In a nutshell, the duplicator works by taking a source disc, copying it to the PC's hard drive and then sending that data along with a label image file to the Bravo II for duplication and printing. The system, once initiated, will run unassisted and create a total of 25-50 copied and printed discs.

It does this through the use of a precision robotic disc transporter system and integrated 4800x1200 dpi inkjet printer. The robotic disc arm checks the recorder for a disc by attempting to pick it from the tray. Next, it picks a disc from the Input bin. After placing it in the Recorder tray, the disc is burned, ejected and dropped into the Printer tray about 3.5 minutes later. Once the disc is printed, it is picked up again by the robotic arm and deposited in the Output bin. What's nice is that while the aforementioned printing phase is occurring, the Bravo II is already loading a new disc into the Recorder tray to optimize the system's use of time.
