IV. Function Introduction
1. COPY
There are two kinds of copy modes, which are Asynchronous Copy and Synchronous
Copy. The system will check the content size of the source before executing "copy"
function. If the source content size is less than system's buffer memory, it will
automatically start asynchronous copying. If the source content size is larger than the
system's buffer memory, it will copy with synchronous mode.
1.1 Synchronous Copy
a) How to set "Synchronous Copy"?
1 Go to function "7.6 Asynchronous" to select "Disable".
2 If the source's content size is larger than system's buffer memory, it will execute
Synchronous Copy no matter which copy mode you set at function 7.6.
b) Operating Process
1 Plug in the source and target flash media . Select copy function and then press .
Capacity of source
The number of target flash plugged in and ready to copy
2 When all flash cards are plugged in, press to start copy. Or when all slots are
plugged, the system will automatically start copy.

3When finishing copying, the LCD will show the total time of copy, quantity of pass
and quantity of copy fail.
Note
❶When copy is processing, the green LED will flash. When the copy has finished,
the green LED will stop flashing but will remain illuminated. If an error occurs, the
red LED will illuminate.
❷During copying each card slot’s green LED will flash, DON’T take out the card
while copying.
❸It is strongly recommended that the target and source have to be in close range
of capacity. When there is a big difference between the capacities of source and
target, such as copying 1GB source to a 4GB target or 2GB source to a 1GB
target. It may cause error or copy fail.
❹If copy NTFS or Linux format, targets' capacity must be equal or larger than the
source capacity.
❺Some users may like to use a USB converter to copy other different types of flash
cards, such as CF, SD, or Memory stick etc. Since the quality and stability of each
USB converter in the market are very different, a USB converter with poor quality
may cause the damage to the machine and also the copy quality from the Flash
card.
1.2 Asynchronous Copy
a) How to set "Asynchronous Copy"?
1 The source's content size must be smaller than the system's buffer memory.
(Necessary condition to execute asynchronous copy.)
2 Go to function "7.6 Asynchronous" to select "Enable". (The default setting is
"Enable".)
b) Operating Process
1Plug in the source flash and press . The system will start to read the source
content into system's buffer. After finishing that, it will then immediately start to
copy once a target flash card has been plugged in.

set. If you set "Data only", CheckSum will calculate data area only; if you set "Whole
media", the CheckSum number will be calculated based on the whole flash devise
size. Be aware that even two flash devices have the same data, if the capacity has any
difference, their CheckSum value will be different.
Note
The function is not for comparing purpose. If you want to check the correctness of copying
result, please use the Compare function which can provide you the safest and fastest by
hardware bit-for-bit comparison.
7. System Setup Function
7.1 Start-up Menu
You can select which function is shown first when the duplicator is 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
flash card's file format. If the data's file format is FAT16/32, NTFS, Linux (ext2, ext3,
ext4) which is recognizable by the system, it will be able to copy data only instead of
the whole flash. Otherwise, if the file format is non-recognizable, the system will copy
the whole flash card including the empty space. For example, a 2GB flash card which
is FAT32 file format and has only 50 MB data inside, the system will only copy that
specific 50 MB of data, it takes only a few seconds to copy the source.

IV. Function Introduction
18
7.2.2. Whole Media
Setup the duplicator in Whole Media function, the system will copy the whole flash
card, including the empty space and format. This function is used when you have a
flash source which has an unknown file format. For example, a 2GB flash card which is
FAT32 file format and has only 50 MB of data inside, if you setup "Whole Media", the
system will copy whole 2GB of Flash. It will take longer time to copy the source.
7.3 Button Beep
Choose whether to hear a beep or not when a button is pressed.
7.4 Asyn Hold time
This is to set the time to exit asynchronous copying when you've temporarily finished
copying and you've pulled out all the devices, but you haven't exited the copying job.
This is to prevent you from mistakenly overwriting a source device when you'd like to
start a new source copy but you forgot to stop the previous asynchronous copying
job. The default setting is 30 seconds. When the system detects that all the flash cards
have been pulled and no new cards have been plugged in after 30 seconds the LCD
will display:
Press to exit this Asynchronous or press to keep this status.
7.5 Target Tolerance
To set the tolerance % of capacity gap between the source and target. There are three
models of settings as below, and the default setting is "No limit".
●Allow Tolerance: Under this model, users can set the up and low tolerance % of
capacity gap separately between the source and target. And the duplicator will
views the setting as capacity limit of target flash media, and filters out the target
with incorrect capacity.
●For example : If the flash media is marked as 1G with real capacity of 1000MB
inside, when user allows the up and low tolerance to be 1 %, then the workable
capacity of target flash media will be :
99% *1000MB~101% *1000MB ➡ 990MB~1010MB
●No limit: there is no any limit on capacity between the source and target. Please
be noted that, under this model, if the data size in the source is over the capacity
of target, it might lead to incomplete copy.
●100% Same: The capacity of targets has to be exactly the same as the source, or
it will not able to execute any function.

IV. Function Introduction
19
7.6 Asynchronous
You can select "Disable" to close Asynchronous copy or "Enable" to open the function.
If the setup is "Enable", and the data in source is smaller than system buffer memory,
it will automatically use asynchronous mode to do copy. If the setting is "Disable", no
matter what the content size is or copy method, the system will keep synchronous
copy.
7.7 Check Before Copy
You can select if you would like to check the media before copy.
7.8 Power Off Time Between Copy+Compare
To prevent from any data loss problem of unstable flash, we strongly recommend you
to follow function 7.8 to set the time gap of power supply between copy and compare.
The setting range is from 0 to 15 seconds, and the default setting is 3 seconds.
7.9 Language
Set system language interface i.e. English.
7.10 Working Mode
The working mode has 5 options to select the transmission speed :
●Slowest Mode
●Slower Mode
●Normal Mode (Default setting)
●Faster Mode
●Fastest Mode
Please make sure your Flash media has good quality and support faster mode. If you
are not confident on the flash quality or you find a high failure rate on copy or compare.
It is recommended to slow down the working mode. The factory default setting is
"Normal Mode".

IV. Function Introduction
20
7.11 Set HDD Mode
This is the setting when users want to copy USB-HDDs. To copy a USB-HDD, users
could select "Active Mode" first and then start executing other operation. Or, if users
just want to copy USB devices but not USB-HDD, just select "Inactive mode".
Note
The reason to make this setting before copying USB-HDD is not only because USB-HDD
requires more power but also because it has different file format with USB flash stick.
7.12 Restore Default
Return back to original factory default settings.
