This function is used to set the tolerance % of flash capacity difference between source and targets. ESC OK USB Duplicator 7. Setup ESC OK 7. Setup: 4. Asyn Hold Time ESC OK Asyn Hold Time 30sec.
www.aleratec.com30 Using the USB Duplicator 7.5 Ignore Size - continued 1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to scroll through the menu until Setup is displayed on the LCD screen. Press the OK button to select or press ESC to go to the next setting. 2. Use the UP or Down arrow to scroll through the options until Ignore Size is displayed on the LCD screen. Press OK. 3. Default setting is 3% ; press the arrow keys to change and press OK. Note: Source flash drive and blank drives need to be the same capacity for two reasons. 1. During the copy process the source flash drive “index sector” is copied to the target flash drive. The index sector of a flash drive contains the drives specifications, size and FAT table. Different drive sizes will have different index sectors. For example if your are copying a 2G source flash drive to a 4G target flash drive without performing data transforming, the index sector of the 2G source would be copied to the 4G target flash drive effectively changing it to a 2G flash drive because of the copied 2G index sector. 2. If you allow the system to execute data transforming from a source flash drive to multiple target flash drive in addition to longer copying time there is a potential for data loss during data transforming. Note: If you need to copy a source flash to a target with a big capacity difference there are two ways to avoid potential problems. 1. Use the Setup function Ignore Size to increase the tolerance % of the source and target. 2. Turn the Setup function Analyze Source to OFF. ESC OK USB Duplicator 7. Setup ESC OK 7. Setup: 5.
