What You Can Do with the PlexWriter 40/12/40S
Just look at some of the things you can do with your PlexWriter 40/12/40S:
•
Record data or audio onto writable or rewritable CD media.
•
Play music CDs.
•
Save photos and other images on rewritable or writable CDs.
•
Share information with colleagues—just use software such as Roxio’s DirectCD
to drag and drop files onto CD-R or CD-RW media, then continue adding files
and sharing the same CD disc.
•
Archive images and video to CD.
•
Master new software programs on CD.
What's in the Box
What you find in your Plextor box depends on what the company that sold you the
box put in—or took out—while the Plextor drive was in their possession.
NOTE: This applies to the Plextor retail box. Your box’s contents may be different.
In the box you’ll find:
•
PlexWriter 40/12/40S CD-RW drive
•
SCSI cable
•
Emergency eject tool
•
4 mounting screws (internal drive only)
•
Quick install guide
•
Extra jumpers for setting drive options (internal drive only)
•
1 piece of approved CD-R media
•
Plextor CD with authoring software bundle
•

•
AC power cord (external drive only)
If your drive came pre-installed,
some or all of the items above may
have been installed and may not be
separately available. See the Plextor
web site for locations to purchase
additional or replacement
accessories.
If the security sticker on top of your
box is cut, there may be a good
reason: for example, a dealer may
have added other components or
software. Carefully check the
contents to ensure everything is
present. If something is missing, contact the party from whom you purchased the
box.
Save Your Box!
Be sure to save the box after you have
installed your PlexWriter drive. The
box and its packaging material were
designed and drop tested to ensure your
PlexWriter can endure rough treatment
and still arrive in working order. If you
have to ship your drive back to Plextor,
you’ll want to send it in the original
box. (For more details about returning
your drive to Plextor, see page 48.)
