Hardware Configuration

Before starting the installation process, please review the ElitePro hardware

and functions below:

Twww.discmakers.com 1-888-800-4041 7

Step 1

Unpacking the Hardware

Your system was shipped in three separate boxes. The larger box contains the

ElitePro unit, keyboard, mouse, and cables. The remaining two boxes contain

the monitor and Disc Makers Autograph on-disc inkjet printer. Please inspect

the contents and verify them against your packing slip. Be sure to report any

errors in shipping immediately.

Select a suitable location for your ElitePro. It should be level, clean, and free

from excessive vibration. Carefully open the largest box and remove the top

protection cardboard sheet. You will then be able to remove the following:

• CD pick arm

• Keyboard

• Mouse

• Printer control cable

• AC power cord

• Software and manual

Next, by lifting straight upward, carefully remove the foam container and foam

protection over the ElitePro unit. You will see the ElitePro in a plastic bag. The

ElitePro has lifting handles on either side. Locate the lifting handles (see page

6) and remove the ElitePro from the box. Take the ElitePro out of the plastic

bag and place all shipping components back into the shipping carton.

Important: Please retain the original box and packaging in the event the unit

requires future servicing or you need to move the unit from one location to

another. This will help to reduce the possibility of damage occurring in transit.

Any item that needs to be returned for a warranty repair must be returned

in the original packaging. (See page 2.)

Remove the monitor and the printer from their shipping cartons. Proceed to

installation of the CD Pick arm.

Large box opened with parts

located in top section. Remove foam sections to access

the ElitePro unit. Locate the lifting handles (see

page 6) on the ElitePro unit and

lift out.

Step 2

Installation of the CD Pick Arm

The CD pick arm needs to be installed onto the robotic lift ring.

• Remove the pick arm from its bubble wrap packaging. Included with the pick

arm will be a bag containing two small black plastic rivets. These are used to

hold the pick arm in place. Each rivet is two pieces, an outer sleeve and and

expander pin that presses through the center of the sleeve. Remove the

expander pin from each rivet.

• Align the two holes on either side of the pick arm with the holes on the CD lift

mechanism. Hold the pick arm with one hand and insert a rivet sleeve into

each side. Press the expander pin through the center of each sleeve.

• Plug the RJ12 telephone type connector into the pick arm. Give a slight tug

on this cable to make sure it’s locked into place. Once the pick arm is in

place it CANNOT be manually moved left/right or up/down.

• To remove the pick arm, unplug the cable connector, remove the expander

pin from each plastic rivet, and the sleeve will slide out easily from the pick

arm.

• Please note: the Pick arm must be removed from the robotics lifter ring

before repackaging and placing the foam protection over the unit.

1. Locate pick arm and retainers.

3. Hold pick arm in place and

connect RJ12 connector.

2. Press in the black plastic

retainers.

4. The pick arm after installation.

Step 3

Installation and Connection of AC Power, Monitor, Keyboard,

and Mouse.

• Plug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse into each of their color-coded

connections located on the rear of the ElitePro unit. These connections are

identical to the common connections of standard computers.

• Arrange the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the right side of the ElitePro

unit to allow easy access.

• Plug the AC power cord into the monitor and into a standard 115VAC outlet.

• Plug the power cord into the power supply of the ElitePro, also located on

the rear side. Plug into a standard 115VAC outlet.

We recommend that you plug these components into a common plug strip with

surge protection AC filtering. We also strongly recommend that you use a UPS

to protect your system in the event of power outages.

Step 4

Installation of the Autograph On-disc Printer

Review the Autograph printer manual, which was included in the box with your

printer. Install the print cartridge (also included in the box with your printer)

according to the instructions in the printer manual before mounting your printer

on the Elite duplicator. Note: You can order additional inkjet cartridges online at

www.discmarket.com, or call your product specialist at 1-888-800-4041.

The ElitePro is preset for the Autograph printer, and all operating label software

and drivers have been installed on the system.

Place the Autograph printer into the printer holding tray located at the top of the

ElitePro system above the drives. Holding the printer with hands on the left and

right side, insert the front of the printer at an angle first, then lower the back

section gently down in place. The printer should be securely inserted into the

printer holding tray and should be completely level.

Plug in the parallel printer cable provided with the ElitePro into the rear of the

printer and into the ElitePro connector on the rear of the system.

Plug in the printer mini din control cable (this is similar to a keyboard cable

and has connectors on both ends) into matching connectors in the rear of the

printer and the rear of the ElitePro.

Place the AC power adapter that was provided with the printer next to the rear

of the printer and plug into a standard 115VAC outlet.

When you plug in the printer, power is applied. The printer will perform a basic

internal test and then wait for additional commands from the operator of the

software.

Install printer by allowing front section to rest in

place, then lower the rear section into the tray. Connect the printer control cable

and parallel cable to the printer.

Connect the printer parallel cable

to the ElitePro. Connect the printer control cable

to the ElitePro.
