Tips for Handling Optical Discs
Never touch the printable or data surface of the disc,
as it may decrease quality and disc lifespan. Refer
to the arrows on the illustration to the right, Always
handle discs from the outer edge or the center hole.
What You Need to Start a Disc Duplication Session
The Xymba XB-42 is a standalone duplicator, which does not require a
computer connection. You will need the following to start a
duplication session:
Master Discs
The original disc providing the source of data for a duplication
session.
Blank Discs
The disc that Xymba will write the source data to during a
duplication session.
Important Tips for Loading Discs to Xymba
When the disc loader is empty, do not attempt to
load many discs at once.
First, carefully load only one disc into the disc loader
and assure it is firmly resting on the three wheels
seen in the illustration to the right. You may then
gradually load additional discs on top of the first disc,
until the loader is full.
Xymba processes discs in a First In, First Out (FIFO)
sequence. During a duplication session, if a disc
refill is required, before the loader becomes empty,
gently load additional discs.
Automated Multiple-Master-Disc Duplication
Xymba not only performs one-to-multiple, but also multiple-to-multiple
disc duplication. Whenever Xymba detects a non-blank disc in a
recorder, a disc image will be written to the built-in hard disk. The
disc image is then used to duplicate all the following blank discs, until
another master disc is detected or the loader becomes empty.
