Optical Duplicator Auto Start

Updated on Feb 24, 2026

The Auto Start setting allows you to choose if the duplicator should start any function that is currently selected when any media is detected, all drives contain media, or turn off completely.  This feature applies to applications inside the operation menu such as COPY, COMPARE, COPY & COMPARE, TEST, TEST & COPY, and ERASE.

  • Auto - this feature automatically starts the duplication process when all writer drives detect recordable media inside, or waits for 30 seconds before starting the duplication process if there is at least one recordable disc in a writer drive and any of the remaining writer drives are empty.
  • Full - selected, this feature allows the system to copy automatically once your master disc and all of the writer trays of the system are filled with recordable media, but will not start automatically if any writer drives remain empty.
  • Off - the copy process requires you to press the “ENT”/Enter button to start the duplication.
