The remaining two boxes contain the monitor and Disc Makers Autograph on-disc inkjet printer. Please inspect the contents and verify them against your packing slip. Be sure to report any errors in shipping immediately.
Step 2 Installation of the CD Pick Arm The CD pick arm needs to be installed onto the robotic lift ring. • Remove the pick arm from its bubble wrap packaging. Included with the pick arm will be a bag containing two small black plastic rivets. These are used to hold the pick arm in place.
Step 3 Installation and Connection of AC Power, Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse. • Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into each of their color-coded connections located on the rear of the ElitePro unit. These connections are identical to the common connections of standard computers. •...
Step 4 Installation of the Autograph On-disc Printer Review the Autograph printer manual, which was included in the box with your printer. Install the print cartridge (also included in the box with your printer) according to the instructions in the printer manual before mounting your printer on the Elite duplicator.
Step 5 Network Connection You may connect a standard network connection to the rear of the ElitePro. You will need to configure the Windows XP software for the network name. Once the ElitePro boots up, make the necessary setup changes for the net- work.
Step 6 Turn the System On and Boot Up With all the cables in place and power connected, turn on the power button on the right of the ElitePro. The system will boot up and you will see program icons on the desktop. From the bottom to the top: Elite/DiscJuggler This icon starts the duplication software and autoloader.
Step 7 Start the Duplication Process You are now ready to begin a CD-R or DVD-R (if your ElitePro is a DVD-R ver- sion) duplication job or task on the ElitePro. The next steps will take you through a typical setup and usage of the ElitePro. We recommend that you fol- low these steps and produce a test job, then move on to the many other func- tions and features of the ElitePro.
