This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive” process to a single step.
There are three features under “Duplication mode”:

1.  On the Fly

2.  Load and Copy

3.  Prompt

On the Fly

This mode instructs the duplicator to copy directly from the Master Disc. The 

duplicator performs simultaneous read and write operations without any delays.
Advantage:

 ▪ Ideal for small quantity quick duplication.

Disadvantage:

 ▪ Requires a Master Disc for each and every run. (Could be harmful for the 

Master Disc.)

 ▪ Maximum DVD duplication speed is typically limited under 8x.

 ▪ Requires the Master Disc to be in excellent condition for error free duplication.

Load and Copy

This mode instructs the duplicator to load your Master Disc into the built-in hard 

drive partition called “Reserved” and make the requested quantity of copies directly 

from the hard drive. The content will remain stored in the “Reserved” partition, 

available for future duplications of the same project until you perform this function 

again with a new master or manually rename or delete the content from Hard Drive 

Setup. Once a new master is used for Load and Copy, the “Reserved” partition will 

be overridden or one will be created if it didn’t exist.
Advantage:

 ▪ Faster duplication in a long run. (Un-Restricted DVD Duplication speed 

supported by the duplication blank media.)

 ▪ Stable duplication.

 ▪ Reliable duplication.

Prompt

If you set to “Prompt”, when you go to 1. Copy, you will be asked if you want to do 

“Load and Copy” or “on the Fly”. If you set Duplication Mode to “Load and Copy” or 

“On the Fly”, you will not be prompted when you go to 1. Copy. The duplicator will do 

what you have selected in Duplication Mode.
