1. Copy
There are two types of copy modes, Asynchronous Copy and Synchronous Copy. The
system will check the content size of the source before executing the ‘copy’ function.
If the source content size is less than the system’s buer memory, it will automatically
start an Asynchronous copy. If the source content size is larger than the system’s buer
memory, it will copy in Synchronous mode.
1.1 Synchronous Copy
To congure, go to function “7.6 Asynchronous”and select “Disable”. If the source’s
content size is larger than system’s buer memory, it will execute Synchronous Copy
and ignore which copy mode has been set at function 7.6.
Operating Process
1. Plug in the source and destination Flash drive(s). Select the copy function and
press OK.
2. The copy will start automatically if two destination Flash drives are connected.
Otherwise, press OK to start the copy.
3. When the copy has completed, the LCD display will show the total time it took to
copy, the number of passes, and if there were any failures.

NOTE:
a. When the copy is in progress, the green LED will ash for each Flash drive that is
connected. When the copy has nished, the green LED will stop ashing and remain
illuminated. If an error occurs, the red LED will illuminate.
b. Do NOT remove the Flash drives while the system is copying (green LED is ashing).
You can cancel a duplication by pressing ESC.
c. It is recommended that the source and destination are the same size. Copying to or
from a larger Flash drive may cause an error and the copy will fail.
d. If copying a Flash drive with NTFS or Linux le formats, the destination capacity
MUST BE equal or larger than the source’s capacity.
1.2 Asynchronous Copy
NOTE: This mode is enabled by default. The source’s content size must be smaller
than the system’s buer memory, otherwise the system will automatically duplicate in
Synchronous mode.
To enable Asynchronous mode, go to function “7.6 Asynchronous”, and select “Enable”.
Operating Process
1. Plug in the source Flash drive, and press OK. The system will start to read the
source’s content into the system’s buer. Once completed, it will immediately start
to copy once a destination Flash drive has been plugged in.
2. Once the copy has completed, the green LED will stop blinking. The destination
Flash drive can be removed and a new Flash drive inserted, then the copy will
automatically start again. The LCD display will show the accumulated quantity of the
successful/failed duplications and the drive that is still copying.

NOTE:
a. When the copy is in progress, the green LED will ash for each Flash drive that is
connected. When the copy has nished, the green LED will stop ashing and remain
illuminated. If an error occurs, the red LED will illuminate.
b. Do NOT remove the Flash drive while the system is copying (green LED is ashing).
c. Once the copy process has completed (green LED is solid), you can then take out
that Flash drive and insert a new one.
d. During an Asynchronous copy, you can press the up and down arrows to check
each Flash drive’s copy status and progress. This works both during a copy (green
LED ashing) and when there is an error (red LED solid).
2. Compare
Check the Flash drive after a copy has completed to ensure the copy has
completed successfully.
3. Copy + Compare
Automatically compares the Flash drive once the copy has completed.
4. Capacity Check
Check the exact capacity of the connected Flash drive in the destination slots.
1. Plug the Flash drive into the slot and press OK on Capacity Check. The system will
quickly report the exact capacity of the connected Flash drive by reporting either a
green or red LED. Use the up and down arrows to move between slots.
2. This function supports Asynchronous operation. You can continuously remove and
connect multiple Flash drive types without pushing any buttons.

completed, turn o the system for 5 seconds and then turn back on. The rmware
update is now complete.
6.8 Calc. Checksum
Calculate the Checksum number of the Flash drive that’s plugged into the source port.
The Checksum area that is calculated will be based on the copy area that’s been set.
7. Setup
7.1 Start-up Menu
Select which function is displayed when the system is rst turned on.
7.2 Copy Area
7.2.1 System and Files
This is also called ‘quick copy’ mode. The system will automatically analyze the source
drive’s le format. If the le format is recognized (FAT16/32, NTFS, Linux (ext2, ext3,
ext4)), only the data will be copied. Otherwise, if the le format is not recognized, the
system will copy the entire storage capacity of the Flash drive, including empty space.
‘System and Files’ is enabled by default.
7.2.2 Whole Media
Set the system to copy the entire Flash drive’s content, including empty space and
le format.

Instruction Manual
12
7.3 Button Beep
Turn audio feedback ON/OFF. ON by default.
7.4 Asyn Hold time
Set the time to cancel an Asynchronous copy when you’ve temporarily nished
copying and all of the Flash drive devices have been removed, but the copy job has not
been manually cancelled. This is to prevent mistakenly overwriting your source drive
when you’d like to start a new source copy but the previous Asynchronous copy job
has not yet been cancelled.
The default is 30 seconds. When the system no longer detects any Flash drive for 30
seconds, the system will prompt you to either exit or keep the current copy job.
7.5 Target Tolerance
Set the tolerance of the capacity gap between the source and destination ports in %.
There are three modes, with the default being ‘no limit’, as follows:
a. Allow Tolerance: Users can set the high and low limit (%) of capacity dierence
between the source and destination drive separately.
b. No Limit: Users can disable the capacity limit between the source and destination
drive. If the data on the source drive is larger than the capacity of the destination
drive, this will lead to an incomplete/failed duplication.
c. 100% same: Users can set the capacity of the destination drives to be the exact
same as the source drive. If the sizes do not match, the duplication will not start.
7.6 Asynchronous Mode
Choose to disable or enable Asynchronous copy mode. If enabled and the data
on the source is smaller than the system’s buer memory, it will automatically use
asynchronous when copying. If disabled, the system will copy in synchronous mode.
This mode is enabled by default.
7.7 Check before Copy
Choose to enable or disable the system checking the Flash drive before starting a copy.
By default, the drive is not checked before copying.
7.8 Power o time between Copy + Compare
When performing the Copy + Compare function, set the wait time (in seconds) after a
Copy has completed, and before the Compare starts. The default is 3 seconds.
7.9 Language
