Using the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower
Disc Spanning
To use Disc Spanning go to Setup and enable Disc Spanning. When you want to copy
a Memory Card which has a content size bigger than a disc, the DVD/CD Flash Copy
Tower will automatically estimate the number of blank discs required for the job and
execute Disc Spanning. Whenthelesizeisveryclosetothewritablespaceonthe

CDFlashCopyTowerdisplays“WaitingDisc”. For example, when you copy an SD
Card with over 2GB content size to CDs, you place a CD into the burner, and the DVD/
CD Flash Copy Tower will calculate total number of discs to back up this SD Card (4
discs for this example, see Setup → Advanced Setup → DVD/CD/Spare Size on page 24
of this User Guide for seting writable space on DVD/CD). If you place a DVD (4.7G)
to copy, the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will start copying without requiring additional
discs.

When a disc is nished copying, it will be ejected. If the Disc Spanning process is
not complete, the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will prompt you for a new blank disc
to continue the copying.

Memory Card that has a single file whose content size is bigger than a
