Compact Flash Duplicator

Introduction

Make fast copies of flash cards using the Copywriter Flash Duplicator series. This series is

available in 7, 11, or 15 copy configurations, with a model for USB duplication and a model for

SD/MicroSD duplication.

The Copywriter Flash Duplicator offers both Synchronous and Asynchronous duplication. In

Synchronous mode, all drives are inserted and copied to at the same time. When duplicating in

Asynchronous mode, duplication starts on each drive as the drive is recognized, allowing you to

remove and replace individual drives as the duplication process is completed to continue

duplicating without additional user action.

What’s Included

When unpacking your Copywriter Flash Duplicator system, the following items should be

included:

•Copywriter Flash Duplicator

•Users Manual (this document) and Starter Kit

•Power Cord

If any of these items are missing, please contact your distributor or Microboards Technology

Technical Support.

•The system is now ready to use.

Loading and Unloading Flash Cards

You should never unload any card that is in use by the duplicator. If the green LED above the

port is flashing, the card is in use.

USB Flash (USB models only)

To load USB flash cards, slide the card into the port. If it does not slide in easily, flip the USB

card over and try again.

To unload USB flash cards, simply pull them out of the port.

SD Flash (SD models only)

To load SD flash cards, slide the card into the upper, wide port with the circuit side down until the

card clicks into place. If the green LED above the card port fails to light after a moment, unload

the card, flip it over, over and try again.

To unload SD flash cards, push in and release each card. The ports will slightly eject the cards.

MicroSD Flash (SD models only)

To load MicroSD flash cards, slide the card into the lower, narrow port with the circuit side up. If

the green LED above the card port fails to light after a moment, flip the card over and try again.

Hardware Description

The Copywriter Flash Duplicator consists of a reader port; 7, 11, or 15 flash drive ports; and

Controller module.

The master card will always be inserted into the TOP LEFT port.

The blank cards will always be inserted into the remaining ports.

The green LEDs above each port will flash when in use or will stay solid green after a successful

duplication. The red LED above each port will light when an error on that card occurs.

The LCD display will show the different menu selections and also information pertaining to the

recording process. Here is a typical example of what is displayed during the COPY process:

Main Menu

There are 10 different Main Menu items for the Copywriter Flash Duplicator: Copy, Async Copy,

Compare, Copy & Compare, Erase, Copy Mode, Setup, Utilities, Manage Accounts, and

Shutdown. For the Setup options, please refer to page 10.

These instructions refer to using 11 USB recorder ports (available only in the USB 11 Flash

Duplicator), but the instructions will not differ when using any of the Copywriter Flash Duplicators,

either USB or SD. Any Copywriter Flash Duplicator model will operate using any number of the

available recorder ports.

Copy

Place your master card into the reader port, always the upper left port, and your blank cards into

the recorder ports.

Press the ENT button on the controller interface. If all recorder ports are filled, duplication will

begin. If not, the display will show how many target cards are in place; press ENT again to begin

duplication to the loaded target cards. If all target ports are not being used, duplication will also

begin automatically in 30 seconds if you do nothing.

The data will be copied from the master flash drive to the blank flash drives.

When the job is completed, the green LED above the recorder ports will show a steady green and

the cards can be removed.

When each duplication cycle completes, the status of the

duplication will be displayed. OK indicates the number of

successful duplications during the cycle just completed, NG

shows the number of failed duplications, and Job shows how

many flash drives have been duplicated since the duplicator was last at the Copy menu.

Replace all cards and press the ENT button to restart duplication. If you need to make copies of

a new master drive, replace the flash drive in the reader slot. You do not need to exit out of Copy

mode to change masters. Changing masters will reset the Job total.

Async Copy

Async Copy mode allows you to have the duplication process begin on each flash drive as it is

inserted into the duplicator, rather than waiting for all drives to be inserted.

Press the ENT button on the controller interface. The inserted

master will first be recognized, then the duplicator will start

searching for inserted flash drives. As it finds drives, the

displayed Working number will increase and drives will begin

to be copied to as they are found. Continue inserting flash drives until you have as many as

needed, or until you have reached the capacity of your duplicator.

The display will show the completed percentage of the flash

drive that is farthest along in the duplication process, until that

drive reaches 100% complete, at which point the green and

red LEDs above that drive will both come on. Remove the

drive, and insert another drive to begin copying to the new

drive.

When the last drive you need is complete, press the ESC button and remove the master drive.

Compare

The Compare function is used to compare the master card with the copied cards.

