Product Overview

The new CF1-1 duplicator was designed with diversified media compatibility and high-speed
performance in mind to not only flawlessly duplicate large capacity targets, but it is also
portable so that you can copy CF cards anywhere. The user-friendly interface offers stress
free operation with no steep learning curve to climb. Its ergonomic design facilitates
efficient operation through simpler insertion and removal of flash cards and the new design
allows for better space utilization.

 Ultrahigh transmission speed.
 Real multitask processing capability. Whether copy, compare or format, each feature is

independently executed. Each flash slot has an independent processing unit.

 Non-PC based, with no risk of virus infection.
 One touch copy. Real time information will be displayed on the LCD screen.
 Ultrahigh speed bit-for-bit hardware comparison.
 Reads CF card serial numbers.
 Small footprint design allows for portability.

Function

1. Copy

Before executing this function, please read “Setup Before Copy” to better understand the
copy process and results.

Copy Area

Copy area setting ➡ [7. Setup >> 7.1 Copy Area]
Before duplication, select the data area with "Copy area".

Select "System and Files"

Select "Whole Media"

Note

 If flash card is removed during copy process, the system will stop

immediately and the red light will illuminate to notify user that the
copy has failed. Removing the flash card during copy is strongly
discouraged as it will damage the flash card.

 Backup the data on target flash cards before starting the copying

process as any preexisting data will be lost once copy is complete.

★ Setup Before Copy

There are several sub-functions related to copy results, which can be adjusted in function
[7. Setup] before copying.

2. Compare

The compare function checks the accuracy of copy result. After the copy finishes, go to
function 2 and press "OK" to start the compare process.

3. Copy+Compare

This is the most convenient function. Rather than going to function [2.Compare], then
pressing "OK" after copy finishes, function [3.Copy+Compare] automatically runs the
compare function after copy completion to ensure an accurate copy result.

★ How to Ensure Duplication is Correct?

CF121 provides the most precise "compare function" to provide our clients with the most
reliable duplications. Using function [2. Compare] or [3. Copy+Compare] is strongly
recommended for guaranteed copy accuracy.

 Execute Function [2. Compare] for data checking between source and targets after

copy has concluded.

 Select Function [3. Copy+Compare] to automatically execute data comparison after

copy has finished.

Note

1. These two functions will examine the contained data, post copy, via a
strict bit-for-bit comparison. This highly increases data accuracy.

2. User is responsible for verification of targets’ quality. Testing a few
completed targets in a mass production environment for quality control is
recommended.

Caution

User is responsible for verification of targets’ quality. Testing a few
completed targets in a mass production environment for quality control is
recommended.

6.1.1 Auto Format

This function formats flash into FAT. Plug in the flash media and press "OK". The system
will automatically detect its capacity, then format the media per its capacity.

 If the flash media format is already FAT16 or FAT32, the format function won’t alter its

original format.

 If the original flash media is not FAT format, i.e. NTFS, Linux or FAT multipartition.

The system will format per flash’s capacity. If capacity is above 2GB, the system will format

the flash to FAT32 and below 2GB, the system will format the flash to FAT16.

Capacity < 2GB

Format FAT16

Capacity > 2GB

Format FAT32

Note

The source port will not perform any formatting because this function will

delete the flash media’s data.

6.1.2 FAT16 Format

Sets the FAT16 format.

6.1.3 FAT32 Format

Sets the FAT32 format.

6.1.4 Set FAT16 Cluster Size

Sets the FAT16 cluster size.

6.1.5 Set FAT32 Cluster Size

Sets the FAT32 cluster size.

★ Erase the Flash Card

Caution

Flash data will be wiped out. Please make sure to backup all important
data before using this function.

6.2 Quick Erase

This function erases flash data while keeping the format if the original flash format is
FAT16/32. Use the ▲▼buttons to view status, progress, and information.

Note

Quick erase function will erase only FAT 16/32 formatted flashes.

6.3 Full Erase

Completely erases the entire flash media, including format and content. This task takes
longer. Pressing <ESC> during this process will abandon the task, but the original format
and content will no longer be readable.

6.4 DoD Erase

DoD Erase complies with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD 5220) standards by
erasing the flash three times, which guarantees that data is completely scrubbed.

system Update, and press OK to update duplicator’s firmware.

Caution

The firmware update process may take longer than 5 minutes. Please do
not disrupt power or process during BIOS update. If interrupted, the
system will become useless. The manufacturer will not be held
responsible for any damages.

7. Setup

7.1 Copy Area

➊ Copy Area: System and Files

Also known as "Quick Copy”. The source’s format is automatically analyzed and if it’s

recognizable, such as, FAT 16/32/64, NTFS, or Linux ext. 2/3/4, the system will copy the
data only, rather than the entire flash.

Note

If the file format is not recognized, the whole flash card, including empty

space, will be copied even if you specify copy area in “System and Files”.

➋ Copy Area: Whole Media

The system will copy the whole flash card, including empty space and format. This
function is useful when users want to copy the whole flash or have a flash source with
an unknown format. "Whole media" copies take a bit longer to complete.

7.2 Button Sound

Controls whether to hear a sound when a button is pressed.

7.3 Power Off Time Between Copy+Compare

The use of this setting is highly advised as it prevents data loss due to unstable flash.
Users can set the time gap of power supply between copy and compare. The time gap
can be set from 0 to 15 seconds. The default is "0".

7.4 CF Transfer Mode

There are 7 CF transfer mode options to choose from. The default setting is UDMA4, which

automatically adjusts the speed per your CF card. If unsure of the CF card’s quality, you can

manually reduce the transfer speed.
There are 7 transmission speed options:

 PIO Mode 4
 MDMA Mode 2
 UDMA Mode 0
 UDMA Mode 1
 UDMA Mode 2
 UDMA Mode 3
 UDMA Mode 4 (Default)
