Using sticky media is not recommended, nor is the AP-150 guaranteed to operate with
this type of media. If you are experiencing problems with sticky media, try using an
alternative brand of media.
When Sticky Disc Mode is enabled, the robot will perform additional movements
designed to help separate discs when picking blank media from the Input hoppers.
This feature can be enabled and/or disabled in real time, and will take effect on the next
disc to be picked from an Input hopper.
4.5 Thresholds
The AP-150 can provide individual low media
and low ink threshold notifications via e-mail,
both to users with active jobs and also to third
party service personnel (who do not need to
have jobs in the System to receive the e-
mails). The threshold levels are the number of
discs remaining for a given disc type (e.g. CD
or DVD), and the ink/ribbon level being a
percentage of ink/ribbon remaining.
4.6 Images Backup
The AP-150 includes a Backup and Restore utility allowing all the Disc Images, Print Image
and Disc Sets to be backed up to other network storage and later restored if required.
Backups can be made to any storage device that you have access to from your computer,
including Network Attached Storage (NAS) or internal/external hard disks attached
directly to your own computer (e.g. external USB or FireWire hard disks).
When backing up DVD or BD images it is recommended that the backup hard disk is
formatted with NTFS (Windows), Mac OS Extended (Macintosh) or one of the several file
systems available on Linux that handles large files (>2GB).
Note that DOS partitions such as FAT,
FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 are not
suitable for storing large disc images
because they severely limit the file
sizes that can be stored.
4.6.1 Running Backup
To
backup
the images from the AP-
150 select the Image Backup tab then
click on the Browse button to choose
a directory for the backup files. You
should always backup to a sub
directory and not the root of a hard disk, because root file systems often limit the
number of files that can be stored, whereas sub directories do not have this limit.
