NOTE ON TERMS AND CONVENTIONS:
From this point forward, the following terms and conventions will apply:
The Disc Publisher SE-3 will be abbreviated simply as the Publisher.
Optical discs, which can include many different types of discs including CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD+/-Rs and more are all referred to as CDs or discs. Please note that in order to copy and record DVDs, you will need to have purchased the DVD version of the Publisher.
1A. NOTE ON MODEL DIFFERENCES
The Disc Publisher SE-3 (DPSE-3) comes in three different models which are:
- DPSE-3 AutoPrinter (No Drives) Print Only - See Section 3A, C and D.
- DPSE-3 Disc Publisher (DVD Drive) Burns and Prints CD, DVDs and DVD-DL.
- DPSE-3 Blu (BDR Drive) Burns and Prints CD, DVD, DVD-DL, BDR and BDR-DL.
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.
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 38.73cm (15.25") of over-head space to fully open the cover.
- 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.
