    Using the USB Duplicator
    Synchronous and Asynchronous
    The 1:27 USB Copy Tower SA supports two copying methods: 
    • Synchronous
    • Asynchronous
    Synchronous Copying
    Synchronous Copying means that all flash drives begin copying together. 
    Synchronous Copying is used when the source data is larger than the system 
    buffer (120MB). 
    You can check the size of the data source drive by inserting the source drive 
    into the USB Duplicator and using the arrow keys to first select “Information”, 
    then select “USB Info”.
    Plug in one source and up to 27 target USB flash drives. The display will read 
    out the number of USB flash drives that are ready for copying and the content 
    size. When you have finished loading the target drives use the arrow keys to 
    select “Copy” and then select OK. 
    Asynchronous Copying
    Asynchronous Copying is used when the data files are the same as or less than 
    the systems buffer memory (120MB). If the source data content is less than 
    the systems buffer memory you can copy flash drives continuously by taking 
    out the drive which has finished copying, and replacing it with another blank. 
    Asynchronous Copying will start immediately after loading the first target 
    drive. 
    When this process is used the source data is read into systems buffer first. You 
    can check the size of the data source USB flash drive by inserting it into the 
    USB Duplicator and using the arrow keys to first select “Information”, then 
    select “USB Info”.

    Using the USB Duplicator
    Main Menu
    Functions are selected with the arrow keys. The numbers correspond to the 
    Function listing in the previous section.
    1. Copy 
    This function makes USB flash copies. The duplicator auto detects and 
    supports Synchronous, and Asynchronous methods of Copy.
    Synchronous	Copying
    In Synchronous Copying all USB flash drives are copied simultaneously. 
    Synchronous Copying is used when the source data is larger than the system 
    buffer (120MB).  
    1. Load the source flash drive into the USB Duplicator. Use the UP or 
    DOWN arrow to scroll through the menu until Copy is displayed on 
    the LCD screen. 
    2. Press the OK button on the display panel. The LCD will display the 
    following status:
    Note: The number beside “USB” is the capacity of the USB flash 
    drive in megabytes. The number to the right is the size occupied by 
    files or images. 
    3. Load the blank target flash drives into the USB Duplicator. The LCD 
    will display the number of blank media loaded and ready for copying.

    4. Finish loading the blank target flash drives, then press the OK button on the 
    display panel.
    5. The LCD will display the status of the copying process.
    6. When Copy is complete LCD will display the following status:
    If the Copy fails, the LCD will display the number of flash drives that failed 
    and passed.
    Note: When copying is in process the Green LED on the front panel is blinking. Do 
    not take out the drive while it is copying. When copying is finished the Green LED 
    stays on (no blinking). If an error occurs during the copy process a Red LED will 
    display. 
    When Target and Sources’s capacity have a significant difference (e.g. 1GB Source 
    being copied to a 4GB Target), it may cause an error to the Target’s capacity and 
    format. To avoid this error, it is strongly recommended that the Target and Source 
    be close in their respective capacities. 
    Asynchronous	Copying
    Asynchronous Copy is used only when the source content is the same as or less 
    than the system buffer (120MB). With the source content read into the systems 
    buffer you can copy flash drives continuously by taking out the drive which has 
    finished copying, and replacing it with another blank. This process is repeated 
    until the copying job is complete.
    1. Load the source flash drive into the USB Duplicator. Use the UP or DOWN 
    arrow to scroll through the menu until Copy is displayed on the LCD screen.

    4. As finished drives are removed, and new blanks inserted, the display 
    will show the number of copies completed and the number of USB 
    flash drives still in the copying process. If the Copy fails, the LCD will 
    display the number of flash drives that failed and passed.
    Note: During Asynchronous Copying you can use the UP and DOWN 
    arrow keys to check each flash drives copying status.
