After you have completed these steps, the Input Spindle should be loaded
in the order shown in Figure 1
-6
:
When you star
t the copy operation, the robotic arm will pick up discs from
the Input Spindle and place them into the drives. If any of the discs in the
drives contains data, (in this case, that would be the first disc, Master A)
,
the autoloader will
copy
the
entire con
tent of this disc
(Master A)
o
nto the
internal hard drive while simultaneously copying to all of the
blank discs in
the
remaining
writer
drives.
Once the
copy
process is completed,
Master disc A
and the
successfully
copied discs will be
removed
from
the
d
rive
s
and dropped
on
to the Output
Spindle
. At the same time, the system will pick up
t
he next disc
s
from the
input bin and place t
hem
in the
corresponding writer
drive
(s)
. Then the
copying process will start over again
from the hard drive
.
If a new mast
er is detected
(in this
case,
it
would be the Master B)
, the
autoloader
will complete the previous
job, unload the
copied discs
, and fill
the drive tray
(s)
wit
h blank discs for the next job.
The robotic arm will continue to load media into the drive
(s)
as
the duplicated discs are
placed in the
Output
Spindle
. Once a drive (any drive) detects an
other Master disc, the
same process is repeated for the new Master disc.
