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 20 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 drive 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 Tray opens automatically and the Robotic
Disc Transporter places a disc into the recorder. After the
disc is placed in the recorder, the Robotic Disc Transporter
checks the input stack to "see" if two discs were picked.
4. The Recorder Tray then automatically shuts. 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 Output Bin.
5. The Recorder is now writing to the disc. If you were to
fully record a CD with data, audio, video or music (650
MB), recording time is about 3 fi 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 Recorder Tray opens automatically.
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.
6. If publishing more than one disc, the Robotic Disc
Transporter will load the Recorder Drive with a blank disc
from the Input Bin to start recording the next round.
