Using the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower
Disc Spanning
To use Disc Spanning go to Setup and enable Disc Spanning. When you want to copy
a Memory Card which has a content size bigger than a disc, the DVD/CD Flash Copy
Tower will automatically estimate the number of blank discs required for the job and
execute Disc Spanning. Whenthelesizeisveryclosetothewritablespaceonthe
blankdiscs,theDVD/CDFlashCopyTowermayunderestimatethenumberofdiscs
needed.IfthishappensyoucanaddanextradiscbeforeyoustartorwhentheDVD/
CDFlashCopyTowerdisplays“WaitingDisc”. For example, when you copy an SD
Card with over 2GB content size to CDs, you place a CD into the burner, and the DVD/
CD Flash Copy Tower will calculate total number of discs to back up this SD Card (4
discs for this example, see Setup → Advanced Setup → DVD/CD/Spare Size on page 24
of this User Guide for seting writable space on DVD/CD). If you place a DVD (4.7G)
to copy, the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will start copying without requiring additional
discs.
Using Disc Spanning
1. Plug a Memory Card (ex. SD) and place a blank DVD or CD disc into the burner.
2. Select 1.Copy, → Select 1.M-CardtoDisc → Press OK → The DVD/CD Flash
Copy Tower will begin copying.

When a disc is nished copying, it will be ejected. If the Disc Spanning process is
not complete, the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will prompt you for a new blank disc
to continue the copying.

Memory Card that has a single file whose content size is bigger than a
disc size.

www.aleratec.com
Using the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower
Note: Keep disc type consistent when using Disc Spanning. For example,
if you place a CD-R as the first disc for copying, do not place a DVD-R or
DVD+R to continue copying. The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will show an
error message and ask for another blank CD-R.
Note: Disc Spanning will automatically detect the next blank disc and
eject the completed first disc.
Multi-Session Backup
The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower can combine several small size Memory Cards
and USB ash drives together into a disc. For example, you can put an SD Card,
Memory stick, Memory stick pro, USB, MP3(USB), and handy drives, etc. with
total content size smaller than a CD disc size (see Setup → Advanced Setup →
DVD/CD Spare Size on page 24 of this User Guide for setting writable space on
DVD/CD) together. The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will execute close session after
every copying session, and keep this disc open for next time copying as long as the
disc’s remaining size is enough.
1. Insert a Memory Card (e.g. USB ash drive) and place a DVD or CD into the
burner.
2. Select 1.Copy, → Select 1.USBtoDisc → Press OK → The DVD/CD Flash

Note: Multi-Session Backup does not support disc spanning.
Note: The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower can use blank disc to start
Multi-Session function; if the disc has data inside, the DVD/CD Flash
Copy Tower can’t execute Multi-Session function. Therefore, if you
like to use CD-RW or DVD RW to backup, please make sure you have
erased the original data of the disc.
