Main Menu 

There are 6 different Main Menu items for the Copywriter Flash Duplicator: Copy, Compare, Copy 
& Compare, Information, Utility, and Setup.   For the Setup options, please refer to page 9. 
These instructions refer to using 11 USB recorder ports (available only in the USB 11 Flash 
Duplicator), but the instructions will not differ when using any of the Copywriter Flash Duplicators.  
Any Copywriter Flash Duplicator model will operate using any number of the available recorder 
ports. 

Copy 

The Copy function is used to copy our master card to the blank cards.  The steps taken will be 
different if you are in Asynchronous or Synchronous duplication.   

Asynchronous Duplication 

The Copywriter Flash Duplicator will automatically copy Asynchronously if the source content 
is less than the duplicator’s memory buffer size, which is displayed during boot-up. The 

Analyze Source

 setting in the Setup menu must be set to 

ON

 to enable Asynchronous 

Duplication (see page 10). 
When the 

Analyze Source

 setting is 

ON

 and the source is 

smaller than the duplicator’s buffer size, the source card 
will first be read from the Reader port into the internal 
memory.  The internal memory contents will then be 
compared to the source contents.  Once the compare is complete, duplication will begin from 
the internal memory to the target cards.   
Once the source has been read into the internal memory and successfully compared, the 
source card can be removed from the Reader port.  You can then use the Reader port as a 
Recorder port until a new master card needs to be duplicated. 
While in Asynchronous mode, each blank flash card will be written to the moment the 
duplicator recognizes the card.  As each card finishes, the LED above that card will stop 
flashing and can be removed and replaced.  Once the new card is recognized, duplication to 
that card will automatically begin.   
The display will show you how many cards have been 
successfully duplicated, how many have failed, and how 
many are currently being duplicated. 

Asyn Hold Time Setting 

Since the Reader port will be usable as a recorder port once the source has been read and 
confirmed in the duplicator’s internal memory, there is the risk that a new source card will be 
placed in the Reader port while an Asynchronous duplication is in progress, which the 
duplicator will then overwrite with the stored data.   
The 

Asyn Hold Time

 setting will help prevent this from occurring (see page 10).  This setting 

allows you to specify the amount of time the duplicator will wait with no detected target cards 
before exiting an Asynchronous duplication job.   
Please note that 

all

 ports must be empty, not simply finished duplicating before this setting is 

effective.  Leaving the source card in the Reader port will also keep the duplicator in 
Asynchronous duplication mode. 
When there are no target cards detected, you will be 
asked if you want to exit the Copy mode for the current 
saved source data.  Press the 

OK

 button to return to the 

Main Menu, or 

ESC

 to continue with the same saved 

source data .
