DUPLICATING DISCS FROM IMAGES

You can start a duplication job from any valid disc

image that has been pre-stored on your system.

To create a disc from an image

1 Choose the Duplicate Disc from Image op-

tion from the FlexWare program menu.

2 In the Image selection area, choose the ﬁle-

name and location for the image to be used

for the disc write operation.

3 If you want to print a label on the disc, select

the Print checkbox and choose the appropri

ate .PRN ﬁle to use for the label image.

4 Select the number of Copies to produce and

the Write Speed for the operation.

5 If the image represents a DVD, select the

DVD checkbox.

6 Click the forward arrow to start the disc cre-

ation. FlexWare retrieves a blank disc, loads

it in a drive, and begins the write operation.

If you have speciﬁed Auto as the number of

copies, FlexWare will load each available

drive and continue writing until the input

spindle is empty.

7 At the conclusion of the write operation,

FlexWare unloads the completed discs and

places them on the output spindle. The indi-

vidual steps of the operation can be viewed

in the Event Log.

Note: If FlexWare detects bad media during the

disc burning operation, the disc pick arm will

deposit the media in the discard region in front of

the disc drives.

PURGING IMAGES FROM THE

SYSTEM

FlexWare normally creates a single disc image

for a DVD or CD duplication that is stored on the

hard disk drive. Unless stored in a different loca

tion or with a different ﬁlename, this image, called

ﬂex_image.cdi, is overwritten by subsequent copy

operations. You can continue to perform ongo-

ing duplication jobs if you use this default image

name without adding large image ﬁles to your

hard disk drive.
