7.2.5 Ask Quantity
If set to ‘Yes’ the user will be prompted (in standalone mode) for a quantity at the start of
a Copy/Compare job. If set to ‘No’ the machine will copy until told to stop by pressing
and holding the
STOP
key.
7.2.6 Async Copying
When set to ‘Yes’ the System will run the drives asynchronously. Setting this to ‘No’ will
increase the time taken for duplication, since all drives must be loaded or unloaded
before duplication can continue (synchronous operation). The Async option only applies
when running in standalone mode. All Network Mode jobs are run in an asynchronous
mode.
7.2.7 Check Blank Size
If set to ‘Yes’ the System will check that the image will fit on the blank disc before starting
to write. If set to ‘No’ the System will attempt to write the image to the disc, even if the
blank is not large enough. This may mean that copies are rejected, because the blank
disc did not have sufficient room. Setting this feature to ‘No’ allows discs to be over
burned.
7.2.8 Master Drive
This option allows the user to select which drive (recorder or CD-ROM drive if installed)
will be used to read master discs. Use the left and right arrow keys to select the desired
drive and press the
ENTER
key to save the settings.
7.2.9 Printer
This selects the printer type. Cycle through the options until the one specific to your
printer type is displayed. (Only used for Parallel and not for USB connected printers.)
7.2.10 Stop Reject Full
This should be set to ‘Yes’. The rejected disc count is kept, and once it reaches a trigger
level, duplication will halt - waiting user intervention to clear the reject. This prevents
the fouling of the lower drives by the reject pile, and it is recommended that this be
always set to ‘Yes’. The count is made on a ‘per job’ basis, and so it is expected that the
reject area be cleared at the start of any duplication job.
7.2.11 Last Char Name
This option determines the behavior exhibited on entering image names on the
duplicator. If this is set to ‘Yes’ the cursor carries forward the previous character
entered. This allows for faster entering of names – through fewer button presses. If a
space is required, or the next letter you need is closer to the start of the alphabet than
the previous character entered, then moving the cursor back one space and then forward
two spaces will reset the cursor character. The cursor only carries forward the previous
character if it was changed, and so by first shuffling backwards, you have a blank. It does
take some getting used to – but with use, it provides an improved way of quickly naming
images.
