6. It is strongly recommended that the capacities of the source and target media are equal
or similar.
7. It is not recommended to use USB card reader to copy different media on the USB
duplicator, such as CF/SD/MS cards. It may cause damage to the duplicator system and
media.
8. DO NOT plug in USB or flash media until the duplicator boots up. It may cause abnormal
results if a USB or flash media with quality issue is plugged in before or during the boot
up process.
III. Synchronous /Asynchronous Mode
1. Synchronous Mode
Synchronous Mode (default) means that the duplicator will start to execute a task after the
source and target devices have been inserted and the ENT button is pressed. The task will
begin and end at the same timeforalltarget devices. Any other target device plugged in during
the process of a task will not be executed with the task. Go to section 4.2 Asynchronous
Mode to enable or disable this function.
a. Insert source media into the source channel and blank media into the target channels
properly. The LCD display will show no source disk when source media is not plugged
in yet, and show the number of target media inserted when source media plugged in.
b. The green LED will be on if the target device is plugged in properly.
c. Select the task from menu, and press ENT button to execute it.
d. During the execution process, the status of each target device can be checked by
using the ▲and ▼buttons.
e. After the task is done, LCD display will show the number of successful and failed
target(s), and execution time.
2. Asynchronous Mode
Asynchronous Mode means that the duplicator will read the data from source device into
system memory buffer and start to execute a task immediately when target device(s)
inserted. Duplicator does not have to wait for all target device(s) inserted in order to
start the execution of the task at the same time. No matter the data size of the

10
source device, duplicator can asynchronously execute a task if Asynchronous Mode is
enabled. Go to 4.2 Asynchronous Mode to enable or disable this function.
a. Insert source media into the source channel, select the task to execute from the menu,
and press ENT button. Duplicator will start to execute the task now.
b. Target devices can be plugged in during the execution process, and will start to execute the
task immediately
c. Target device can be removed when it finishes the execution process and its green
LED is solid on. New target device can be plugged into the same channel for
execution of the task again.
d. LCD display will show the percentage of execution process, the number of successful
and failed target(s). Here the percentage of execution process displayed is only for the
least processed target device.
e. During the execution process, the status of each target device can be checked by
using the ▲and ▼buttons.
f. After the task is done for all target devices, press ESC button to exit from the task. LCD
display will show the total number of successful and failed target(s), and total execution
time.
g. Don’t need to wait for all target devices to be done. Each channel executes the task
asynchronously.

1.4 Dual Source Copy + Compare
Two source devices with identical content will be used for this task. One source device is
inserted into source port while the other inserted into the 1st target port. Duplicator starts
copy process first and reads data content from the source port; duplicator then starts
compare process after copy is done, and reads data content from the 1st target port. By
comparing the copied devices against the second source, it can find out if the source device
has unexpected damage or not, and avoid the waste of time and media for further
duplication. The rest of procedure is the same as regular Copy + Compare procedure.
2. Quality Check
In case of the damage to the original source media, Quality Check function will not be
executed on the source port.
2.1 H3 Test
Testing Read function under designated area in the flash media to verify if it is normal. It will
