6 Getting Started
F. OVERVIEW OF OPERATION
Your new Publisher is an automated, precision device intended
for continuous-duty publishing of discs. The following is a
description of the complete process of duplicating and printing
a CD/DVD job on your Publisher:
1.
Up to 50 blank discs may be loaded at one time into the
Input Bin.
2. The Publisher's integrated Robotic Disc Transporter will
first check your recorder drives for a disc by attempting
to"pick" from the recorder. Then, the Robotic Disc
Transporter will pick a disc from the Input Bin.
3. The Recorder Trays open automatically and the Robotic
Disc Transporter places a disc into the each of the
recorders. After each disc is placed in the recorder, the
Robotic Disc Transporter checks the input stack to "see" if
two discs were picked.
4. The Recorder Trays then automatically shut. If a disc does
not record properly (meaning that all or part of that disc is
not recordable), the Robotic Disc Transporter picks it out of
the CD Tray and sends it to the Reject Area.
5. The Recorders are now writing to the discs. If you were to
fully record a CD with data, audio, video or music (650
MB), recording time is about 3 ½ minutes each. A full DVD
records in about 7-15 minutes depending on the speed of
the media to which you are recording. Most jobs don't fill
the entire disc, so recording time is usually less than this.
After recording, the bottom Recorder Tray opens automati-
cally. The Robotic Disc Transporter will lift the disc out of
the Recorder Tray. The Recorder Tray will close, and the
Printer Tray will open. The Robotic Disc Transporter will
lower the disc into the Printer Tray, and the Printer Tray
will then automatically close. The Robotic Disc Transporter
will now pick the second disc from the top Recorder Tray
and temporarily place in the Output Bin.
