The Duplicator-Hopper:

The Primera Composer Pro unit has the possibility to stack 100 CDR's. That means it can copy 100 CDR's unattended in one process.

Two hoppers are required for this job:
  • The input hopper (here you put the blanc CDR's)
  • The output hopper (all good duplicated CDR's will be placed here)



    100 CDR's can be stacked in the hopper.




    It looks like one of those trendy "Wé¼rlitzer Juke-Box systems...


    With the hoppers in place we are actually ready to begin a duplication process without printing.
    All we have to do now in attaching the appropriate cables with the PC. We must connect the scsi cable and a serial cable with the PC.
    So it's time we have a look at the back of the Duplicator.

    At the back of the Duplicator we can see from the left to the right:





  • The 40-pins external scsi-II connector (to connect with the host PC)
  • A serial connector (to connect with the host PC)
  • A connection to connect the duplicator with the add-on printer.
  • The power-connection.

    The Duplicator control panel:

    Since the Duplicator connects to a host PC most of the commands are done through this host.
    There is however a small panel in front of the duplicator that let's you handle some emergency functions.

  • The pause button will halt the duplication process.
  • The sequence button will move the duplicator to the next sequence in the duplication process.
  • The pick button will try to pick again

    Conclusion:

    The rest of the installation was child's play...
    Placing the machinery on a reliable flat surface and putting the stack-hoppers in position. Connecting two cables with the host PC and providing power from the powersupply, and we were ready to begin duplicating.
