About MF DIGITAL Thank you for purchasing MF Digital’s autoloading duplication and printing system. MF DIGITAL manufactures a wide variety of software and audio duplication and production equipment, including manual and fully automatic CD and DVD duplicators and printers. We hope you will consider us for all of your production needs.
Installing the Scribe Carefully remove the Scribe duplication system from the shipping container. Inspect the contents and verify them against the packing slip. Report any errors in shipping as soon as possible. The Scribe is available as a copy only system, or both a copy and print system. What’s In The Box The Scribe CD / DVD duplication system has a PC onboard, so there is no need to buy or dedicate a PC to operate it.
Packing Materials Please retain the original box and packaging in the event that the unit requires future servicing. This will help to reduce the possibility of damage occurring in transit. In the event that the system is shipped back to MF DIGITAL without the original box and packaging, customers will be charged for new box and packaging.
Removing Packing Restraints The Scribe ships with a picker arm restraint to reduce the possibility of damage in transit. This restraint must be removed before operation or power-on. Remove the foam block above the transfer arm. Save the foam block, as you will need to return it to its place when transporting the unit in the future. Input and Output Spindles The input areas and output spindle serve as the containers to store the blank and recorded discs.
Starting Up • If equipped, switch on the power to the printer – With PicoJet let print cartridges park. • Switch the Scribe power switch to on position. Note: The Scribe uses Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system. To get the most out of the Scribe it is recommended that users supplement this manual with an operating system guide.
Installing the Scribe Software YOU LIKELY CAN SKIP THIS STEP Your Scribe came pre-loaded with the software already installed. If for any reason you wish to re-install, it is recommended you remove the old version first. To install the Scribe software take the following steps: • Double click on the ScribeSetup and the installer screen will appear. • ScribeSetup will begin extracting the files to install. • When presented with the first dialog screen Click NEXT to continue.
Quick Start, Making Copies Starting the Scribe Application To start the Scribe application the steps are as follows: • From the desktop of the computer, click the MF Digital Scribe Icon Scribe.lnk • The Scribe application screen will now be displayed: • Place some blank CDs or DVDs into the input hopper followed by the master CD or DVD you wish to copy. If the master is a DVD you must use DVD blanks. If the master is a CD, you must use CD blanks. The Scribe will not convert between types.
Enter the desired number of copies in the “Quantity” box. If you system is equipped with a printer, you may also check “Print”. If you do so, be sure you have prepared a PRN file as detailed in the section entitled “Creating .PRN Files”. Optionally, you may use a SureThing .STD file (See appendix on SureThing Files and merge fields), or an Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Adobe PDF files should be made as ded in “Creating & Using Adobe Acrobat PDF Files”.
A note about “Ignore Low Ink Level” Competitive systems continue to attempt to print even when cartridges have run out, resulting in ruined discs. PicoJet equipped Scribe systems will stop at 4% remaining ensuring you will not waste discs. Optionally you can choose to ignore this safeguard to glean the last few discs out of a cartridge. When you are satisfied with your choices, click on “Next” to continue: • Use the default “Job Name” or enter your own such as a work order number.
The Scribe Application The Scribe is a state-of-the-art CD / DVD duplicating system. It is designed to create, duplicate and verify most standard disc formats. This startup section will guide you through starting and configuring the Scribe application.
• Click on and three new TABs will be revealed: • You may toggle between these modes, simply by enabling and disabling the Advanced Authoring Tools. Scribe Application Layout The Scribe application is organized into either two or five cards, depending on if Advance Authoring Tools enabled.
accessible by clicking on the desired TAB on the top of the screen. Tabs include Job Manager, Data Image Editor, Audio Image Editor, Settings, and Premium Utilities. By completing the information on these cards, you control the actions of the Scribe to create, duplicate and verify CDs as well as print disc labels. Tabs: Job Manager Data Image Editor* Audio Image Editor* Settings Premium Utilities* This is where jobs are started.
The Settings tab is divided into four areas: Version Information, Default folders, Printer, and Communication Ports. The field closest to the top of the tab is the Scribe’s version information. This lets you know what version of Scribe you are currently running. The settings below the version information may be customized. The following section illustrates this procedure. Settings Editor • From the Settings tab, click the Change Settings button and the following screen will be displayed.
Application Temp Folder • To choose an application temp folder, click the Browse button to the right of the Application TEMP folder field. This folder is a temporary location for your CD image to reside before and during duplication. After job completion, the image is removed. Note: You should have 10GB of free space on your hard drive specifically for this folder. The folder should always reside on a drive formatted NTFS and never FAT32 or FAT16.
• Check the box to enable “Spindle Select” mode. Note: Capacity is halved in this mode. Fill input spindles only half full. Since the first input spindle cannot double for output as it would when “Spindle Select” mode is disabled. The output will overflow if you fail to do so. Shake Disc When enabled, SHAKE DISC will perform a slight shaking motion with each pick of disc from an input hopper. If the discs are somewhat sticky, this can help in separating them.
Email Notification • This feature allows a user to receive an email when the loader requires user intervention. For example, the input hopper is empty or there is a low ink warning. Simply enter the email address and push the Set Button. This also requires a POP account to be setup on the Scribe Machine using Outlook Express. Note: When setting up the POP account in Outlook Express, the Option, “Warn me when other applications try to send email as me.” Must be unchecked.
Data image editor The first step in constructing a CD or DVD is to create an image file. Image files may be made by reading in a physical master, or by pre-mastering the disc in the Data or Audio Imager Editors. The Scribe creates industry standard data (Mode 1 ISO 9660 level 2 with Joliet extensions) and audio (Red Book) CDs from scratch as well as duplicates of existing CDs authored in most formats. Creating a data disc image To create a data disc image: • Click the Data Image Editor tab.
Image Toolbar Horizontally along the top of the screen is an area which contains ten buttons, from left to right the buttons are: New CD layout, Load CD layout [*.ISC], Save CD layout [*.ISC], CD Image properties, Create CD image [*.ISO], Record CD, Enable inserting entire contents of folder [*.*], Large Icons, Small Icons, List, and Details. Image Toolbar: New CD layout Starts a new CD or DVD Project. Any current layout is abandoned.
• Click the radio button corresponding to the capacity of the discs loaded into the Scribe. Adding Files and Folders • Click the desired file or folder in the top left or right pane (source) and hold down the mouse button. • Drag the file or folder over the CD icon in the lower left pane (fig. 1) and release the mouse button. (fig. 2) (fig. 1) • The files in the lower right pane represent the contents of the CD being created (fig. 2).
Static and Dynamic Content The Scribe allows discs to be created from both static and dynamic content. A finished CD or DVD created from static content will contain the exact files and folders that are specified when the disc image is created. A finished CD created from dynamic content will contain the files and folders that exist in specified locations at the time the job is submitted for recording (rather than when the disc image is created).
Saving The Current Disc Image File Once a data disc image has been created, it must be saved before it can be used by the Scribe as a data source for recording. Disc images can either be saved as script files (with an “ISC” extension) or physical image files (with an “.ISO” extension for CD or a .UDF for DVD). A script file (ISC) contains pointers to the source data files and is used as a guide at the time of recording the disc.
• Click the radio button corresponding to the logical file system to be used on the CD (ISO 9660, Joliet, or UDF 1.02 for DVD). • Optionally complete the volume properties information boxes: Volume Properties Volume Label Optionally enter the name you want to call the CD / DVD. Publisher Optionally enter the name of the publisher. Data Preparer Optionally enter the name of the person who prepared the disc.

Job Manager Tab A job is any production run whether it be reading-in a master (archive), copying an existing disc, copying and printing, or printing only. In addition to showing you the status of jobs, the job manager is where you will go start new jobs. • Click the Job Manager tab. The screen will now show the Job manager tab where the progress of jobs submitted for production can be easily monitored. The Status tab is divided into three panes.
The Production Process During production the blank discs will be loaded one at a time from the input spindle into the recorders and/or printer. Upon successful completion the discs will be unloaded onto the output spindle if the “print” general option is not selected. If selected, the discs will go to the printer before being placed on the output spindle. This process will continue until the job is complete and the Scribe will then advance to produce the next job in the queue according to its priority.
The Creating new job ‘New Job’ wizard offers six options. Type of Jobs: Archive only (Read-in) Copy Verify Relay Mode Print only Multi-disc archive (batch read-in) Data import This option allows you to read in the top most disc in the input bin. The disc is saved to the hard drive as an image file. This file can serve as a master for future copy and/or verify jobs. This option allows you to start a copy, or copy & print job from an existing image or from a new master disc.
Archive only – reading in a master disc An Archive job allows you to read-in an existing master to create a disc image file. DVDs will be saved as .UDF files and CDs to .IMG files. These files may be used later when starting a COPY job. If you will not need to copy this master again, you can read & copy in one step by starting a COPY job, and selecting MASTER DISC as displayed in the next section. 1. Select the “Archive only” button as seen in (fig. 1). (fig. 1) 2.
4. The “Job parameters” will then be displayed. Give your job a name and select a priority. 5. Click “Finish” and the Scribe will run the job. Page 41 (fig.
Copy and / or Verify This allows you to start copying or verifying from an image file, or a new master disc. 1. Select the “Copy and/or Verify” button as seen in (fig. 1). 2. Click “Next”. (fig. 1) 3. Select the Image source for your job. This can be an ISC, IMG, UDF or a master disc that you place on top of the blank discs. The Scribe will archive (read-in) the contents of the master and copy the contents to as many discs as are indicated in the quantity box.
Speed The recording speed pull-down allows you to set the recording speed as determined by the capabilities of the recorders installed in the Scribe. Print first When checked, Scribe will print the disc before copying. This is require when printing to BizCDs. 5. You will then enter the quantity of discs toward the bottom of the screen, then click the ‘Next’ button. 6. If you choose ‘Print’, you will b prompted to select a label file (fig. 3).
Relay mode job Relay mode allows you to make multiple copies of multiple masters. Simply load the unit with the desired number of blank discs, then the master such that the master sits on top of the blanks. Then load in more blanks followed by the next master and so on. The end result will be copies of each master placed in to the input bin(s). 1. Select the Relay-mode job button as seen in (fig. 1). 2. Click Next. (fig. 1) 3. Select the Operations and options for the relay mode job. 4. Click Next. 5.
If needed, you can move files up and down in the list until the order of PRN files matches the order in which your masters were loaded (fig.4). (fig. 4) 6. The Job parameters will then be displayed. Give your job a name and select a priority. 7. Click Finish and the Scribe will run the job. (fig. 4) 7. The Job parameters will then be displayed. Give your job a name and select a priority. 8. Click Finish and the Scribe will run the job.
Print only job Print only job allows you print discs without first duplicating them. 1. On the Job Manager TAB, click the New button to the right of the Queued jobs area to start a new job. Select the Print only button as seen in (fig. 1). 2. Click Next . 3. Click Browse and locate the label file that you would like to use, either a .PRN, an Adobe Acrobat .PDF, or SureThing .STD file. See the appendices of this manual for tips on working with these files. 4. Enter a quantity of discs for the job.
Multi-disc Archive – reading in several masters at a time Similar to an archive job, used to read-in an existing master disc to create an image file, multi-disc archive lets you read in several masters in batch. DVDs will be saved as .UDF files and CDs to .IMG files. These files may be used later when starting a COPY job. 1. On the Job Manager TAB, click the New button to the right of the Queued jobs area to start a new job. Select the Multi-disc archive button as seen in (fig. 1). 2. Click Next. (fig.
desired filename and click the ‘Save’ button when you are happy with your entry. Be sure to always leave the .IMG filename extension (fig 4). 4. Click NEXT, and the confirmation screen depicted in fig. 5 will be displayed. Load the masters into the input bin. The top-most disc will be assigned the first image filename on the list, so be sure you the discs loaded in the correct order. 5. Click the ‘Finish' to launch the batch readin job. Page 48 (fig. 4) (fig.
Data Import – Ripping data CDs or DVDs While the Archive, or multi-disc Archive job options allow you read in a CD or DVD to create a single file image of that disc, a ‘Data import’ job allows you to copy the directory structure of a CD or DVD to local or network storage location(must be a mapped drive). You can even set up multiple batches with one batch writing to one location, and the other writing to their own user defined paths.
‘Customized’ allows you to choose the sub-folder name of each disc in the batch to rip. This sub folder will be created within the main destination folder. By default, the first disc will be copied to a sub-folder called Disc1, the second to Disc2, and so on (fig 3). If you wish to modify this, double click on the entry you wish to change (fig 4). Select the desired destination folder, if other than the default, then enter the desired subfolder name in the file name text box then click save.
Multi Disc Batch Jobs The Multi Disc Batch Job feature allows the user to submit multiple jobs in one submission using a CSV file. A CSV file can be created using any of the following applications: Excel, notepad, etc. When you click on new job, the Multi Disc Batch Job Radio Button appears on the list. As shown in the picture to the right. The syntax for a CSV file looks like this: MDBJ,C:\Reserved for Tech Support\Test Files\Test Image Files\TEST DVD\UDF image 5MB.
Scribe CSV Syntax Note: If you are not familiar with the syntax of a CSV, Excel is recommended method of creating one. In a CSV, each value is separated by a comma. We will use the example below to explain. Sample line in a CSV: MDBJ,C:\Reserved for Tech Support\Test Files\Test Image Files\TEST DVD\UDF image 5MB.udf , C:\Reserved for Tech Support\Test Files\Test Print FIles\TEST PRNs\Teac P55\p55_VMAX.prn, , v,job4,Y The table below illustrates how to read the example above.
Log Files The Scribe maintains two log files; JOB.LOG and JOB.LOG.CSV. These files are written to the folder defined on the settings TAB. JOB.LOG This is a simple text file that can be viewed using Notepad, Wordpad, Word, or any other word processor that supports ASCI TEXT files. It is formatted so that it is easily readable by the user. Job name: New Job Start time: 11/16/06 19:17:38 Completion time: 11/16/06 19:20:24 Status: Aborted by user (Input hopper empty).
Appendix A: Creating SureThing (.STD) files. Supported Printers You can submit the .STD file extension for the following printers: Picojet 6000, P55C, and Prism Plus Creating the SureThing Label file (.STD) • To create a SureThing label file, open SureThing CD Labeler, and click on the FILE button. • Now Select New, the following dialog will appear.
You will now have a new template to design your label on. Note at the top of the template, SureThing will inform you which template you are working with (see red box). When your label is complete, Select the FILE menu and choose save. As shown in the image to the right.. The SAVE AS dialog will appear, in the Filename box below, type in the name of your label file. We suggest that you save the file in the D:/Labels folder on your MF Digital Scribe System.
Appendix B: Creating .PRN Files (Prism Plus) Printer Driver setup Before you create your first print label, you must first set a couple of printer defaults. Once you have done this, you need not repeat this step again unless you reinstall the printer driver. • Double-click MY COMPUTER on the desktop, then click on CONROL PANEL. From the control panel, click on PRINTERS AND FAXES. Rightclick on RIMAGE PERFECT IMAGE PRINTER PF and select properties.
Making a .PRN label file Next, we will create a “.prn” file by printing the document to a file instead of routing it directly to a printer. You will be prompted to specify the filename and location. This puts the document in a format that the Scribe can use for printing. Follow the instructions below to create a .prn. • Use the CD Designer that was included with your Prism Plus software to create label. When a label file is saved in CD Designer it is given a .BTW extension.
Appendix C: Creating .PRN Files (PicoJet) If you have not already read the manual that accompanied your PicoJet printer, now would b a good time. Here is a recap on h0w to make “.PRN” files for use with your PicoJet CD / DVD printer and {C copier. Printer Driver setup Before you create your first print label, you must first set a couple of printer defaults. Once you have done this, you need not repeat this step again unless you reinstall the printer driver.
Making a .PRN label file • Select the MF Digital PicoJet 600 and click “Finish”. • Design your CD / DVD label.
• If you plan to edit this file later, it is best to save it now. Click on FILE-SAVE Enter a filename to save your label to a SureThing “.STD” file. To create the compatible file, a PRN file, click on FILE-PRINT: • Be sure to leave “No. of Labels” set to 1. Under “Additional Options” at the bottom of this dialog box, click on “Advanced” and check off “Print to File”. • Click on OK and then you will be returned to the “print” main dialog box.
• Type in the path and desired filename, but be sure to retain the .PRN file extension. In the example above, we will be creating 1.PRN in the “labels” folder. Folder will not automatically be created. Folders in the path MUST already exist. It is a good idea choose the labels folder defined on the settings TAB of the Scribe software. • You have usefully created a PRN file! Note:. A .prn file cannot be edited. It contains information to create the image, and the settings of the particular printer.
Appendix D: Creating & Using Adobe Acrobat PDF Files It may be more convenient for you to use Adobe Acrobat .PDF files rather than .PRN files. This can be the case when you prefer to use an application such as Adobe Photoshop, which we will use in our example below. MF Digital Duplication systems allow you to create your disc labels using the popular Adobe Acrobat File .PDF file format for printing. To make this process simple, MF Digital has created PDF templates for you to design your artwork on.
(Note: For our purposes, this is NOT a tutorial on the use of Photoshop. You should already be familiar with its use.) • • • After you lay out your design, the template layer needs to be “turned off”. This is done by using the layers palette (red square, Fig. D). You will notice that to the left of each layer is an eye. Clicking the eye will turn that layer off. Notice the template now disappears. Fig. E Fig.
Appendix E How to setup SureThing CD Labeler to Merge with a CSV document. Your Scribe Series software now allows you to print using the SureThing Document file, STD for short. Using this file type gives you the flexibility to print unique information on your discs. To take advantage of this feature. Please follow the steps below. Step 1: Launch the SureThing CD Labeler and choose the correct template for your Printer. For this example we will set this up using the Prism Plus Printer.
Up to now, you could print this label and it would remain constant for each disc you planned to print. But we want to print some information that is unique for each disc. To do this, a merge field must be added and we have to tell SureThing where to get this data from so it can print it. Creating your data merge file (CSV) A very simple CSV can be created in Notepad, an application that is apart of the Windows Operating System. You can also use Microsoft Excel and simply export to a CSV format.
To export the Excel spreadsheet as a CSV, do the following. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Click the File Menu. Choose Save As Change the Save As Type drop down menu to CSV. Name your CSV file Select a location, and choose Save Step 3: Now that we have our CSV file all set, lets Merge it with our STD File. In SureThing, click the Insert Menu, and choose Insert Merge Field. The Insert Field Dialog appears.
Step 4: Now click the Set Merge File button. Now the Set Merge File Dialog appears. Locate your CSV File and select it. Once selected, click the Set button on the right. You’ll notice the window in the center of Insert Field Dialog has now changed. It now contains the name of Field 1. This is the Field that we are going to use. Select it and Press the Insert button. The field will be inserted behind this dialog.
SureThing has now inserted the Field, giving it the name of that field’s place holder, Field 1. In the example to the right, we have moved the Field to the print on the right side of the disc. Step 5: From the File Menu, choose Save, choose a location, give the STD a filename, and click Save. Using Headers in your CSV Document If you would like your CSV Document to contain headers., this option is supported and can be easily be implemented. Headers are the names of each of the fields.
Shown in the example to the right, the first line contains a field name, entitle Names. In this example, please note the option, “use first record for field names” is checked which is indicated by the red box. Selecting this option tells SureThing that your CSV contains Headers and the first record contains field names.
In this example, when you insert a field, you can see the field name “Names” has appeared in the Insert Field Dialog Box rather then the generic Field 1 name. At this point you can click the Insert Button and the field will be inserted into your design. As you can see the field has been inserted but with the name of the field, “Names”. Now you can save the document. Client and STD Files with Merge Although Client supports the printing of STD files, it DOES NOT support STD files with merge.
NOTE: If you are using this method, make sure your STD and CSV are not linked. If so, you must clear the link which can be done in SureThing on the Set Merge File Dialog. Click the check box labeled Clear Merge File and then click Set. The “link” will now by broken. To implement this method utilizing UNC, following the steps below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. On the Local Machine, create a shared folder, for example, name the folder MERGE Now copy your STD and CSV File to the Shared Folder.
Appendix F: Low Ink Warnings (when printing with PicoJet) When printing with PicoJet, you will receive two individual low ink warning dialogs. The first one will prompt at 4%. See Fig. 1. below. Low Ink Warning Warning: Color Cartridge is low. You may Install a new cartridge now and click ‘Resume’ to continue or click ‘Resume’ to produce up to 10 more prints with low ink, or click ‘Cancel’ to abort the job (Fig. 1) When ink reaches a critical low, Scribe will prompt the following dialog (Fig. 2).
