Introduction to Duplication Mode
This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive” process to a single step.
There are three features under “Duplication mode”:
1. On the Fly
2. Load and Copy
3. Prompt
On the Fly
This mode instructs the duplicator to copy directly from the Master Disc. The
duplicator performs simultaneous read and write operations without any delays.
Advantage:
Ideal for small quantity quick duplication.
Disadvantage:
Requires a Master Disc for each and every run. (Could be harmful for the
Master Disc.)
Maximum DVD duplication speed is typically limited under 8x.
Requires the Master Disc to be in excellent condition for error free duplication.
Load and Copy
This mode instructs the duplicator to load your Master Disc into the built-in hard
drive partition called “Reserved” and make the requested quantity of copies directly
from the hard drive. The content will remain stored in the “Reserved” partition,
available for future duplications of the same project until you perform this function
again with a new master or manually rename or delete the content from Hard Drive
Setup. Once a new master is used for Load and Copy, the “Reserved” partition will
be overridden or one will be created if it didn’t exist.
Advantage:
Faster duplication in a long run. (Un-Restricted DVD Duplication speed
supported by the duplication blank media.)
Stable duplication.
Reliable duplication.
Prompt
If you set to “Prompt”, when you go to 1. Copy, you will be asked if you want to do
“Load and Copy” or “on the Fly”. If you set Duplication Mode to “Load and Copy” or
“On the Fly”, you will not be prompted when you go to 1. Copy. The duplicator will do
what you have selected in Duplication Mode.
