14.5 Update Firmware  

Use this utility to update the software in your autoloader. To update, you need to insert a 
manufacture Certified Update CD into one of the drives and no other discs are in remaining 
drives. Then you can press the

 button to update. 

 

Important:

 You should not upgrade your autoloader's firmware unless your system is 

becoming unstable or you are advised to do so by Tech Support.  

 

15 Loader Utilities 

page 38  

Use the 

Loader Utilities

 menu options to access the various utilities built into the autoloader. You 

can scroll between the various options using the 

Up or

 

Down 

button.  

 

15.1 Sticky Media Mode 

This feature protects your system by double checking that every tray is empty before 
loading a new disc into that tray. This is used in case any double media were accidentally 
placed in the tray on a previous load due to sticky media. By enabling this feature, it may 
slow down the performance of the system. 

 

15.2 Update Robot Firmware 

Use this utility to update the software in your autoloaders robot controller. To update, you 
need to insert a manufacture Certified Update CD into one of the drives and no other discs 
are in remaining drives.  Then you can press the

 ENT/Enter

 button to update. 

 

Important:

 You should not update your autoloader's robot firmware unless your system is 

becoming unstable or you are advised to do so by Tech Support.  
 

16 Manage Accounts 

page 39 

Use this menu option to:  

  Create user accounts and passwords to prevent unauthorized use of the autoloader.  

  Edit existing user account information, including name and password.  

  Delete existing user account(s).  

  Enable/Disable this feature.  

 

17 AUTOCOPY 

page 41 

The 

AUTOCOPY

 function is the simplest way to make CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Disc copies. It simplifies 

the copy process by automatically copying from a Master Disc, which should be placed on top of 
the input bin, instead of a preloaded master image on the HDD, to all of the blank discs which follow 
it.  The benefit of this operation is to decrease the time needed to initiate the copy process for a 
master disc that does not need to be stored on the HDD permanently. 
 

18 Auto Copy+Compare 

page 43 

The 

Auto Copy+Compare

 function is similar to 

AUTOCOPY

. After the copy process is done, the 

autoloader automatically compares the copied discs from the content of your original master disc. 
Any copied discs that fail the compare process will be placed in the Reject Area. The benefit of this 
operation is to decrease the time needed to initiate the copy process for a master disc that does not 
need to be stored on the HDD permanently.
