Cautions for the possible errors
The drive uses laser light to write data onto the surface of the disc. Writing errors can occur if you use a damaged disc. Make sure
to prevent the conditions below before you start to write a disc.
Note
These settings are recommended for all drives.
Do not use multitasking. Disable the screen saver.
A buffer under-run can occur if the system uses multitasking while the drive writes data.
Do not let any outside computer access the host PC while the drive writes data.
An error can occur if another user accesses a network printer while the drive writes data.
Disable the CD auto-run feature of all drives.
If you insert an auto-run CD into another drive within the same system while the drive writes data, this can cause an error.
It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of small-sized files.
When there are many small files to write, the transfer rate decreases and the Buffer under run protection feature works at a
more frequent rate. This causes a lower writing quality.
If you are doing a CD-to-CD copy, it is not necessary to verify if you have available space on your hard disc.
However, in the case of image files, we recommend that you make sure you to have at least two times the amount of space
needed for the data on your hard disc. This is because image files are copied to the hard disc before they are copied to the
media.
Do not use more than one type of writing software.
Before you install a writing program, make sure to first uninstall existing versions of the program or other writing programs.
After you uninstall any software, restart the PC.
(The Windows operating system can be damaged if you install different language versions)
The write speed for a disc can be restricted if:
1. The disc has bad properties, or there are other discs with bad properties under the same ID.
The drive examines the disc properties to determine the best write conditions for the type of disc. Because the two types of
disc have the same property data but different properties, it is often not possible to use the same settings. It is necessary to
decrease the writing speed to make the writing more stable.
