CopyDisc Duplicator Series When the printing process begins, blanks discs are transported one at a time from input basket/spindle No.1 and placed into the waiting printer tray. Once printed, the discs are transported from the tray onto output spindle No.4. When all the blank discs from input basket/spindle No.1 have been exhausted, the CopyDisc XC automatically moves onto the blank discs from input basket/spindle No.2 As the original output spindle (No.4) is full from printing all the discs...
Page 11
CopyDisc Duplicator Series IMPORTANT: The CopyDisc XC uses three input baskets/spindles in order to accomplish the 660 disc capacity. The media is moved from spindle to spindle via the printer in a specific cycle and it is therefore essential that certain rules are followed in order to achieve perfect operation. Normally the input baskets/spindles can only be replenished with new media at the end of a spindle cycle and not at the end of or part way through a job.