Place your master card into the reader port and your copied cards into the recorder ports.

Press the ENT button on the controller interface. The

duplicator will now compare the master and copied cards.

When completed, the display will read:

Compact Flash Duplicator

Copy & Compare

The Copy and Compare function will perform both operations, one after the other. If the Copy

portion passes without errors, the system will automatically start the Compare process.

Place your master card into the reader port and your blank cards into the recorder ports. Press

the ENT button on the controller interface.

The duplicator will first copy the master card to the blank cards. When the Copy completes, the

unit will start the Compare process. The display will switch from showing Copying… to

Comparing… during the comparison.

When the job is completed, the totals will be provided.

Erase

The Erase function has 4 erasure method options:

•Quick Erase will erase only the beginning section of the Flash Storage Device, which will

hide the data and allow the data to be overwritten. Then it will format the Flash Storage

Device using FAT32 File System.

•Full Erase will erase the entire Flash Storage Device by writing 0’s throughout. Then it

will format the Flash Storage Device using FAT32 File System. The erase timeframe

varies depending on the data capacity of the Flash Storage Device.

•RAW Erase is identical to Full Erase, except that it does NOT format the Flash Storage

Device.

•Secure Erase will erase the Flash Storage Device thoroughly to make the chances of

data recovery almost impossible. This method involves several rounds of complete data

overwriting in various patterns with full erasure each time, and will take the longest of the

4 methods to complete.

Copy Mode

This setting will allow you to choose which Copy Mode to use. There are 2 available options:

•Smart Copy: This is the recommended and fastest approach to making copies since it

will scan your Flash Storage Device and copy only the area which contains data.

When in Smart Copy mode, the Size Tolerance setting will check that the size of the data

on the source drive will fit onto the target drives.

•RAW Copy: This is the safest but slowest approach to making copies since it will copy

your entire Flash Storage Device bit by bit.

When in RAW Copy mode, the Size Tolerance setting will check that the size of the

target drive and source drives match or fall within the size variance specified.

Selecting the Copy Mode for your Master Formats

Some formats, such as NTFS, are not supported by the Smart Copy mode. In any case in

which the formatting of the source drive is not supported in Smart Copy mode, RAW Copy

mode will automatically be used. You will not need to change the Copy Mode setting to

duplicate a format not supported in Smart Copy mode.

Because of this, having the Copy Mode set to Smart Copy will always provide you with the

fastest duplication possible for your master flash drive.

Setup

The Setup menu gives you access

to some of the default settings used

by the Copywriter Flash Duplicator.

Language

This setting specifies the language on the display.

The default language is English.

Read Error Skip

This setting will allow you to change the number of

times you want the system to skip ahead when the

system encounters a reading error while reading

your original Flash Storage Device. By default, the

system does not skip any reading error. Under this

setting, if the system encounters any errors, it would

result in an immediate job failure.

This function will not fix any discovered error. It will

merely skip the error and copy the remaining data.

The setting will allow the number of errors specified

before generating an error.

Write Error Skip

This setting will allow you to change the number of times the system will skip when the system

encounters a writing error during the copying process. By default, the system does not skip any

writing errors. Any writing errors would result in an immediate failure on this Flash Storage

Device.

This function will not fix any errors that it may find. It will only skip errors to write the remaining

data. The setting will allow the number of errors specified before generating an error.

Size Tolerance

This setting allows you to determine how closely the capacity of the target cards match the

capacity of the source card. The Size Tolerance behavior will change depending on the Copy

Mode setting (see page 9). If Copy Mode is set to Smart Copy, the size of the data on the

source will be checked against the target drive capacity. If Copy Mode is set to RAW Copy, the

target drives must be as large as or larger than the source regardless of the data size being

copied.

Options are: OFF (target cards must be the same capacity or larger than the source card), 1%

difference in capacity size between the master and the blanks, 5% difference, or IGNORE.

Because errors can occur if the Size Tolerance is set to IGNORE, we do not recommend the

IGNORE setting, but is available if you absolutely need it.

This setting is intended for flexibility if the source card is a low-capacity card. Note that even if

the target drives are larger than the source drive, this setting can generate a false error state.

Any attempt to duplicate more data than the target card’s capacity will fail.

Buzzer

This setting allows you to turn ON or OFF the beep produced when the buttons are pressed or

an audible status cue is provided. The default setting is ON.

Screen Saver

This setting turns the screensaver ON or OFF. Default setting is ON.
