What is on your SmartMedia Card
The SmartCard labeled Smart Edit contains your System
Software, which should already be loaded into your
Casablanca. If your Casablanca System is equipped with
a DVD burner, you can use it only after installing the
DVD Arabesk software that is included on the Smart Edit
SmartCard. The DVD software is not automatically
loaded with a new install: it must always be installed
separately.
To access the add-on software, go into your machineʼs
System Settings screen and click on the “Install Product”
button and then insert the Smart Edit card into the reader.
Select Arabesk in the list, and then click “Activate”.
Installing this software also allows you to install add-on
software from the enclosed CD (see below), and also allows
you to import audio from CD faster than real time.
