Mode Operation overview
Standard Stacker 1 is used for blank discs, and stacker 2 or 4 is used for Stacker 3 Stacker 1
duplicated (ejected) discs. When stacker 2 is specified,
making up to 50 copies (discs) can be made at a time. By
adding blank discs and removing ejected discs, up to 1,000
copies can be made per job.
Stacker 3 is not used for this mode.
Stacker 2
Stacker 4
External Stacker 1 and 2 are used for blank discs, and stacker 4 is used
output for duplicated (ejected) discs. When automatic blank disc
Stacker 3 Stacker 1
stacker selection is enabled, up to 100 copies can be made
at a time. When the automatic stacker selection is disabled,
the number of copies specified at a time is limited up to 50.
However, a job is interrupted each time stacker 4 becomes
full (the capacity is up to five discs). The specified number of
copies can be made by removing duplicated discs from Stacker 2
stacker 4 each time the stacker becomes full. Stacker 4
Stacker 3 is not used for this mode.
Batch Stacker 1 and 2 are used for blank discs, and stacker 2 and 3
are used for duplicated (ejected) discs. This enables making
up to 100 copies at a time without user intervention. (Stacker Stacker 3 Stacker 1
2 is first used for blank discs, and once all the blank discs are
gone, it used for stacking ejected discs.)
Stacker 3 must have been installed to enable this mode.
Stacker 4 cannot be used for this mode.
Caution: The output stacker is switched to stacker 2
when stacker 3 becomes full. The number of Stacker 2
discs set in the input stacker may differ from
that created in the output stacker.
