Optical Duplicator Test

The Test function will perform a simulation of the copy process. During this simulation process the Duplicator will test that the master source and target discs will produce error-free duplicates. All blank single-write recordable discs (e.g., DVD-R, CD-R) will be reusable after testing. Due to the physical limitation of DVD+R/RW & BD-R/RE recordable format, you cannot perform the Test function on these formats. If you do so, the LCD screen will display error message 211. For more information on this error message, see section “Warranty and Tech Support -> Error Codes".

Warning: If you are using CD-RW/DVD-RW discs as your blank media during the Test process, any content that may have been recorded onto those discs will be permanently erased.

	1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Test. Press the ENT button to enter the Test menu.
	2. You will see the Counter screen. For more information on the Counter, see section “General Operation -> Setting a Job Counter"

Once you have set the Counter, any trays that do not contain discs in them will automatically be ejected. You will see the following Preparation screens.

3. Insert discs into the drives.

After you’ve loaded the drives with discs, close the trays and allow 5 - 10 seconds for the system to detect them. If either of the preparation screens are displayed for more than 2 minutes after you have inserted your discs, please check the quality of the discs.

Once all the discs have been recognized, you will see the confirmation screen.

	Note: The “7” indicates that there are seven discs recognized by the Writers. The actual quantity may be different depending on the number of discs you have inserted.
	4. When the number of discs detected matches the number of blank discs you inserted, press the ENT button. You will see the Processing screen.

After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Test Progress screen will appear.

Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages.

5. Once the Test process has been completed, you will see the following screen.

√ PASS 7 - number of discs successfully copied. √ FAIL 0 - number of discs that failed to copy. √ ( 7 ) - number of copies made for this job so far.

Discs that passed the test will be ejected. Remove the discs, refill the trays with blank media and press the ENT button to continue testing another round of discs. Any discs that fail the test will not be ejected automatically. You will need to manually eject them and throw them away if they are single recording discs. Empty drives will also not be ejected automatically.

Note: If one of the Writer drives consistently produces failures, it may be a sign that the drive is faulty. In this case, please contact Kanguru Technical Support at 508-376-4245.

6. Terminate the current job.

                a) If you have finished making copies, press the ESC button to terminate the current duplication project and exit to the Main Menu.

                b) If you specified a Counter, once you see the following screen indicating that the specified Counter value has been reached, you can then press the ENT button to exit to the Main Menu.
