System Features:

 

The specifications of the Nexis 100AP Publishing System were found at the XLNT Idea website.

 

Features

• DiscWorks: The Nexis 100AP makes auto printing easy. With the included Disc Studio™ Labeling software you simply send a print job and the Nexis 100AP will automatically insert a CD/DVD/BD for printing. No additional software required. You can also use your favorite labeling program.

•   Ink: The NEXIS 100AP also uses low cost non-proprietary inkjet cartridges available at virtually any office products store. Making the cost per finished disc lower than the competition. This provides the end user with the most cost effective solution but best of all no more worrying about running out of ink.

 

•   Flexibility: The NEXIS 100AP is perfect for the duplication of amateur or commercial CD/ DVD/BD, software and music titles as well as time-critical applications such as data distribution, digital photo processing, service bureaus and kiosks.

 

•   Speed: In standardized testing, NEXIS 100AP burns up to 50 discs per hour making it faster than most other models. The secret is our independently mounted disc transport robotics. With the ability to move disc's while printing the NEXIS 100AP achieves the highest throughput with fewer drives.

 

•   100 Disc Capacity: The Nexis 100AP comes standard with 50 disc hoppers. However you can easily double you’re per session disc capacity with the available 100 Disc Capacity adapter.

 

•   Media Options: The Nexis 100AP not only prints on standard 120mm disc but can also print on a wide variety of disc media such as business card discs. Optional adapter kit required. Expand your media choices!

Set-up:

Now we will need to set up the Nexis 100AP Publishing System. First we took out the foam shipping restraints and then plugged in our power and USB cables. Next we powered on our printing system and installed the drivers and software. Once that was completed, we then installed our print cartridges and aligned them using cartridge setup.

The whole procedure is outlined in the quick start guide. This very detailed guide was easy to follow and we had our review system setup and running literally within minutes.
