Packing Materials
Please retain the original box and packaging in the event that the unit
requires future servicing. This will help to reduce the possibility of damage
occurring in transit.
The Best Place To Put The Scribe EC Standalone
The best operating location for the Scribe EC Standalone duplicator is in a
climate-controlled area, free of dirt, dust, humidity, excessive heat, direct
sunlight, and electronic or electromagnetic interference. Room temperature
should be between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or between 18 and 23
degrees Celsius. Place the Scribe EC Standalone on a solid, steady work
surface, and allow sufficient room for all incidental work materials. Provide
at least six inches of clearance on all sides of the unit for ventilation.

Document Revision: 030501.1
Safety Precautions
The system is shipped with a three-prong power connector, and must be
used with a properly grounded AC receptacle. DO NOT try to defeat the
third “ground” prong. All computer peripherals must be properly grounded,
and the Scribe EC Standalone is no exception. The use of a power
conditioner, such as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or a surge
protector, is highly recommended. The minimum required size is 500VA.

Creating A Hard Disk Image
The Scribe EC Standalone comes equipped with an internal hard disk drive,
which can be used to store copies of master discs for later recording or
comparing. Each master is saved as a single image file. Up to six images
can be stored on the hard disk at one time.
A hard disk image is useful as a convenient way of copying standard master
discs. For example, create hard disk images for three or four master discs
which are needed on a regular basis, and access them to make copies as
required.
Document Revision: 011804
Operator’s Guide
Creating A Single Hard Disk Image
Although the Scribe EC Standalone’s internal hard disk can store up to six
images of master discs, it is sometimes prudent not to use this Multiple
Image feature and only allow one image to be created and stored. For
example, using a single image simplifies the copying process. This reduces
the chance that an operator might make copies of the wrong master by
selecting the incorrect hard disk image.
To create a single hard disk image (multiple images disabled), the steps are
as follows:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:
• Press the “COPY” key. The screen will now read:
• Press the “Stop/No” key. The screen will now read:

• Press the “Start/Yes” key. The screen will now read in sequence:

The master disc is now stored as an image on the hard disk
Note: If the master failed to copy to the hard drive properly, the
master disc will be placed in the reject area in front of the
drives. These discs should not be used.
• Press the “Start/Yes” key, and you will be returned to the main operating
screen:
Note: When the Multiple Images feature is disabled, only one image
can be saved on the hard disk. If a new image is created, the
old image is overwritten.

Working With CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) Discs
In addition to working with CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, the Scribe EC
Standalone can also copy both to and from CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs.
CD-R discs are write-once and can be read on any CD audio player, CDROM, and MultiRead CD-ROM drive. CD-RW discs can be rewritten to as
many as 1,000 times, and are read using MultiRead CD-ROM (usually 24x
and faster), and CD-ROM drives.
CD-RW Supported Formats
Document Revision: 011804
The Scribe EC Standalone can copy CD-RW discs written in most logical
formats (ISO 9660, audio, etc.) but not those created using the Universal
Disk Format (UDF). CD-RW discs using UDF are produced by packet
writing software (such as Adaptec DirectCD, CeQuadrat PacketCD, Prassi
abCD, etc.). Because UDF discs cannot be read by all CD-ROM drives,
they are not a good choice for distributing data.
CD-RW Copying Speed
CD-RW copying speed is determined by two factors - the CD-RW writing
speed of the recorders installed in the Scribe EC Standalone, and the
maximum speed rating of the discs themselves. CD-RW discs are
manufactured with an internal speed code, which is checked before copying
begins. The Scribe EC Standalone, equipped with the MF Digital
ProDRIVE 52x drives, will only accept CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs
rated up to 24x speed.

Firmware Updates
From time to time the Scribe EC Standalone’s internal “firmware” may need updating to
add new features or improve existing functions. Firmware is easily updated by loading a
“Firmware Update CD” into the system. The latest version of firmware will be available
for downloading to your computer from the MF DIGITAL web site:
www.MFDIGITAL.com
Once a firmware image file is downloaded, a “Firmware Update CD” can then be written
using a computer, a CD-R/RW recorder, and most popular premastering programs (such
as: Adaptec Easy CD Creator and Toast, CeQuadrat WinOnCD, Ahead Nero, NTI CDMaker, and others). Refer to your premastering software documentation for details on
how to record a disc from an image file.
After having created a “Firmware Update CD”, perform the following steps to update the
Scribe EC Standalone firmware:
• With the system turned ON, load the “Firmware Update CD” into the
top CD-R/RW recorder.
• Turn off the power to the Scribe EC Standalone.
• Turn on the power to the Scribe EC Standalone.
• The system will startup:
• You will see the “Initializing System” screen:
• You will see the upgrade firmware screen:
• Select “Yes” to upgrade the firmware.
• Upon completion, the system will automatically reboot and the
following screen will appear:
• Remove the CD at this time.

• It is possible that the firmware on the CD-R/RW drives may be updated
during this process. If so, you will notice all the drive lights come on
and the screen will read “Firmware Upgrade”. DO NOT TURN
SYSTEM OFF. Turning system off during the process will damage the
drives.
• You will then be returned to the main operating screen:

Appendix A: Supported Formats
Originally designed for audio use, the Compact Disc (CD) evolved quickly and now
employs a wide variety of formats for audio, data, and multimedia applications. The
following is a list of the most popular formats currently supported by the Scribe EC
Standalone. Periodic firmware updates will be made available to deal with new formats
as they appear. To obtain the latest version of firmware, contact your MF DIGITAL
reseller or download the update from the MF DIGITAL web site: www.MF
DIGITAL.com
Many CD formats are international or industry standards, but variations on them may
emerge from time to time. Should you encounter a disc (which does not employ a copy
protection scheme) that you cannot copy on your Scribe EC Standalone, MF DIGITAL
will do its best to promptly add support for this format. Dealing with custom formats,
however, may be subject to a development charge.
Keeping track of how the various formats relate to each other can be confusing. For
example, the Scribe EC Standalone can copy all CD-ROM Mode 1 discs - this includes
ISO 9660, HFS, Hybrid, Rock Ridge and many other types of file systems. As a result,
the Scribe EC Standalone will most likely copy CD formats not listed in the table below.
If you require further assistance, please contact MF DIGITAL’s technical support
department at (631)249-9393 x310 or email: support@MF DIGITAL.com
