PX-712UF Installation and Users Manual
5. Insert a blank Plextor-certified DVD+R, DVD-R, or CD-R disc. Be
sure to use only media of the type recommended by Plextor. Then
close the disc tray.
If the disc/busy indicator blinks amber three times, the loaded
disc is not a blank DVD+R, DVD-R, or CD-R disc. Remove the
disc and insert a blank, Plextor-certified recordable disc.
6. The drive begins the diagnostic routine. Upon completion of the
diagnostic, you see the results:
If there was no problem, the disc is ejected automatically. (That
is, the disc tray opens, allowing you to remove the disc.)
If there was a problem, the disc is not ejected, and you see the
disc/busy indicator blink green. One green blink indicates a
write or read error. Two green blinks indicate an initialization
error.
7. If the disc was not ejected automatically, press the eject button to
eject the disc.
8. Turn the PX-712UF power switch to OFF, and set the self-test
switch to the right (OFF) position.
9. Turn the PX-712UF’s power switch to ON (so the “1” is depressed).
10. Reconnect the USB or FireWire cable from your PX-712UF drive to
the computer.
What the Self-Test Results Indicate
•
If a drive passes the self-test, then the drive’s operation is OK.
•
If the drive fails the self-test, in some cases the problem may be
caused by the media. Try the self-test again using a different brand
of DVD±R or CD-R media; if the drive passes the self-test this time,
the drive is OK.
