Insert the caddy into the drive slot with the disc’s label facing up,
and push it partially into the drive until the automatic loading
mechanism pulls the caddy in.
Important:
When inserting the caddy, let the automatic loading mechanism pull
it into the drive by itself. Do not hold onto the caddy or attempt to
overpower the loading mechanism.
CD Caddy
The drive begins reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data. The
busy indicator lights amber while the TOC data is being read.
When the busy indicator changes to green, the drive is ready to
receive commands, and data may be retrieved from the disc.
After loading the CD-R disc, it takes a moment for the drive to
become ready while the Program Memory Area is read.
From here on, follow the instructions provided with the application
software.

–PREVENT/ALLOW of the jumper block is set to OFF.
–the host computer is set to the PREVENT mode by the software.
• The busy indicator keeps on lighting amber if:
