Talon CD Duplicator

Copy and Compare

The copy and compare (copy +comp) operation Status is used for data CDs. This operation
makes copies (as described in the copy operation above) and then compares the copies to the
master source (the hard disk image or the master CD). When you use this operation Status, the
discs that have been successfully duplicated will be temporarily ejected and then automatically
re-inserted for the compare operation. Discs that experience successful compare operations will
be ejected automatically after comparison. The failed CD discs will remain in the CD writers.
Press the Status button to eject the failed discs (if any).
To copy and compare:
Ensure that the setup sub-functions are correct; i.e., make sure of the following:
§
Write method is set to Trk At Once
§
CD and G is set to Yes
§
All other sub-function settings are set to their default settings
Place the master CD in the CD reader (top CD drive).
Place blank CD(s) in the CD writer(s) drives. The system will automatically analyze the master
CD, display the number of megabytes, and display the total time of the CD (in minutes and
seconds).
When you are copying and comparing any less than seven CDs, you must press the Start button at
the prompt, start>, where n is the number of CD drives that have blank CDs ready for copying.
When you fill all six of the CD writers, the copy and compare operation starts automatically.
As the system performs the copy operation, it will display L and C status codes, where L
represents the number of minutes read, and C represents the number of minutes written. When
they both equal the total number of minutes of the CD, then the copy operation is complete.
The discs that have been successfully copied will be temporarily ejected, and then automatically
re-inserted for the compare operation. Again, the L status code represents the number of minutes
read from the master, and the C represents the number of minutes compared.
When the copy and compare operation is complete, you will hear a three-tone beep, the
successful copies will be automatically ejected, and the LCD display panel will indicate how
many CDs passed and how many failed:
PASS 1
If for any reason the system does not start the analysis process, check the master CD for its
integrity.
FAIL 0
