Loading Discs
To load the discs, remove the disc
spindle and turn it upside down.
Twist the end of the spindle, so the
bottom section is flush with the rest of
the spindle.
Load the discs in upside down, so the
recording side of the disc is up. Load the
blank discs first, then the master disc
last.
If you wish to copy multiple masters,
load the number of blank discs you want
to copy, then your master disc. Then
load the next batch of blanks and the
next master disc. You can repeat this
process until you have 50 discs loaded
on the spindle. You can mix in CD and
DVD masters, but your blank discs must
be the same as the master. You cannot
copy CD masters to DVD-R discs or
DVD masters to CD-R discs. Remember,
50 discs is the maximum number of
discs the system will hold.
Once the discs are loaded on the spindle,
rotate the end of the spindle, so that the
bottom of the shaft is offset to one side.
Place your hand between the spindle top
and black metal plate at the base of the
spindle. Lift the disc stack up until the
top disc is resting against the offset post.
Then turn over the spindle. The discs
will be held in place by the
offset portion
at the bottom of the spindle.
Place the spindle in the front of the
duplicator, aligning the arrow with the
front of the duplicator. The spindle will
lock into place and is ready for use.
System Modes
The Micro Orbit system can run in two
modes, TEST and COPY.
TEST mode will simulate writing to the
blank discs. This mode is used for
testing your master discs and blank discs
without the risk of wasting your blanks.
To enter TEST mode, press and hold the
button. The system will beep once,
pause, then beep twice. Release the
button. The system is now in test mode.
Again, this mode will not write any data
to the blank discs.
Write Mode will record the information
from your master disc to the blank discs.
To enter Write mode, press the button
once. The system will beep once and the
green led will start blinking. The
duplication process will begin by loading
your master disc to the internal hard
drive and then copying the information
to the blank discs.
Running in TEST Mode
TEST mode can be used to make sure
your master disc is readable and your
blank discs are recordable, without
wasting any blank discs.
Load the spindle with your discs, as
described earlier. To run the system in
TEST mode, press and hold the button.
The system will beep once, pause, then
beep twice. Release the button.
The first disc will be loaded into the
recorder and the information will be
copied to the internal hard drive.
Once this is complete, the master disc
will be removed from the recorder and
placed in the output bin.
The first blank disc will now be loaded
into the recorder and the system will
simulate writing to that disc. Once
completed, the disc will be ejected and
placed in the output bin.
This process will continue until the
system runs out of discs.
The system will beep once the job is
complete. Press the button once and the
green LED will become solid.
The system is now ready for the next job
in test mode.
The blank discs will remain blank during
this process and can be used again.
Running in COPY Mode
COPY mode is used when you are ready
to make your copies.
Load the spindle with your discs, as
described earlier. To run the system in
COPY mode, press the button on the
front of the unit 1 time.
The system will beep one time and the
green LED will start to blink.
The first disc will be loaded into the
recorder and the information will be
copied to the internal hard drive.
Once this is complete, the master disc
will be removed from the recorder and
placed in the output bin.
The first blank disc will now be loaded
into the recorder and the system will
write to that disc. Once completed, the
disc will be ejected and placed in the
output bin.
This process will continue until the
system runs out of discs.
