Handling Procedures

Obey the following cautions when handling the drive or discs.

Cautions During Installation

• Install the drive in accordance with the specifications. Be careful to

avoid locations likely to cause vibration or shock.

• Avoid locations where there is high humidity, much dust, or poor

ventilation.

• A void locations in direct sunlight, with severe changes in humidity,

or places where there are extremely high or low temperatures.

• Don't use the drive near radio or television receivers. It may inter-

fere with their reception.

• Dismantling the drive to attempt repairs or for other reasons is dan-

gerous because the laser may radiate outside the unit. Do not disas­semble the drive.

Cautions During Use

• Don't suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm one, or

suddenly raise the room temperature. Condensation may occur, caus­ing abnormal operation.

• Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may

be damaged, causing data loss.

• Be careful to prevent foreign objects such as liquids or metal from

entering the drive. Should by chance a foreign object enter the drive,
please consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.

• Don't use benzene or thinner to clean dirt from the drive. Don't al-

low chemicals such as insecticides to contact the drive. Use a soft
cloth to wipe the drive, or moisten a cloth with neutral detergent
diluted with water and use it to clean particularly dirty areas.

• Don't cutoff the electric power while the drive is operating.

• If two different devices with the same SCSI ID are connected to the

SCSI bus, the system may fail to function. Be careful that none of
the SCSI IDs are the same when installing the equipment.

• Keep the total length of the SCSI cable within 6 meters.

• When connecting the SCSI cable to the drive, make sure the power

is OFF.

• Never insert a damaged disc into the drive.

• In wintertime, don't use a disc soon after bringing in from outdoors.

Use it only after it has reached room temperature.

ii

Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning

• Remove the disc by pressing the eject button.

• Use compressed air to clear dust from the drive. (Spray the com-

pressed air for about 5 seconds). (See Fig. 1)

• Check to see if there is dirt on the surface of the disc. Be careful not

to touch the disc with the fingers when doing this. (See Fig. 2)

• After cleaning the disc with compressed air, place it on the disc tray

and mount it.

W e suggest using Perfect Duster II (80z.) as compressed air for clean­ing.

Other Cautions

• When moving the equipment, make sure that the disc has been re-

moved from the drive.

• When connecting connectors, make sure that the power is OFF. If

the power is ON, there is a possibility of short circuit.

• When not using the drive for a long period, dust may adhere to the

disc tray. Before using the drive again, use dry air cleaner to remove
the dust from the tray.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Multimedia Printer Series (Compact Disc
Recorder/ReWriter) MP 7060S series (abbreviated CD-R/RW drive).

Be sure to read this manual carefully before using this product.

This manual explains everything you need to know to operate this product.
Keep it in a safe place and refer to it whenever necessary.

Writing software must be installed in the host computer in order to write on
the CD-R/RW discs. Refer to the software manual for details.

Multimedia Printer series

The Multimedia Printer Series Drive (the CD-R/RW Drive) can do much
more than read and write the usual CD-R discs. When loaded with a rewritable
CD-RW disc, you can record, read and edit any kind of data. This is because
the CD-RW discs allow you to rewrite information that has already been
recorded.

causes read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due to damage
to the disc itself.

5.1 Load the disc

(1) Press the eject button.
(2) Place the disc on the disc tray.

When using a 120mm CD, place it in the large round depression. The face
with the label on it should be up. Never place both discs in the tray at the
same time.
* This drive cannot be used with 80 mm CDs.

Be careful not to touch the recording surface of the disc.

(3) Load the disc by pressing the eject button or by lightly pushing in the

disc tray .

causing read errors, write errors, or drive failure.

5.3 Emergency Eject

This drive has a function that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this
becomes necessary in an emergency such as failure of the drive or a power
outage. Follow the following procedures in such a case.

Don't use this feature except in an emergency .

(1) Turn the power to OFF.
(2) Poke a fine tipped object into the small hole above the eject button. The

front door pops open and the disk tray comes partway out.

(3) Pull the front door to open it all the way , then grip the disc tray between

thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.

This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it
excessively will cause malfunction.

* If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a

steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.

18

5.4 Using the Drive in a Vertical Position

The drive can be installed in a vertical position. If this is done, the tabs on
the disk tray will need to be rotated to stop the disk from falling out. With
your finger, rotate the tabs inwards until you hear a click, so they face the
center of the tray. The disk is inserted on the inside of these tabs.

Make sure the eject button is at the top of the unit when installing the unit
in a vertical position.
