Codonics Virtua automatically manages studies stored on the hard drive and removes the oldest studies that have been successfully recorded to disc to make space for new studies. No studies are removed until space is needed. When space is needed for new incoming studies, the oldest study that has been recorded to disc is deleted from the hard drive.
Page 124
Additionally, the system can be configured to automatically delete recorded studies that are older than a preset number of days. For information about setting this parameter, refer to “Setting Up the System Profile” on page 3-16. The postProcessingAction parameter in a Job Profile can also be used to have a study be deleted immediately after it is recorded.

The Codonics Virtua device supports preinstalled and site-specific customized disc labels, on which site and study information is printed. Job Profiles specify which label to use for a recording job. For jobs that are manually submitted for recording, the label specified in the Job Profile can be overridden using the Job Options function.
Page 138
The purpose of label design families is to maximize the amount of graphical content on the label used for promotional purposes. As the number of studies recorded on a disc increases, Virtua can automatically choose a label in the same design family that allows more studies to be listed on the label.
Page 139
The Virtua device supports specifying different labels based on the disc copy type—physician, patient, anonymous, or legal. This allows a site to use the Ink Saver label for in-house physicians but a more attractive label for patients.
