I. Warning

1. The duplicator tasks mentioned in this user's manual are as following: Copy, Compare, Copy + Compare, Capacity Check, and the functions under Utility sub menu, such as Format FAT32, Format exFAT, Quick Erase, Full Erase and DOD Erase.
2. The Green LED flashes during the execution process of a task. After the task is done, the Green LED will stay solid if the process is successful, otherwise the Red LED will be on if the process is failed.
3. Press and hold ESC button during the execution process of a task will stop and exit the execution of the task.
4. DO NOT unplug HDD from the duplicator during the execution process of a task. It may cause damage to the duplicator system and media.
5. It is strongly recommended that the capacities of the source and target media are equal or similar.

II. Operation Overview

The duplicator will start to execute a task after the source and target devices have been inserted and the ENT button is pressed. The task will begin and end at the same time for all target devices. Any other target device plugged in during the process of a task will not be executed with the task.

a. Insert source media into the source channel and blank media into the target channels properly. The LCD display will show no source disk when source media is not plugged in yet, and show the number of target media inserted when source media plugged in.
b. The green LED will be on if the target device is plugged in properly.
c. Select the task from menu, and press ENT button to execute it.
d. During the execution process, the status of each target device can be checked by using the ▲ and ▼ buttons.
e. After the task is done, LCD display will show the number of successful and failed target(s), and execution time. Go to section 6.8 Show Result Time to set up the display of time.
f. If anyone target failed the process of task, LCD display will show the following

5.7. Secure Erase

The international authorized high standard Secure Erase function, it complies with standard of secure erase (NIST800-88). It overwrites every single track on the hard drive with "00". Even HPA/DCO or other data area which are not able to load, can be erased all together.

5.8. Change Disk Signatures

Duplicator generates the same disk signatures after copy which may cause computer unable to read the disk correctly when two disks with identical disk signatures are presented, or shut down the computer. This function allows to change disk signature.

Attention: it will cause error (data mismatch) if compare the disks after execution of this function.

5.12. System Update

This option allows user to update the firmware of duplicator when necessary. Please obtain the proper firmware file from manufacturer, and save the unzipped file under home folder on the flash device (DO NOT save the file under sub folder). Insert the flash device containing the firmware into the source port of duplicator and press ENT. It will update the system, reboot the duplicator after update, active and operate under the new firmware.

Only support FAT32 file system format.

6. Setup

6.1. Copy Area

This option allows to select the area on the source device to copy onto the target devices. You may select either “System And Files” to skip all the unoccupied area on the source device

Jasper II duplicator user guide

or "Whole Media". By default, the copy area is set up as System And Files.

System And Files

The duplicator first analyzes the file format of source device. You may copy only the system and files area to save overall copy time if the file format is FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS (Windows), EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 (Linux), and HFS/HFS+ (Mac). Otherwise, the duplicator will copy the entire source device content to the target devices including unoccupied space. For instance, the source device has 8GB capacity but with only 50MB of data in FAT32 file format. The duplicator will copy only the 50MB of data area to the target device, hence shortening overall copy time.

Whole Media

When selected, the duplicator copies the entire content on the source device, including both the data and empty spaces. This option is used when you have a source device with unknown file format. For instance a source device has 8GB capacity and 50MB of data with unknown file format, the duplicator will copy the whole 8GB of content to target device.

6.2. Smaller Target

If the capacity of the target device is smaller than the source device, the duplicator will partly copy or cannot copy. Cannot Copy is the default setting.

    A["Setup\n2. Smaller Target"] -->|ENT| B["Smaller Target\nPartly Copy"]
    B -->|Use ▲ or ▼ to select| C

6.3. Unknown Format

This option allows you to Copy or Skip unknown format. If option Skip is selected here, the unknown format from source will not be copied during copy process. Copy unknown format

is the default setting.

    B -->|Use ▲ or ▼ to select| C

6.5. HPA Set

HPA, Host Protected Area or Hidden Protected Area, is kept invisible space for booting area, recovery data or blocked bad-sector, etc. By creating HPA, it resets max sectors and keeps some space for HPA. It reduces the reported size of HDD.

There are 4 settings in this function. The HPA setting and data stored in HPA of source HDD will not be modified.

graph LR
    A["[Setup"]
5. HPA Set] -->|ENT| B["[HPA Set"]
Skip]
    B -->|Use ▲ or ▼ to select| C

Skip (default)

Copy data from source to target except data stored in HPA and keep the target HPA setting during Copy.

Clear Target HPA without Copy

Remove the target HPA setting only. No copying of any source data.

Set Target HPA without Copy

Replace the target HPA data with the source HPA data only. Other data are not copied.

Copy

Copy data from source to target including source data stored in HPA.

6.6. Display Mode

There are three display modes: Basic, Show Timer, and Expert. Basic Mode shows the copy progress in general; Show Timer Mode displays the time used for the task; Expert Mode shows the devices with highest copy speed and lowest copy speed and their copy progress respectively. By default it is Basic Mode.
