Appendix A: Hidden Advanced Setup Menu
The following functions were developed primarily to be used for quality control, support, troubleshooting
and further customization to better fit your needs. If you are not familiar with these features, please do not
use them without first contacting Kanguru Solutions.
In order to access these functions, press and hold the ESC button for approximately 5 seconds. Release the
ESC button and then quickly press and hold the ENT button for approximately 3 seconds then release. If you
performed this action correctly, you will see a second Advanced Setup menu different from the Advanced
Setup menu described in section
“3.13.14 Advanced Setup” on page 43
. While in the Advanced Setup
menu, you can press the ESC button at any time to return to the Main Menu.
1.
Burn In (Test)
- The Burn In Test function will continuously perform a Test process that will check
the system component stability and reliability. A Master disc (or a Disc Image file in the hard drive)
and a set of blank media are required for this function.
2.
Burn In (Cpy+Cmp)
- The Burn In Copy & Compare function will continuously perform the Copy
& Compare process. The purpose of this function is primarily to test the RW media’s life span as well
as the Writer drive’s recording stability. A Master disc (or a Disc Image file in the hard drive) and a set
of RW media are required for this function.
3.
Burn In (Compare)
- The Burn In Compare function will continuously perform the Compare process.
The purpose of this function is to test the system component data transfer accuracy. A Master disc (or
a Disc Image file in the hard drive) and a set of identically copied media are required to perform this
function.
4.
Burner Model Consistency
- When the Burner Model Consistency setting is set to On (default), the
system will not allow the Duplicator to perform the Copy process if any of the Writer drives’ model
numbers and/or firmware versions are not the same. The benefit of this feature is to ensure the best
duplication quality by ensuring that all Writer drives are the same make and model and have the same
firmware version. Otherwise, the Copy process may become unstable when using mix and matched
drives. By changing the Burner Model Consistency to Off, it will allow the copy process to perform
regardless of whether the Writer drives have different model numbers and/or firmware versions.
5.
M-Code Consistency
- When the M-Code Consistency setting is set to On (default), the Duplicator will
check to make sure that all of the blank media loaded into the Duplicator have the same manufacturer
code (M-Code) before it will begin the Copy process. If any of the M-Codes differ, the Copy process
will not initiate and an error will be issued. The advantage of having this feature set to On is that
attempting to burn different media with different burn speeds could upset the Copy process. When the
M-Code Consistency setting is set to Off, the Duplicator will allow different media to be burned in
the same run.
6.
Show Burn Time
- When the Show Burn Time setting is set to On, the system will display the overall
time it takes for functions like Copy, Test and Compare to perform upon their completion. The default
setting is Off.
