Using the USB Duplicator
Synchronous and Asynchronous
The 1:11 USB Copy Cruiser SA supports two copying methods:
• Synchronous
• Asynchronous
Synchronous Copying
Synchronous Copying means that all ash drives begin copying together.
Synchronous Copying is used when the source data is larger than the system
buffer (256MB).
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 rst select “Information”,
then select “USB Info”.
Plug in one source and up to 11 target USB ash drives. The display will read
out the number of USB ash drives that are ready for copying and the content
size. When you have nished loading the target drives use the arrow keys to
select “Copy” and then select OK.
Asynchronous Copying
Asynchronous Copying is used when the data les are the same as or less than
the systems buffer memory (256MB). If the source data content is less than
the systems buffer memory you can copy ash drives continuously by taking
out the drive which has nished copying, and replacing it with another blank.
Asynchronous Copying will start immediately after loading the rst target
drive.
When this process is used the source data is read into systems buffer rst. You
can check the size of the data source USB ash drive by inserting it into the
USB Duplicator and using the arrow keys to rst select “Information”, then
select “USB Info”.
