Using Utilities
22
Caution: If performed improperly, this procedure
can cause problems with the duplicator opera
-
tions. Consult with Disc Makers support if you
need assistance with this procedure.
To set positions
1 Open the Utilities option and select the Set
Positions tab. The Set Positions dialog box
appears.
2 Click the Retrieve Current button to display
the existing settings.
3 Use the slider bar for the Printer, Drive, Input,
and Output positions. On the Printer and
Drive side, a negative value repositions the
arm closer to the printer. A positive value
moves the arm away from the printer. On
the Input and Output side, a negative value
moves the arm further left; a positive value,
further right. A value that is plus or minus 10
may be necessary to physically see a change
in the movement of the arm.
4 Click the Submit button to apply the position
settings.
5 Click the Test Positions button to cycle
through the positions and check the new
alignment.
6 Repeat the adjustments as required until you
have each position properly calibrated.
Correct setting of the positions is essential to
smooth operation of the duplicator. If you do
not have the positions correctly set, the pick arm
may drop media while loading or unload it in the
wrong position on the printer or disc trays, jam

ming operations.
USING MANUAL CONTROLS
The Manual Control tab under Utilities offers a
means to operate the individual components of
the autoloader using single-step commands. This
provides a valuable tool for isolating problems
with the automated mechanisms and pick arm.
To use the manual controls
1 Open the Utilities option and select the
Manual Control tab.
2 Click the Calibrate button to gain access to
the single-step controls. FlexWare displays
the available buttons.
3 Use the buttons to test individual functions.
The program displays a message indicating
the status of the operation—whether suc-
cessful or not.
4 Take any corrective actions necessary accord-
ing to how these single-step functions are
performed. For example, if an error message
appears “Error Getting CD,” the Set Posi-
tions controls may be able to realign the pick
arm movement to better retrieve a disc.
Note: To use the Insert to Drive control, you must
first manually open the appropriate drive tray us
-
ing the front-panel button. To use the Print from
Drive control, the program prompts you to first
open the drive tray and place a disc in the tray.
CHANGING THE CONFIGURATION
The Configuration tab under Utilities lets you
enable or disable the disc recorders and printer
available to FlexWare. You can also update the
configured autoloader as required.
To change the enabled drives
1 Select the Configuration tab under Utilities.
2 Check or uncheck the drives shown in the
dialog box to set up the appropriate configu
-
ration.
3 Click the Update button to confirm your
changes and update the configuration ac
-
cording to the new settings.
Note: For most duplication tasks, at least one
drive must be available to FlexWare to perform an
operation. Do not disable all drives if you intend
to perform a duplication job.
