Automating Disc Duplication
2
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Elite series duplicators feature all of the hardware
and software tools that you need to publish and
print CDs or DVDs, either from an existing disc
master or an image created from a disc-ready
set of files. These capabilities let businesses or
individuals experience the benefits of cost-effec
-
tive disc duplication to distribute information to
current and prospective customers, staff members
in different locations, trading partners, and other
audiences.
The duplicator design favors ease of use and re
-
quires minimal attention during copy operations.
By automating and coordinating the duplication
and printing tasks, you can save time and effort
while achieving polished, professional results.
This User Guide covers both the ElitePRO and
Elite 2 duplicators. Where procedures or infor
-
mation are specific to only one of the duplicator
models, they are labeled as such.
Note: Do not violate copyright laws by duplicat-
ing materials for which you do not have copyright
ownership. This equipment should only be used
for legal duplication tasks consistent with the
license requirements that apply to the source ma
-
terials. Be aware of these requirements to avoid
prosecution under current copyright laws.
ElitePRO components
The self-contained ElitePRO duplicator includes
an integral computer system with these specifica
-
tions:
• 2.00GHz Intel* Celeron* processor
• 504MB of RAM
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version
2002, Service Pack 2
• 2 or 4 DVD+R DL drives
• USB serial port
• 80GB hard disk drive
The ElitePRO also features a built-in disc printer
that coordinates with the duplicator robotics for
automated operation. The disc printer can print
high-quality labels on recordable media with a
printable surface.
Standard Elite requirements
The minimum computer system requirements to
support operation of the Elite 2 duplicator are:
• 2.00GHz Intel* Celeron* processor
• 512MB of RAM
• 40GB hard disk drive, with 7200 rpm spindle
speed and 70 percent space availability
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Home,
Version 2002, Service Pack 2 or above; or
Microsoft Windows 2000.
• Two available USB 2.0 ports (USB 1.x ports
do not have sufficient throughput to support
duplicator operations; upgrade to a USB
2.0 interface card to provide the required
performance.)
Note: Faster hard drives with 10,000 rpm spindle
speeds deliver better results for demanding dupli
-
cator operations. We recommend that for optimal
duplicator throughput a system with a high-per
-
formance SATA or SCSI hard drive is used.
The Elite 2 also features a built-in disc printer
that coordinates with the duplicator robotics for
automated operation. The disc printer can print
high-quality labels on recordable media with a
printable surface.
