Using FlexWare
10
7 Check the DVD box if your relay mode op-
eration consists of DVDs to be copied.
8 Set the Copies setting to Auto. Auto must be
selected for relay mode to be used.
9 Ensure that the Print checkbox is deselected
(unless you want to use the same label for
each of the discs being duplicated; if so,
select the Print checkbox and choose a print
label file with a .PRN extension.
10 Select the Write Speed from the drop-down
list. Auto allows FlexWare to determine the
optimal speed. For older media, you may
want to reduce the recording speed to match
the media capabilities. The Audio HQ (high-
quality) setting is a slower recording speed
that minimizes disc errors for improved audio
fidelity on CDs.
Note: Make any custom settings using the op-
tions under Advanced, if required. The Advanced
settings let you determine if each copied disc will
be verified and also let you perform a Test Write
or Test Print operation before initiating the full-
scale process.
CREATING IMAGES FROM DISC
Any non-copy-protected CD or DVD can be used
to generate an image file. Image files represent
a byte-by-byte replica of the contents of a disc.
These images can be written directly to record-
able discs from the hard drive faster than if you
attempted to make a copy from one disc drive to
another.
To create an image from disc
1 Place the disc that you want to use for the
image in the disc drive.
2 Open the Create Image from Disc option
from the FlexWare program menu.
3 Select the drive in which you inserted the
disc for the image creation.
4 Choose a destination for the image file.
The default destination (C:\Documents and
Settings\ElitePRO\My Documents\FlexWare
Files\Images\flex_image.cdi) is overwritten
each time a temporary image for duplication
is created, so choose a different filename
or location if you want to use the image for
subsequent jobs. The Choose button brings
up a file selection dialog box for selecting a
destination.
5 Choose a different Read Speed, if necessary.
6 Select the DVD checkbox if you are creating
a DVD image.
7 Click the forward arrow button to proceed.
FlexWare queries if you want to use the disc
in the drive for the image. If you click OK,
the program immediately begins to generate
the image file. The progress is shown in the
Drive Information graph and Event Log.
8 When complete, FlexWare unloads the disc
from the drive tray and deposits it on the
output spindle. The image can now be ac-
cessed using the Duplicate Disc from Image
option on the FlexWare menu.
Note: FlexWare can produce an image from a
disc that is already inserted in the drive tray or it
can load the top disc from the input spindle to
start the process. You can use either technique for
this task. Place the disc in either location to start
and FlexWare will find it.
