Chapter 1
Introduction & Manual Overview The Xerox CD/DVD
LightScribe Duplicator is a reliable, high performance,
high speed, standalone manual tower duplicator with the
added LightScribe printing feature. With its professional
industrial design and simple beginner user interface, it will
make your disc publishing experience easier than ever.
Before you start
Before you start using this duplicator, please read the following to ensure proper opera-
tion:
1 Duplicator Limitations
The duplicator will not copy any CD or DVD discs that have Copy Protection
encoded inside. Typically, the movies you purchase or rent from the store will
contain copy protection. In addition to the copy protection limitation, the duplica-
tor cannot copy across formats. This means that you cannot copy a DVD master
onto a recordable CD or vice versa. In addition, you cannot copy the same formats
if the discs have different maximum capacity limitations. This means that you
cannot copy a single layer DVD onto a double/dual layer DVD or vice versa. The
recordable blanks must be the same format and maximum capacity as the master
disc you intend to duplicate.
2 Temperature Warning
If the duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below
320F (00C) within the past 24 hours, please leave the duplicator in a warm room
with temperatures at least 650F (190C) for 4 hours prior to powering it on for the
first time. Failure to do so may cause irreparable harm and prevent the duplicator
from functioning.
3 Maintenance
It is very important to operate and keep the duplicator in a dust free, clean
environment since dust is the number 1 killer for optical recording devices. Failure to
do so may severely damage your duplicator. We strongly suggest you place an Air
Cleaner next to the duplicator and constantly use the Air Duster (Can Air) to clear
off any dust on the surface of the duplicator.

Xerox LS Duplicator 15
Warning: Do not try to use the Air Duster to clean the duplicator while the
reader/writer trays are open. In doing so, you may inadvertently blow dust into
the recording device and damage the recording device.
4 Proper Shutdown
To avoid possible duplicator failures, you need to shutdown the duplicator properly.
To shutdown the duplicator, you need to press the Up or Down Arrow button to “18.
Shutdown”, then press >>and follow instructions on the screen to shutdown the
duplicator properly. Turning off your duplicator without performing this function will
increase the risk of damaging your duplicator.
Notice: While specific drive manufacturers, sizes, and part numbers are shown in this
manual, the market place for drives is constantly changing. We install the best drives
that are available at the time of manufacture, so the actual drives in your system may
be different than the ones shown in this manual. This also applies to the hard disk and
the drive speed options. The hard disk size shown reflects the size of the disk actually
installed in your duplicator. The drive speed options shown reflect the capabilities of the
drives installed in your duplicator. Please take this into consideration when using this
manual.

Inputing Characters/Numbers
When you operate this duplicator, there are
cases when you may be required to enter a
number or a name through the duplicator’s
LCD panel. An example could be entering
the Counter quantity or a Hard Drive Parti-
tion/Image name.
To enter an alpha numeric character, you
need to use the up or down button to scroll
through various numbers or letters then use
the >> (Forward/Enter button) or << (Back/
Escape button) to move the cursor position
right or left. Once you’ve finished, move
the cursor to OK and press the >> button.
For example, if you want to enter a partition
name of “FUN1”, do the following:
a Press the down button repeatedly until
“F” is displayed.
b Press the >>button once to move the
cursor to the next position.
c Press the down button repeatedly until
“U” is displayed.
d Press the >>button once to move the
cursor to the next position.
e Press the down button repeatedly until
“N” is displayed.
f Press the >>button once to move the
cursor to the next position.
g Press the down button repeatedly until
“1” is displayed.
h Press the >>button repeatedly to move
the cursor to OK. Then, press the
>>button once to submit your selection
and proceed to next step.
The below example is meant as
only an illustration for entering
a partition name. For a more
detailed procedure descrip-
tion on how to create a new
partition/image, please refer to
Section 1: Loading Master Disc
content into the Hard Drive as
a partition/image of “Making
Hard Drive-to-Disc Copies” on
page 27.
Edit Partition Name:
[FUN1 ] , OK?
When you enter a number,
normally it asks for a 4 digit
number. If your number is less
than 4 digits, you need to fill
the leading spaces with 0s (any
leading zeros will be skipped).
An example of that would be
0234 (Two hundred and thirty
four) or 0010 (ten).

Chapter 3: Basic Operations
Make Disc-to-Disc Copies
This process will copy your master disc onto single or
multiple blank discs simultaneously. However, due to its si-
multaneous nature, a good conditioned master disc and a
lower recording speed is recommended for higher success
rates and better quality duplications.
For a disc-to-disc copy
The copy source can be either of these devices:
The reader: The reader normally is the 1st drive from the top of the duplicator and is
most often the source typically used when making disc-to-disc copies.
Any of the writers: One of the writers can also be used as the copy source when mak-
ing disc-to-disc copies. This option is typically only used when the reader is either bad
or unable to read the master disc.
Since the duplicator has a hard drive installed, it will simultaneously load the master disc
image into the hard drive while copying from the reader drive to the writer drives during
the first round of the copy process; Then starting from the 2nd round, all copies will be
made from the hard drive for enhanced performance and reliability. If you prefer not to
utilize this feature, please change the “Duplication Mode” setting to “On the Fly” under
the “Setup” menu. Please refer to page 54 for more details.
