BEFORE GETTING STARTED

Handling Optical Discs

Never touch the printable or data surface o f the discs, as it may decrease disc quality and lifespan. Always handle discs from the outer edge or the center hole.

Loading Discs to Nimbie USB Plus

Load one disc into the disc loader first and assure it is firmly resting on the three wheels in the illustration to the right. Then, gradually add and stack additional discs on top of the first disc until the loader is full.

Nimbie USB Plus processes discs in a First In, First Out (FIFO) sequence. During a job, you can gently add more disc , before the loader becomes empty.

Page 16

Operation Manual, Nimbie USB Plus Version 1.2

Rejected Discs

Nimbie USB Plus is designed to have Rejected Discs come out underneath the unit. Do not block the Reject Disc Slot.

Periodically remove rejected disc s so that there is room to accommodate more discs or raise Nimbie USB Plus using the provided legs to increase space underneath for more discs.

Important:

Nimbie USB Plus will stop operation if rejected discs cannot go through the Reject Disc Slot.

More Than 30 Discs in One Session

Using the extension rods, Nimbie USB Plus can process 100 discs without refilling. To increase capacity to 100 discs, please follow the instru ctions below:

1) Open the Blank Disc Storage Lid.

2) Remove the extension rods from the lid’s underside.

3) One after another align the rods into the three holes on the disc loader, then, gently turn the rods counterclockwise to make sure that they are firmly attached.

4) Use a suitable box to raise Nimbie USB Plus approximately 96 mm high to accommodate for the output of 100 discs.

5) Use the alignment pad to appropriately position the Finish Disc Bin below the Finish Disc Slot. The Finish

Page 17

Version 1.2 Operation Manual, Nimbie USB Plus

Disc Bin may be a spindle box or a container with enough depth to accommodate 100 discs in a session.

Since Nimbie USB Plus is equipped with a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) disc loader, you may simply refill discs before the disc loader becomes empty. This will allow an unlimited number of additional discs to be processed in one session, as long as the Finish Disc Bin is continually emptied.

To remove the extension rods from the disc loader, turn the rods clockwise and pull them upward vertically. When not using the rods, return them to their original position on the lid’s underside.

Nimbie USB Plus Maintenance

Periodically cleaning the device will ensure proper performance. Follow the steps below to maintain Nimbie USB Plus:

1) Turn the power switch to the Off position.

2) Remove the master and blank discs.

3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

4) Clean Nimbie USB Plus using a lint-free cloth moistened with warm water.

5) Dry the unit immediately with a dry lint-free cloth.

Choosing Reliable Blank Discs

The quality of a recordable disc depends on its chemical and coating technology. There are a variety of discs with various degrees of disc quality available on the market. If you encounter a high failure rate, please try a different type, speed, or brand of disc.

There are many different brands, speeds and CD/DVD recordable media formats on the market. We do our best to test certain media types. It is impossible for us to guarantee that all discs will be compatible.

Please choose a blank disc that is most suitable for your application. You may contact your local dealer for advice on the best suitable blank disc for your system. In addition, we suggest users to test blan k discs by using disc simulation before actually writing to discs.

Important:

As with blank discs, the quality an d the da ta format of the master disc play a critical role in the duplication process.

Page 18

Operation Manual, Nimbie USB Plus Version 1.2

Disc Separation

Certain blank discs may tend to stick to each other or may be difficult to separate. Avoid us ing these types of discs. Nimbie USB Plus is equipped with a patent pending disc separator, which handles discs that adhere to each other better than traditional autoloaders. However, it is strongly recommended that you separate or loosen blank discs from each other before use.

Start QQGetTray for Mac

QQGetTray is a software utility enables autoloader to automatically load and unload discs with other 3rd party software applications.

Many software applications are capable of processing disc burning or ripping jobs automatically after a disc is loaded to a CD/DVD drive and will eject the drive tray when the job is finished. With QQGetTray monitoring the drive tray, the autoloader can automatically unload the disc when the tray is ejected, then close the tray automatically after the next disc is loaded.

Set up third party software for auto-loading process

Make sure the software has been set to:

1. Auto-process when a disc is loaded into the CD/DVD drive.

2. Eject the disc after the job is done.

3. Select Nimbie USB Plus as the external drive.

Examples:

• iTunes Set iTunes to “Import and Eject” under Edit > Pre ferences.

• Windows Media Player Set “Rip CD Automatically When Inserted” to “Always”, and

check “Eject CD After Ripping” under “Rip Options”.

APPENDIX A: TIPS

Nimbie USB Plus Maintenance

Periodically cleaning the device will ensure proper performance. Follow the steps below to maintain Nimbie USB Plus:

1) Turn the power switch to the Off position.

2) Remove the master and blank discs.

3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Choosing Reliable Blank Discs

There are many different brands, speeds and BD/CD/DVD recordable media formats on the market. We do our best to test certain media types. It is impossible for us to guarantee that all discs will be compatible.

Important:

As with blank discs, the quality an d the da ta format of the master disc play a critical role in the duplication process.

Disc Separation

Page 24

Operation Manual, Nimbie USB Plus Version 1.2

Writing Speed

The recorder will automatically adjust the writing speed according to the disc quality. The system will monitor and automatically adjust the writing speed as the optical laser moves from the inner ring to the outer ring, up to the selected speed. The recorder ’s maximum spee d may never be reached if a lower grade disc is used.

At the maximum speed, for a single recorder, duplicating a 4.7 GB DVD should not take more than 8 minutes. Please check both the quality of the blank and the master disc if the duplication process takes more than 8 minutes for a single disc. Use a reliable master disc for testing purposes. You should also try different specification and brands of blank discs.

You should also check the power supply’s voltage and amperes. Insufficient power supply may decrease output rate or increas e failure rate.

As a general rule, a lower writing speed will improve quality. When creating audio and video discs a lower writing speed is recommended to assure quality.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0

In order to achieve the full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, a PC with built-in USB 3.0 ports or USB 3.0 host card installed is required.

USB 3.0 interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0, however the transfer rate will be limited at USB 2.0.

Mac hardware currently do not support USB 3.0, Nimbie USB Plus can only be used as a USB 2.0 device on Mac computers.
