Chapter 1: Introduction & Manual Overview
This system is a reliable, high performance, high speed, standalone manual duplication system.
With its professional industrial design and simple user interface, it will make the duplicating
experience easier than ever.
Before getting started:
Before starting to use this system, please read the following to ensure proper operation:
1. Temperature Warning:
If the system was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below 32⁰F (0⁰C)
within the past 24 hours, please leave the system in a warm room with a temperature of at
least 65⁰F (19⁰C), for 4 hours prior to powering on the unit for the first time. Failure to do so
may cause irreparable harm and prevent the system from functioning properly.
2. Maintenance:
It is very important to operate and keep the system in a dust free, clean environment since
dust is the number one killer of electronic devices. Failure to do so may severely damage
the system. It is strongly suggest that an Air Cleaner be placed next to the system and that
an air duster (canned air) be used consistently to clear off any dust, which may accumulate
on the surface of the system.
3. Proper Shutdown:
To avoid possible system failures, the system needs to be shutdown properly. To shutdown
the system, press the Up or Down Arrow button until the “Shutdown” menu is appears and
then press the “ENT” button. Follow the instructions on the screen to shutdown the system
properly. Turning off the system without performing this function will increase the risk of
damage to the system.

Chapter 3: Basic Operations
Making Copies of a Flash Device
This process will copy a flash device (ex. USB, SD, CF, etc), inserted into the Source Port, onto
one or more target flash devices simultaneously.
There are two ways to make copies of a flash device (ex. USB, SD, CF, etc):
Smart Copy: This is the recommended and fastest approach to making copies since it
will scan the flash device and copy only the area that contains data.
RAW Copy: This is the safest and slowest approach to making copies since it will copy
the entire flash device bit by bit.
Note: Due to capacity variances among various brands of flash devices, it is advised that
the “Size Tolerance” setting be enabled under the “Setup” menu, to avoid unnecessary
errors. By enabling this setting, some data/empty spaces may not be copied. Please use
with caution.
The tutorial guide below demonstrates how to copy a Flash Device.
Step 1.
Power on the system by
pressing the Power button
Step 2.
After it has booted up, the
screen on the left should
appear signifying the system
is ready.
Press the “F1 Smart Copy”
button to initiate the copying
process.

Step 3.
Insert the original flash
device (ex. USB, SD, CF,
etc) (the drive to be
copied) into the Source
port.
Step 4. Insert empty target flash
devices (ex. USB, SD, CF,
etc) (the drive(s) to receive
data) into the other non-
Source ports.
Note: If the flash devices
inserted contain data, all data
on those devices will be erased
permanently. Please insert with
caution.
Step 5. Once the system detects
one or more empty flash
devices, the system will
countdown 30 seconds
prior to executing the Copy
process.
Any new devices detected will reset the countdown period.
If the system detects all the available ports have been occupied
or the “ENT” button is pressed, then the system will execute the
Copy process immediately.
The system will scan the
Source flash device and
proceed with the Copy
process immediately.
(Shown on the left)
Below explains the various items on the copy progress screen:
3820M, this indicates the amount of data to be copied.
3m44s, this indicates the time left for the copy operation.
14%, this indicates the progress of the copy operation.
