							10-8. Fast Copy
When  this  setting  is  ON,  the  duplicator  will  attempt  to  copy  the  source  drives  contents
instead of the entire disk. Also controls Compare function. Default setting is OFF.
NOTE: Target drive size is still required to be equal to or greater than source. Only works
with  source  drives  formatted  using  Master  Boot  Record.  If  the  source  drive  has  a  boot
record  other  than  MBR,  the  entire  disk  will  be  copied  as  if  Fast  Copy  were  OFF.  If  the
source  drive  is  formatted  with  a  Master  Boot  Record  and  contains  only  FAT32  or  NTFS
partitions,  identical  partitions  will  be  created  on  the  target(s)  and  only  the  files  will  be
copied. If the source drive with MBR format includes partitions other than FAT32 or NTFS,
all sectors of all partitions (including FAT32 and NTFS) will be duplicated.
Enabling Fast Copy may not produce bootable duplicates.
10-9. Auto Start Drive
When  source  drive  is  present,  inserting  a  target  drive  will  cause  copy  process  to  begin
automatically. Default setting is OFF.
10-10. Auto Start Timer
Sets  delay  in  time  after  target  insertion  before  beginning  auto  copy  process  if  Auto  Start
Drive is ON. Default setting is OFF (no delay).
10-11. Tolerance Size
Sets the minimum target size in percentage compared to the source that is allowed to use
for copying. Default is 100% (equal in size).
NOTE:  Leaving  this  setting  at  100%  or  using  for  minor  adjustments  only  is  strongly
recommended.  Permitting  target  size  less  than  source  size  may  result  in  inaccurate
copies.
10-12. BootTime Delay
This option is used to set boot delay time. Default setting is 5 seconds.
10-13. Quick Compare
Sets  Compare  function  to  stop  after  a  small  amount  of  data  has  been  verified,  up  to
100MBytes. Default setting is OFF.
10-14. Copy with Size
Causes  duplicate  drive  to  report  to  an  operating  system  the  exact  same  total  size  as
source  when  copy  is  complete.  Works  only  on  drives  formatted  using  a  Master  Boot
Record. Default setting is OFF.5www.addonics.com

the operation a few moments after it begins.
9. Overwrite
Overwrite is used to write data onto the entire hard disk, it will destroy all data on all HDDs
