NOTE ON TERMS AND CONVENTIONS:
From this point forward, the following terms and conventions will apply:
The DP-4201, DP-4202 and DP-4052 Disc Publisher will be abbreviated simply as the Publisher. The DP-4200 AutoPrinter will be refered to as the AutoPrinter.
Optical discs, which can include many different types of discs including CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD+/-Rs, BDRs and more are all referred to as CDs or discs. Please note that in order to copy and record BDRs, you will need to have purchased the Blu-ray version of the Publisher.

These instructions are written to apply to all models. For example there are no special instructions for burning Blu-ray Discs™ if you have a Blu-ray model. The software simply recognizes that you have Blu-ray capable drives and adds the BDR media type to the list of available media to burn.
Important Note: The Blu (Blu-ray) units require a USB 3.0 port for the fastest possible burn speeds.
1B. CHOOSING A GOOD LOCATION
- Place the Publisher in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up. You will need at least 61cm (24") of overhead space to allow the top cover to open freely.
- Do not place the Publisher near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
