EliteMicro™ with Inkjet Printer

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the EliteMicro CD-R / DVD-R publisher. This system has been designed and

manufactured under strict quality guidelines to give you years of dependable and trouble free

operation.

The EliteMicro comes with all the hardware and software needed for easy installation with your

computer hardware. Please be sure to review the minimum computer requirements prior to

installation.

The EliteMicro comes standard with a CD-R writer or a DVD-R/CD-R writer that is controlled by

Padus’® award-winning DiscJuggler® recording software. The recording software offers an easy to

use duplication process with trouble-free operation. The DiscJuggler® software is firmly embedded

within the EliteMicro™ Autoloading software, providing seamless and reliable operation.

If you purchased the optional CD Printer Adapter Kit hardware, Discus© labeling software is included

to enhance your discs. The Discus© label design software is a simple and easy-to-use program that

will enable you to create professional quality CDs and DVDs.

Installation Requirements and Cautions

The EliteMicro is an investment for your company. It is very reliable and you can count on it to

produce quality CDR and DVDR disks as needed, over and over for many years.

Review and try to double check the following items if, after following the installation directions

in this manual, the system does not work correctly.

1- Burn speed is set too high. This problem is a leading and unnecessary trouble spot and

causes CDRs and DVDRs to be wasted. The EliteMicro uses an automated process and

production throughput is based on many factors. In the early stages of using this system

we recommend that you set your DATA burn speed at 60% and your AUDIO burn speed at

40% of the rated drive speed. (For example, set at 40x for 52x CD writers and set at 2x for

4x DVDR writers.) Once you understand the overall process, then you may want to adjust

these settings. In over 90% of cases, increasing the burn speed will not increase the

production and/or output of the Elite.

2- Cables are not connected. Verify that all cables are connected.

3- Improper or bad print files (output.prn). Print a label manually before you make the print

file. Be sure what you are sending the printer can be used.

4- Print file not set. The print file is not properly set in the recording software.

5- Media placed upside down (or label side down). If media is inserted upside down into a

write drive, the Elite cannot determine what has occurred and will generally lock up. Pay

close attention to the way the media is stacked when it is received from the supplier. Insert

the blanks into the input section as they are stacked from the supplier.

6- Bad media. Taiyo Yuden (TY) media and DiscMakers Ultra media, which are certified to

the speed listed on your write drive, are recommended by the drive manufactured for use

on the Elite. Optical Write Media is made with different methods, depending on the

manufacturer. Do not sacrifice your product by using cheap media. Use of consumer

media and/or media that is “specially priced” is not recommended either. This is generally

write disc product rejected when a manufacturer makes commercial write media. Poor

quality discs will cause operational and quality issues.

7- Changing settings. The Elite and the software provided are preset for optimal performance.

Do not make any changes in the setup options of the recording software unless you test

and verify that your settings changes do not affect operational performance.

8- Serial number not correctly entered into the software. If the recording software does not

have the correct serial number, it will default to demo or 1x burn speed. Enter the number

carefully.

Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements

Desktop duplication systems change rapidly and the EliteMicro was designed for use with PC

systems that are relatively new models.

The following are minimum requirements for the PC to which the EliteMicro is to be connected. These

are very important. Due to the high speed of the writer, sufficient memory and FAST hard drives are

required.

Minimum PC Requirements:

• 1.0 GHz Celeron® Processor or equivalent

• 256 MB RAM

• 7200 RPM 20 GB Hard drive (CD-R) with 50% free space

• 7200 RPM 40GB (DVD-R) with 70% free space

• Available USB 2.0 Port*

Software Requirements:

• Windows 2000 or Windows XP

* CAUTION: Use only with a USB 2.0 port. The use of USB 1.1 will dramatically reduce performance.

If Windows displays a message that a fast USB device is detected on a slow USB port, then you need

to upgrade your computer by adding a USB 2.0 port.

This brief setup guide is provided to get the EliteMicro operational out of the box. Once you get the

system operational, complete online help can be accessed from the DiscJuggler HELP Section.

Step 1

Unpacking the Hardware:

Your EliteMicro system is shipped in one main carton. If you ordered an EliteMicro with printer, you'll

also receive a box with the printer adapter kit and a box with the inkjet printer.

Main Carton w/ EliteMicro

• USB 2.0 Cable

• AC Power Cord

• Printed Manual

• Installation CD with EliteMicro Software

Printer Adapter Kit Carton

• Printer Guide Plates (2 pcs)

• Printer Control Cable

• Label Printing Software

Carefully open the boxes and remove the top protective cardboard sheet. You will then be able to

remove the contents from the top section of the carton.

Remove the top foam section from the shipping carton. This will reveal the EliteMicro in a plastic bag.

Grasp the EliteMicro on the top section and place the other hand underneath the unit. Gently lift out of

the shipping box and set onto a table.

Remove the EliteMicro out of the bag and place all shipping components back into the shipping

carton for future use.

Next, remove the printer and adapter kit from their shipping carton and place all the components on

the table.

Account for all the components.

packaging. You must call Disc Makers for a return authorization number (RMA) before returning any
