Primera ComposerPlus 100 Disc User manual

It’s an accepted fact that producing your own CD-Rs or DVD-Rs in-house saves time, money and gives you lots of flexibility. However, robotic-
based production systems capable of recording and printing quantities of discs have traditionally been complicated and expensive.
Primera Technology’s new Composer Optical Disc Duplicator changes all of that. Whether you produce 50 discs a week or thousands,
Composer does the job for far less money than comparable disc duplication systems. You’ll be able to easily and inexpensively create your
own unique, on-demand CD-Rs or DVD-Rs in just a few minutes each!
Optional color or monochrome printing takes less than a minute per disc using either ink-jet or thermal printers. Finished discs look as
professional as those produced by outside service bureaus.
Composer is the perfect solution for professional, in-house production of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. It’s the price/performance leader in optical
disc duplication!

Features,P
And A Price That’ll B
Producing your own CD-Rs has never been faster and easier than with the Composer Optical
Disc Duplicator. It lets you duplicate either 50 discs (Composer) or 100 discs (ComposerPlus)
per job in your own office or production facility.Both models incorporate a 48x CD-R drive
for the fastest possible production speeds as well as an advanced IEEE 1394 (“Firewire™”)
interface.
Composer’s advanced robotics and software work automatically, so no operator
intervention is required after a job is started. Highly intuitive authoring and
duplication software from Prassi can be learned in an hour or less. Depending
upon your needs, you can also print directly onto your discs with any of
Primera’s popular ink-jet or thermal disc printers.
Whether you need to duplicate music, video, software or data, Composer
makes the process simple — at a price virtually any company can afford!

e Music To Your Ears
Easy To Operate,
Proven Reliability
An efficient and user-friendly design streamlines all
operations. The uncomplicated control panel has just
three buttons.
Since most duplication
jobs are unattended,
reliability has carefully
been designed into
Composer. Its “pick-and-
place” mechanism greatly
improves upon the
reliability of other
designs, assuring you nonstop, high-volume production.
During factory life testing, Composer has picked over 500,000
discs without a single mis-pick. In a typical application, that
would be over 14 years of operation! In addition, Composer
has a high-impact plastic front and all-metal case. Its rugged
construction and styling make it equally at home in office or
production environments.
Two different disc capacities are available: Composer (50 disc
input and output) and ComposerPlus (100 disc input and
output).
Two Printing Options
Composer comes ready for the integration of a Primera
Technology CD printer. You can print text, graphics, logos and
even full-color photos
directly onto the top
surface of discs.
Both ink-jet and thermal
printers are available, so
you can choose which one
works best for you. Select
the Signature IV® CD
Color Printer for 1200 x 1200 dpi, full-color printing onto
printable-surface discs. Or, choose the SignaturePro® CD
Color Printer for fast, high-resolution color printing at 2400
dpi – the best in the world! The Inscripta™ Thermal CD
Printer is also available for durable, scratch- and smudge-
resistant, completely waterproof printing onto standard
discs.
Professional Software Included
Composer comes with either PrimoCD Pro™ or
PrimoDVD™ mastering and duplication software from
Prassi™, a well-known and highly respected CD-R software
company.
Need To Record
and Print DVD-Rs?
No problem! Pioneer® Corporation’s latest DVD/CD-R drive
is also optionally available. It records both DVD-R General
Purpose (GP) discs as
well as regular CD-Rs at
8x. So,you’ll be able to
record either format in
your Composer without
the need for expensive
upgrades.
Uncompromised Value
Primera Technology’s high-volume approach to design and
manufacturing assures you of the highest quality at the lowest
possible cost. Compared to other similar duplication systems,
Composer is simply the best value available today!
