Creating Discs on a PC 25

Job Status Window

. As each Job Panel is formed, an entry

is made in the Job Status Window at the lower left side of

the main

Application Window

. When jobs are started, this

list displays the status of each job, including the number of

discs copied and the number remaining. This window

may be hidden by clicking on the Show Job List Panel

under the View menu.

One other sub-window available is called the

Activity Log

Panel. It records all user actions and system responses during

the recording process by time of occurrence. If a problem

occurs while you're not present in front of the computer, you

can browse the log to find out details that may no longer be

present on the main screen. The Log may be viewed by

clicking on View: Show Log. The log may be saved (this

happens automatically every time you exit the software).

Emptying the log will delete all entries permanently.
Overview of Recording
Three basic recording operations are available: (1) actual

recording, (2) test recording, and (3) verifying.
Actual recording is self-explanatory. Discs will be recorded

without any testing beforehand. If you have used the

Publisher successfully before with a particular brand of media

that is highly reliable, you may choose to record without

testing or verifying. This will deliver the highest throughput

rate of finished discs.
Test recording performs all of the operations of recording with

the drive's laser turned on to reading power. A test recording

run will determine if the data source will keep up with the

recorder's demand.
Verifying will compare the data recorded to the original data.

This ensures that the recorded data exactly matches the

original. Note that is will take about twice as long to Record

and Verify as compared to just Record. All discs that do not

verify properly will be rejected.
Please note that if Verify is not enabled, Primo will still reject

discs that record improperly. The Verify feature simply double

checks the record job to compare that the copy and master

contain the same information.
