6.7 Batch Mode 

 
Batch mode allows you to load masters and blanks into the input hopper to duplicate from multiple masters 
while leaving the Orbit II unattended.  Masters are automatically detected and stored temporarily on the 
internal hard drive, then copied to each blank that follows until the next master is detected. 
 
When using Batch mode, the first disc inserted must be a master.  Also, masters must be separated by at 
least one blank disc. 
 
To enter 

Batch Mode

 

• 

Press 

Yes

 when the display reads  

• 

Load the first master, then the number of blanks required, then the next master and blanks.  
Repeat as necessary, with a limit of 50 discs in the input hopper.  

• 

Press 

Yes

 at    

 

 

 to begin the batch mode copy.  Pressing 

No

 will allow you 

to choose the other batch copy option,   

• 

When the duplication is complete and the input hopper is empty, you will be given the option of 
adding discs to the input hopper and continuing, or ending the batch copy.  Press 

Yes

 after adding 

media to continue the batch copy, or press 

No

 to halt the batch copy and return to the batch mode 

option selected in the step above. 

NOTE:

  Exiting batch mode will set the master source as Disc to Disc for non-batch Copy or non-batch 

Copy and Compare.  If you had selected a hard drive source prior to the batch copy and want to 
use that hard drive source again, you will need to reset the System Setup to that hard drive source 
(see section 6.3). 

 
Batch Mode will not duplicate CD+G or allow duplication by Track Extraction.
