SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED
A. Introduction
Thank you . . .
. . . for purchasing a Conductor Printer Autoloader. This device automates the transport of up to
50 optical discs (CD-R, DVD-R, etc.) per batch into and out of a Primera Technology Signature III
CD Color Printer or Inscripta Thermal CD Printer. Designed for reliable, unattended operation,
Conductor will automatically and effortlessly print anything from a just a few CDs to hundreds or
thousands of discs per day. Conductor is suitable for use in office or production environments and
fits conveniently on any desktop.
To begin using your new Conductor, please read this entire manual carefully. You will also need to
reference the Operator’s Manual for the CD printer you’ll be using with Conductor, so be sure to
have it handy before proceeding.
Owners of earlier model FARGO Signature and FARGO/Primera Technology Signature II CD Color
Printers may also integrate their printers to Conductor. However, a slight modification to the
installation procedure (explained later in this manual) will likely be necessary.
B. Choosing a Good Location
• Place Conductor in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up.
You’ll need a tabletop with at least 30” (76cm) of depth for adequate clearance.
• Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject
to direct sun-light, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
C. Unpacking and Inspection
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following items:
•
Conductor Printer Autoloader, including Power Supply and Input/Output Bins
•
Signature, Signature II or Signature III CD Color Printer or Inscripta CD Thermal Printer
•
Printer Power Supply
•
Parallel Printer Cable (must be IEEE 1284 compliant)
•
Optional Printer Stand with Printer Control Cable (6-pin mini-DIN)
You’ll also want to save the box and packing materials. It makes transporting or shipping your
Conductor much easier if this is ever needed some time in the future.
D. Identifying the Parts
Illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 are two Conductors: the first with a Signature III CD Color Printer
attached and the other with an Inscripta Thermal CD Printer attached. Look over all items identified
to make sure that you are familiar with each. Figure 3 shows the rear panel of Conductor.
