You can select “No Counter” if you prefer to copy continuously with no 
interruption. (It will still count the number of copies, but it will not notify 
you when to stop.) To select the “No Counter”, simply press ENT button 
when you see the screen above. Then skip below and continue on to step 
“d”.
Or, you can select “Specify Counter” to specify the number of copies (1 to 
9999) by pressing the UP or DOWN navigation button to the below screen:
Then please press ENT button to submit. You will see the screen below:
To specify the number of copies for your project, you need to enter/input 
a 4-digit number. If you are planning to specify a number that is less than 
4 digits, please fill the leading spaces with “0”s (any leading “0” will 
be skipped). An example of that 4-digit number could be “0234” (Two 
hundred and thirty four), or “0010” (ten). Remember, the beginning “0”s 
are skipped, therefore “0010” means “10”, which is the number 10.
To enter the number, you need to use UP or DOWN button to select the 
number for each digit and use ENT or ESC button to move the cursor 
position right or left, once you’ve finished, move the cursor to OK and 
press ENT. For example, if I want to specify a counter value of 21 (twenty 
one). The 4-digit value would be “0021”. To input the desired quantity, 
please do the following:
Make sure the cursor is located at the first position:
i. Press DOWN button consecutively until “0” is displayed.
ii. Press ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.
iii. Press DOWN button consecutively until “0” is displayed.
iv. Press ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.
v. Press DOWN button consecutively until “2” is displayed.
vi. Press ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.

partition and Blank Discs as well. After your Hard Drive partition and 
Blank Discs have been recognized, then you will see the following screen:
Note: By default, the “Auto Start” setting is set to “Auto”. For 
example, if your duplicator has detected 3 blank discs and 
didn’t detect any additional blank discs for 30 seconds, then the 
duplication will be started automatically.

the number of discs detected on the screen. Then press ENT (if 
you are not using Auto Start or wish to speed up the process) to 
confirm and the following Processing screen will appear.

Note: If the number of blank discs you inserted doesn’t match 
the number of discs detected on the screen, please give 10-15 
seconds for the duplicator to recognize all of your blank discs.
e. After 2 or 3 seconds of processing time, the following Copy Progress 
Screen will appear.
Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 
at 100% for approximately 30 seconds during CD duplication. 
Additionally it is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% 
and at 100% for up to 1 minute during DVD duplication. There 
is a delay caused by the initializing and finalizing stage of disc 
duplication. Due to this delay, it is normal to see progress indicators 
stay at 100% for up to several minutes before moving on. Once the 
disc duplication is completed, successful copies will be ejected and 
you will see the following display:
“PASS 3” indicates that you’ve just made 3 successful copies.
“FAIL 0” indicates that you have no failure in this run.
“3” indicates that you’ve successfully copied 3 copies so far.
