摘要:
The effect of detection errors when detecting if a disc recording medium is in a disc drive is eliminated. A control unit 17 detects if an optical disc 11 was supplied to an optical disc drive 13 based on the operation of the transportation unit 16, causes the optical disc drive 13 to detect if an optical disc 11 is inside the disc drive, and compares the results of these detection operations. If the results do not match, the control unit 17 causes the optical disc drive 13 to repeat the operation discharging and loading the optical disc 11, and causes the optical disc drive 13 to again detect if an optical disc 11 is present after the discharge and loading operation. The control unit 17 then determines if the new detection result from the optical disc drive 13 and the detection result related to supplying the optical disc 11 to the optical disc drive 13 match, and based on the result of this evaluation detects an optical disc drive 13 operating error.

A media processing device, control method therefor, and associated program prevent a drop in the throughput of a media production process due to cleaning the print head. A publisher has a media drive, a transportation unit that conveys a recording medium according to a transportation command received from a host, and a printer that discharges ink from the nozzles of a print head to print on the label side of the recording medium. The printer also applies a cleaning process to the print head according to an internal signal that is generated when the transportation command or a data write command is received from a host. The cleaning process is executed while the media is conveyed.

A media processing device, control method therefor, and program prevent a drop in the throughput of a media production process due to cleaning the print head. A publisher 1 has a media drive 41, a printer 11 that discharges ink from the nozzles of a print head and prints on the label side of a recording medium and applies a cleaning process to the print head, and a media transportation mechanism 31 for conveying media to the media drive 41 and printer 11. A control method for the publisher 1 has a receiving step S12 wherein the printer 11 receives an internal signal that is a signal other than a print command and a cleaning command and is sent and received within the publisher 1, and a cleaning step S17 of executing a cleaning process parallel to a media transportation process or a data writing process in response to the internal signal.

A media processing system that produces discs with assured quality suited to long-term data storage. A data write unit writes data on a recording surface of a disc. A label print unit prints on the label side of the disc. An error rate measurement unit measures the error rate of the disc D after writing data is completed. An error rate evaluation unit determines if the media error rate measured by the error rate measurement unit is less than or equal to a preset threshold value. When the error rate evaluation unit determines that the media error rate is less than or equal to the threshold value, the label print unit prints a label image on the label side.

This invention is directed to a method and system of managing the processing and removal of media such as CD's and DVD's through a media processing device having a management database and a storage unit for storing processed media. The media processing system comprises an administrator PC, a plurality of user PCs, and a disc publisher interconnected through a LAN. The media processing device has a server function which writes to recordable media for forming processed media using media production data generated from media production commands from the user PCs. A user or system administrator can remove processed media from the media storage unit by entering user or system administrator authentication data into the system. If the system administrator removes all processed media from the media storage unit an e-mail message is sent to each user linked through the management database to the media processed by such user.

A media processing system enables producing a copy of media based on the state of media deterioration. An error rate measurement unit measures the error rate of recorded media after specific data is written to the media; an error rate evaluation unit determines if the media error rate measured by the error rate measurement unit is less than or equal to a preset threshold value; and a data recording unit that, when the error rate evaluation unit determines the error rate exceeds the specific threshold value, writes specific data recorded to the recorded media to other unused media.
摘要:
A media processor such as a CD publisher functions as a media library. The CD publisher takes out media from a media storage unit, sets the media in a media drive, performs writing of data, and stores the media in a writing-completed media storage unit if there is a data writing request and/or an additional data writing request. The publisher takes out the target media from the media storage unit on the basis of details stored in the storage unit and sets the media in the media drive if there is a data reference request and a data output request. Data of the media can be referenced from the outside, and media in which data writing has been completed can be used as a media library. When final additional writing is completed or there is a discharge command of the media, printing of a label related to data written on a label surface of the media is collectively performed, and then the media is discharged.

The user of an electronic device can easily know when a replaceable unit needs replacing (the service life). A host computer 100 connected to a media processing device 1 (electronic device) executes a step (S4) of acquiring maintenance counter information that is stored in the media processing device 1, steps (S5, S7) of calculating based on the acquired maintenance counter information A=(the total open/close count of the media tray of the media drive 41 (51))/(an assured media tray open/close count), B=(the cumulative CD writing time of the media drive 41 (51)/(the assured CD writing time), and C=(the cumulative DVD writing time) of the media drive 41 (51)/(the assured DVD writing time), and steps (S6, S8) of displaying the maximum value of values A, B, and C as the expected service life of the media drive 41 (51) on a display unit.
