7. Setup
7.1 Start-up Menu
Sets which function is displayed powered on. The default
setting is "1. Copy".
7.2 Copy Area
Copy Area: System and Files
Also known as "Quick Copy”. The source’s format is automatically analyzed and if it’s
recognizable, such as, FAT 16/32/exFAT, NTFS, or Linux ext. 2/3/4, the system will copy the
data only, rather than the entire flash.
Note
If the file format is not recognized, the whole flash card, including empty
space, will be copied even if you specify copy area in “System and Files”.
➋Copy Area: Whole Media
The system will copy the whole flash card, including empty space and format. This function
is useful when users want to copy the whole flash or have a flash source with an unknown
format. "Whole media" copies take a bit longer to complete.
Caution
User is responsible for verification of targets’ quality. Testing a few
completed targets in a mass production environment for quality control is
recommended.

7.4 Target Tolerance
This function sets the capacities tolerance range between the source and target flash. If the
capacity is outside the tolerance range, the copy will fail.
For example, if the target tolerance is set to "±1%", targets whose capacities are 2.02GB or
more and 1.98GB or less will not be copied.
7.5 Asynchronous
Users can activate Asynchronous copy by selecting “Enable” or deactivating it by selecting
“Disable” For Asynchronous copy to run, the source’s data must be smaller than the
system’s buffer memory and set to “Enable”. However, if set to “Disable”, regardless of
content size, synchronous copy will be performed.

quality or notice a high copy/compare failure rate, use a slower transmission speed. The
default setting is “Normal Mode”.
7.11 Purge Before Copy
This setting clears out the target devices’ content and format
before copying.
Note
This function will erase the flash media’s data and format.

7.12 Monitor Device After Copy
Allows user to set a device status check after duplication. The settings could show different
results because each device has various settings.
For example, if a device is set to power off automatically after “complete” command, then
user must set “Do NOT Check” to make sure the LCD keeps the copy result for reference.
In this case, if set at “Do Check”, the copied device will power off automatically after Copy
job completes and the LCD will back to the previous job.
