4.3 Creating a job

Choose "New Job" in the "File" menu to create a new copy job with the Job Wizard.

In the Job Wizard, clicking the "Select" button (see

figure below) to select an image. Then choose the

required image using the "Open" dialog box which is

shown.

If you want to use a Short Image please be aware that

".img.short" files will not be shown in the Open dialog

due to the standard settings that only shows *.img

files. Please select "Files of type: All Files (*.*)" to open the Short Image.

Check the "No. of copies" check box and enter the total number of copies you want to

produce (see figure below). If you don't mark the "No. of copies" check box, an unlimit-

ed amount of copies is produced until you cancel the copying process manually by

loading a new job.

When making copies using a short image, it is only necessary for the CopyStation to

write data to some of the memory blocks in the destination memory card. This leads

to a speed advantage. However, if the destination card has already been used to store

files, some of the unused and unwritten blocks may still contain old data. Although the

old data will not appear as files in the file system (directory), in some cases the data

can be analyzed using special software tools. This could present a security risk if the

memory card was previously used to store sensitive information.

For short images too, the storage capacity of the master (source) memory card must

be identical to the storage capacity of the destination cards (the cards onto which you

want to copy).

Choose "Create Image" in the "Execute" menu. This opens the "Create Image Options"

dialog box:

If you check the "Create short image" checkbox, the CopyStation software will create a

normal image and a second image with the file extension ".img.short". Use the second

image to create a short image job. When you specify the copy job in the Job Wizard,

you must check the "Allow short image file" checkbox in the "Extended Settings" tab

(see next chapter).
