You can tell immediately which mode you are in by looking at any of the Copy or Test menus:
The (SM) indicates Single Master Mode, and the (MM) indicates Multi Master Mode.
For example, if you need to make:
20 copies of job A
40 copies of job B
30 copies of job C
Under Multi Master Mode, you would need to follow steps below:
1. Make sure all of the spindles are empty.
2. Place 30 blank discs for job C on to the first input spindle.
3. Place the master disc for job C on top of those blank discs for job C.
4. Place 40 blank discs for job B on top of the master disc for job C.
5. Place the master disc for job B on top of those blank discs for job B.
6. Place 20 blank discs for job A on top of the master disc for job B.
7. Place the master disc for job A on top of those blank discs for Job A.
After you have completed these steps, the Input Spindle should be loaded in the
order shown in Figure 1-5:
When you start the copy operation, the robotic arm will pick up discs from the
Input Spindle and place them into the drives. If any of the discs in the drives
contains data, (in this case, that would be the first disc, the Master Disc for job A)
the autoloader will load entire content of this disc(Master A) into the reserve
partition on the Hard Drive. The subsequent discs from the input bin/spindle will
be loaded in the empty drives.
Once the loading process is completed, the autoloader will start the duplication
process for the blank media in the remaining drives. Master disc A will be picked
up from the appropriate drive and dropped on to the Output Spindle and the
empty drive where the master disc was removed will be loaded with the next disc
from the input bin.
If a new master is detected before the previous job is finished, the autoloader will
complete the first job, unload the completed job, and fill the drive trays with blank
discs for the next job.
The robotic arm will continue to load media into the drives as the duplicated discs are placed in the Output
Spindles. Once a writer drive (any drive) detects another Master disc, the same process is repeated for the
new Master disc.
