Disc Placement Issue
Another common problem when using an autoloader is the placement of media onto the spindles. Placing
the media onto the spindles properly can avoid possible picking errors when operating the autoloader. Even
though the autoloader is designed with certain tolerance adjustments to prevent mishandling by the picking
arm, failures may still arise if the spindles are not loaded correctly. All media loaded onto the spindles
should be flat and not slanted at an angle to ensure the picking arm can securely grab the disc with all 3
vacuum suction heads. Be sure to not load too many discs onto the spindle as well as this may cause errors
in placement and loading. The diagram 1-2 below demonstrates the proper and incorrect disc placements
when loading media onto the spindles.

Spindles vs. Bins
The Disc Makers ReflexAuto has up to 5 spindles for holding CDs and/or DVD s. Although the manual
refers to them as spindles, many of the messages shown on the LCD display refer to them as bins in order
to create more concise messages. Don t panic. Spindles and bins are the same.
