Error Conditions
If the system cannot read a master disc
or fails to write to a blank disc, the
system will stop operation and produce a
constant beeping noise. This error
condition will occur if it detects a bad
disc in either TEST or COPY mode.
When a defective disc is detected, the
recorder drive tray will open and the disc
will be lifted out of the tray.
The tray will then close and the system
will produce the constant beeping noise.
Remove the completed discs from the
output bin and press the button. This
will drop the failed disc.
Once the disc is dropped, the system will
be ready to start another job. If you need
to complete more copies, you will need
to place the master disc back on the
spindle and have it read into the hard
drive again.
Firmware Update
If it is necessary to update the system
program in the Micro Orbit duplicator,
please follow these steps.
Hold down on the button and turn on
power to the Micro Orbit system. The
system will beep once. Release the
button. After a few seconds, the drive
tray will open.
Remove the Media spindle and the
output bin from the system.
Place the firmware CD into the drive
tray and close it.
The system will automatically load the
new firmware. The two LED’s on the
front of the unit will flash.
Once the firmware is loaded, the drive
tray will open.
Remove the firmware CD and close the
drive tray.
Turn power off, wait 5 seconds and then
turn power back on.
The system is now ready to use, with the
new firmware installed.

Micro Orbit
Overview
The Micro Orbit is a 50-disc, batch-load duplicator. It has only one button to operate
its simulation and copy modes. Masters are read into the internal hard drive through
the recorder, eliminating the need for a separate reader. Masters and blanks can be
interleaved on the input spindle to allow for batch mode processing. When the
system recognizes a new master, it reads it into the hard drive then ejects the master
into the output bin and starts recording the next series of blanks until it runs out of
media or recognizes a new master in the drive.
System Setup
Using the Micro Orbit duplicator is very easy. Plug in power, turn on your system,
load the system with media and press a button. When the system is turned on, the
green LED will flash, as it goes through the initialization stage. When initialization is
complete, the green LED will be on solid. Press the button once to start COPY mode
or hold the button until you hear two beeps, to start TEST mode. Both modes are
explained in more details later in this document.
