AutoEverest II and AutoPrism
The Everest III and the PrismPlus! are both available
as AutoPrinters. In the AutoPrinter configuration,
each printer is mounted on Rimage Producer series
robotics - providing extremely fast and reliable
operation. For ease of access to the bins and for
ease of access to the printer, AutoPrinters are
configured without covers or cabinets. |
|
| OVERVIEW |
| AutoPrinters come equipped with a 400-bin
carousel. This carousel has a 300 disc input capacity
with the remaining bin used for output. When the first
input bin is empty it becomes the second output bin,
and so on. In this manner, an AutoPrinter can print
up to 300 discs without a single operator intervention.
AutoPrinters come with Rimage's state of the art Producer
series robotics. These robotics are driven by a closed
loop servo motor system and a reinforced, toothed belt.
The picker rides on roller bearings and slide rails
and takes only 2 seconds per movement. The picker is
steel and will pick from a plane of 85- 95
Both AutoPrinters come with CD Designer, software to
create the artwork for your discs and to drive the printer.
CD Designer has a complete set of file import capabilities,
text creation capabilities, object creation tools, bar
code generation and more.
For optimum throughput, ease of use, and support that
is tops in the industry - Rimage AutoPrinters are the
clear choice.

AutoPrinter Specifications
For specifications on the Everest II or PrismPlus!
printer, please see the printer section.
Printer throughput specifications will always have a
few disclaimers. Here's ours :
1. Printer throughput is dependent on the size of the
files you are trying to print. If the files are so large
that the driving computer can not get them processed
as fast as the printer will print then file or image
processing becomes the bottleneck and the printer throughput
will not match the numbers below.
2. If the driving computer is slow, or overburdened,
or lacks sufficient free disc space then even if the
files to be printed are not overly large, the computer
will not be able to process and ship the files as fast
as the printer can print them and the throughput will
not match the numbers below.

Someone with good math skills and attention to detail
is bound to ask this question - so here is the question
and the answer :
"If the Everest II printer prints
an image in one minute (normal mode) and if it then takes
several seconds to place a printed disc in the carousel,
several seconds to pick up a blank disc, and several seconds
to place it on the printer tray for the next image - how
can the AutoEverest II system print 60 discs per hour?"
Good question! As discussed on the Everest II page, the
printer prints the disc image to a clear retransfer ribbon
and then in the next step uses heat and pressure to bond
that image to the disc. In the AutoPrinter mode, as soon
as one disc is finished and the tray comes out, the Everest
II begins to print the next image to the retransfer ribbon.
So, while the robotics are moving things around the printer
is working on the next image - in effect - overlapping
tasks to increase system throughput. Thanks for asking!
