SECTION 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
The Verity Systems CopyDisc Platinum printer series provide reliable, unattended inkjet and
thermal printing of optical discs.
There are three CopyDisc Platinum printer models:
•
CopyDisc Platinum OptiPrinter Pro - inkjet printing
•
CopyDisc Platinum AutoPrinter – thermal printing
•
CopyDisc Platinum P-55 – thermal retransfer printing
All are similar in operation but offer a difference in print output.
Each model uses a pick and place mechanism to transfer the disc from the Input spindle or basket
to the printer and remove the disc from the printer subsequently and place it on the Output spindle.
Two different types of picker mechanism are available: the
Vacuum
picker and the
Mechanical
picker. CopyDisc OptiPrinterPro models are fitted with the mechanical picker as standard. This
enables users to print right to the centre of full-face printable, inkjet discs. All CopyDisc thermal
printers are fitted with the vacuum picker as standard.
Note:
The
mechanical picker is not compatible with the CopyDisc thermal printers.
Note:
Throughout this manual reference is made to CDs. The procedure for DVDs, CD Business
cards and mini discs is identical except where stated.
1.2 Network Operation
The CopyDisc Platinum printers are operated using
DiscPilot
advanced networking software.
There is no drive fitted so the system is run directly from a PC on a network.
This easy to use yet sophisticated and versatile CD and DVD printer management software
system, provides multiple users with access to one of Verity Systems range of automatic printers.
DiscPilot allows a CopyDisc to act as a peripheral device across a network.
DiscPilot
is a completely new way of networking your CopyDisc. Instead of relying on a traditional
Cat5 cable network connection, uses a high speed USB connection for improved reliability and
data transmission rates.
Verity Systems
PublisherNET
forms the link between the CopyDisc and the host PC.
PublisherNET
establishes a connection with the CopyDisc through the USB connection and
manages data transmission.
This Windows based software suite enables you to print a print file (PRN) stored on your file
server, and to request the required number of discs for your CopyDisc to print. CD/DVD print files
can also be selected from the CopyDisc’s hard drive itself.
