For Multiple Master Disc Duplication, batch printing can be setup to print a specific label file per disc. The process is very straight-forward, using one section of the Autoloader panel in DiscJuggler.

To properly assign an individual label file per master disc, all of the input will go into the right section of the "Good label" entry fields. For ease of use, we ask that you use either .BMP (Windows bitmap), .JPG, or .PRN (raw printer data) files as the labels.

.PRN files are a Windows file format that contains the raw printer data as determined and generated by a printing application. Creating these files is quite simple, and does not need to involve DiscJuggler. Use any disc label printing, imaging, or word processing too to generate a label. Once you have determined that the label is going to line up on the disc correctly, use the "Print to file" option of the application's print function. Most applications give you the option to specify the destination of these files, but in the case that the application does not, you can find these files in the main Windows operating system32 directory, inside a directory called "spool" (You can always do a search for files named "*.PRN" if they cannot be found manually).

Once all of the label files have been created, you need to name them with sequential numbers based on the order the autoloader will copy the master discs. The file name needs to contain a number, from 1 to 16,384.

Example:

If you have 4 master discs that need to be duplicated a different number of times for each disc, you would need files with these similar file names in a common directory:

label1.prn   label2.prn   label3.prn   label4.prn

To use this method, the right section of the "Good label" entry fields must contain the location of the label files, the %m variable (representing the master disc number), and the starting value to use.For the above example, the right section would contain:

D:\labels\label%m.prn|1|

When DiscJuggler finds a new master disc, it will change the "%m" text to the next sequential number, and uses the file available in the directory location for the labels of each blank disc behind the master disc. The process is repeated when a new master disc is found.
