash Duplicator starts up. The default setting is
1. Copy
. Main Menu items 1
through 6 can be selected.
Copy Area
Only Data Area
With the Copy Area setting selected as
Only Data Area
, the system will automatically
analyze the source flash card’s file format. If the file format is FAT16/32, NTFS, Linux (Ext2,
Ext3) file system which the duplicator recognizes then the system will only copy the content
data instead of copying the whole flash card including the empty space. For example a 2GB
flash card which is FAT32 file format and has only 50 MB of data inside, the system will only
copy that specific 50MB of data. Which will only take a few seconds to copy the source.
With the Copy Area setting selected as
Whole Media
, the system will copy the whole flash
card, including the empty space and format. This function is used when you have a flash
source which has an unknown file format and you don’t want the system to be confused by
such a format.
Button Beep
This setting allows you to turn
ON
or
OFF
the beep produced when the buttons are pressed.
The default setting is
ON
.
Asyn Hold Time
This setting allows you to specify the amount of time the duplicator will wait before exiting an
Asynchronous duplication job. If there are no target cards detected, then the duplication will
exit in that time period. Options are: OFF, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds,
40 seconds, 50 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes.
This setting has no effect on Synchronous duplication.
Ignore Size
This setting allows you to determine how closely the capacity of the target cards match the
capacity of the source card. Options are: NO IGNORE (cards must be the same capacity),
percentages ranging from 1% to 50%, or DON’T CARE (“Size doesn’t matter”).
This setting is intended for flexibility if the source card is a low-capacity card. Any attempt to
duplicate more data than the target card’s capacity will fail.
Asynchronous
If this setting is
ON
and the source’s file format is one that can be analyzed, the source card
is read at the start of the copy process to determine the capacity of the data to be copied.
The amount of capacity duplicated will equal the size of the source data rather than the
capacity of the entire card. FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 file formats can be analyzed.
This setting must be set to
ON
for the Asynchronous Duplication to operate.
If your source is in a file format that can’t be analyzed, such as NTFS, this setting must be
OFF
for duplication to occur.
If this setting is
OFF
, the entire capacity of the source card will be duplicated to the target
cards, resulting in longer duplication times.
Language
Sets the language on the display. The default is English.
