Getting Started
Thank you...
...for choosing the SummitPro Standalone DVD Duplicator. These duplicators are second to none in terms of
speed and accuracy and we hope it will be a valuable addition to your organization for years to come.
Unpacking and Inspection
When unpacking your unit, inspect the carton and packaging material for damage. Damages that may have
occurred during shipping could cause alignment and operation errors. Any damages found upon receipt of your
unit should be immediately reported to Summation Technology.
Important!:Keep your packaging! In the event you need to ship the unit back to the factory for repair, the
product must be shipped in the manner in which it was received. Other containers are not satisfactory and may
void your warranty! If the container is lost or destroyed, another may be purchased from Summation Technology.
Choosing a Location
Placing your unit in an unsuitable location can cause a number of problems. Many problems can be avoided by
following these guidelines.
•The unit must be placed on a flat, level surface. A tilt to the unit’s base can cause errors in calibration
during use. The surface must also be relatively stable and resistant to bumps and jarring.
•The surface the unit is placed on must be able to hold 100+ pounds and be resistant to bowing under
such weight.
•Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Closets or cabinets are not suitable as heat
build-up can cause the unit to malfunction. Likewise, do not place the unit on or near any heat sources
such as heating vents or server racks.
The unit must not be placed in an area with direct sunlight, excessive dust,
