Introduction to Manage Accounts 
The “Manage Accounts” feature allows the administrator to:
• Create user accounts and passwords to prevent unauthorized use of the 
duplicator.
• View existing user account lists.
• Edit existing user account information, including name and password.
• Delete existing user account(s).
• Enable/Disable the Manage Accounts feature.
The “Manage Accounts” feature is disabled by default. Prior to activating this 
feature, the duplicator recognizes all users as the only activated user defined as the 
administrator. The pre-defined password for this function is “0000”.
With this feature enabled additional users will have their own settings and have 
access only to the hard drive partitions they have loaded. No one else will have the 
permission to access these settings/partitions other than the Administrator.
For example, if USER1 logged-in and loaded a Master Disc to the hard drive 
partition (Partition A), and USER2 logs-in, USER2 will not have access to any 
partition loaded by USER1, which includes partition A.
To take advantage of this feature, use the following instructions:
1. Change the Administrator password. Please refer to Feature Overview “3. Edit 
User Info” on page 54 of this User Guide for more information.
2. Create a User Name and Password for every authorized person on this 
duplicator. Please refer to Feature Overview “2. Create User” on page 54 of this 
User Guide for more information.
3. Enable the “Manage Accounts” feature by turning on the “Password on Boot 
UP” setting. Please refer to “Password on Bootup” on page 55 of this User 
Guide for more information.
Note: This duplicator comes with standard license which allows you 
to create up to 32 users.

Introduction to Duplication Mode
This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive” process to a single step.
There are three features under “Duplication mode”:
1. On the Fly
2. Load and Copy
3. Prompt
On the Fly
This mode instructs the duplicator to copy directly from the Master Disc. The 
duplicator performs simultaneous read and write operations without any delays.
Advantage:
 ▪Ideal for small quantity quick duplication.
Disadvantage:
 ▪Requires a Master Disc for each and every run. (Could be harmful for the 
Master Disc.)
 ▪Maximum DVD duplication speed is typically limited under 8x.
 ▪Requires the Master Disc to be in excellent condition for error free duplication.
Load and Copy
This mode instructs the duplicator to load your Master Disc into the built-in hard 
drive partition called “Reserved” and make the requested quantity of copies directly 
from the hard drive. The content will remain stored in the “Reserved” partition, 
available for future duplications of the same project until you perform this function 
again with a new master or manually rename or delete the content from Hard Drive 
Setup. Once a new master is used for Load and Copy, the “Reserved” partition will 
be overridden or one will be created if it didn’t exist.
Advantage:
 ▪Faster duplication in a long run. (Un-Restricted DVD Duplication speed 
supported by the duplication blank media.)
 ▪Stable duplication.
 ▪Reliable duplication.
Prompt
If you set to “Prompt”, when you go to 1. Copy, you will be asked if you want to do 
“Load and Copy” or “on the Fly”. If you set Duplication Mode to “Load and Copy” or 
“On the Fly”, you will not be prompted when you go to 1. Copy. The duplicator will do 
what you have selected in Duplication Mode.   
						

							www.aleratec.com62
Stand-Alone Tower Publisher LS: Tutorials
Disadvantage:
 ▪The loading time may have an impact on overall duplication time for small 
duplication jobs.
 ▪The Master Disc will be loaded to the reserve partition in the Hard Drive 
temporarily until a new master is loaded and overrides the previous image. 
In comparing this duplication mode with the traditional “Duplication from 
Hard Drive” process, it offers the user more simplicity. By selecting the 
“Load and Copy” mode via one simple touch, all the necessary tasks will 
be automated for you and loaded on to the “Reserved” partition. You can 
rename the data on the “Reserved” partition and place it in a standard 
partition if you wish to keep it. (This must be done prior to loading a new 
master through “Load and Copy)”.
By default, the duplication mode is set to “Auto”. This will prompt you to choose 
between one of the duplication modes when you enter any of the following 
functions: “Copy”, “Test”, “Test + Copy”, and “Copy + Compare”.
However, if you prefer not to be prompted each time, you can always go to “14. 
Setup” and select sub-menu 9 and manually reset it. To do so, preform the following 
steps:
1. Turn on the duplicator. After the bootup is complete, you will see the following 
display:
2. Press the UP or DOWN button consecutively until you see following display:
3. Press ENT button once. You will see the following display:
