Load Drive F/W
The drive manufacturer may update the software that is used by the
recorder drives from time to time. This could be for bug fixes, new
features or format support, or to optimize the recording quality on new
media as it becomes available.
A file containing
Global DiscWare
approved drive firmware can be
obtained from the
Global DiscWare web site
, or
Global DiscWare
authorized distributors. This is the ONLY file that should be used to
update the drives. Do not attempt to use any other file, as it may contain
firmware that has not been approved by
Global DiscWare
, and may
function incorrectly.
VERY IMPORT NOTE
:
It is
VERY IMPORTANT
that you do not turn off the power while this
function is running.
Turning off the power before the Duplicator has
completed the drive upgrade may leave your CD recorders in a
state where they no longer function correctly
. If you are in any doubt
about this, please contact Global DiscWare, or an authorized Global
DiscWare distributor before using this feature.
The update process is very simple, but user confirmation is requested
several times before the drives are actually updated. The drive firmware
update file
MUST
be located in the root directory of a standard ISO9660
CD-ROM. Choose the menu item
Utilities | Firmware Utilities | Load Drive F/W
and
follow the prompts on the LCD.
Load Loader F/W
Very occasionally, there may be an updated version of loader firmware
available for download. This is the menu entry that will allow you to load
this onto your autoloader. For the reliability of your system, only install
Global DiscWare
released firmware onto your system.
VERY IMPORT NOTE
