Operating Environment
Your Disc Publisher system should be used in a climate controlled environment free of dirt,
dust, excess humidity, excessive heat or electro-magnetic interference. Your Disc Publisher
system should be placed on a sturdy level surface
–
away from sources of vibration.
Allow at least four (4) inches of clearance around the sides and back of the unit for
ventilation.
Power On
Before powering the system on, please ensure that if you intend to print then the printer is
correctly installed. The printer should be powered on
before
the main system. After the power
is turned on the Disc Publisher goes through a series of self-tests. If the Main Menu prompt
does not appear within a minute or so see the Error Messages section of this manual.
Printer Setup
The TCP can optionally print to the discs
–
either before, or after duplication.
Ensure that the printer-mounting platform is secured to the top of the right hand side drive
cube. Position the printer as per the instructions supplied with the mounting platform. Connect
the printer to the system via the serial and parallel leads, and ensure that the printer is powered
on at the same time, or before the main system. This will allow the system to correctly
initialise the printer.
To configure the printer, go to the Setup Menu, then to the Printer Settings menu within the
Setup Menu. Select the printer type by using the right arrow key, then press ENTER to save.
Press the STOP key to get back to the main menu. It is important that the correct printer type
is selected, otherwise the Disc Publisher will not printer correctly.
Once the parameters (above) are set, the final step to configuring the system for printing is to
ensure that the printer is in position and the system is able to load discs.
To do this:
First place a disc into the input stack.
Go to the Utilities Menu | Loader Utilities | Loader Utilities |
Load
–
the Robotic
should pick the disc up.
Enter the Utilities Menu | Loader Utilities | Loader Utilities | Extended Diags section
Select
Set Printer
from the list
Open printer tray
Looking from above, use the left and right arrow keys to position the disc centered
according to Fig. 6
If you are not able to position according to Fig 6, you may need to use the Base plate
Adjustment knob. (see Fig 3)
