About USB Drives

Device Performance

USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices such as your new HP CD-Writer Plus

are so easy to disconnect and reconnect that you may want to use other

devices of this type. The information below can help you maintain the

CD-Writer’s performance when other USB devices are connected to your

computer.

Fast USB devices connected to your computer (such as the CD-Writer

Plus, scanners, printers and speakers) work well as long as they are used

one at a time. However, there is a drastic reduction in performance when

two or more of these devices are used simultaneously.

Typically, slow USB devices connected to your computer (such as mice,

keyboards, and joysticks) do not decrease the performance of other slow

USB devices. They can, however, affect the performance of fast devices

when a slow and a fast device are used simultaneously.

Maintaining the Data Flow to the Drive

The CD-Writer Plus requires a constant stream of information from the

computer in order to create CDs with the Easy CD Creator or CD Copier

software. If the stream of information is interrupted (called a buffer

underrun) the CD can be ruined.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE, CONNECT or TURN ON any other USB

device while creating a CD with Easy CD Creator or CD Copier

software.

The DirectCD software is not susceptible to buffer underruns. To

understand when to use the different software programs, refer to section

on making CDs that begins on page4.

2Using the Right Cable

Using the Right Cable

The USB cable shipped with the CD-Writer Plus is a high-quality cable.

Do not replace it with other cables or use cable extenders. Using lower

quality cables could adversely affect drive performance.

Choosing a Hub

A hub allows you to connect multiple USB devices to your computer. To

operate properly, the CD-Writer Plus requires a self-powered (also known

as active) hub. This type of hub ensures that all the devices on the hub

receive the necessary power.

Reconnecting the Drive

Once you have installed the drivers for the CD-Writer Plus you can

connect or disconnect the drive at any time. Windows will recognize the

device and load the drivers. It is not necessary to restart Windows to

reconnect your drive.

About Making CDs

When Should I Use CD-R (Recordable or

Write-Once) Discs?

Files copied to a CD-R disc are permanently recorded on the disc. The

space the files occupy on the disc cannot be used for anything else.

Use CD-R discs to:

■Share your CDs with users that have standard CD-ROM drives

■Make audio CDs

■Permanently save files

When Should I Use CD-RW (ReWritable)

Discs?

With CD-RW discs you can write, erase, and rewrite files easily from your

software applications or from the Windows Explorer. Since not all CD-

ROM drives can read CD-RW discs, these discs are better suited for use on

your own computer.

Use CD-RW discs to:

■Save work in progress such as presentations and documents

■Make weekly archives of files on your hard drive

■Transport files between the office and home if you have a CD-Writer

Plus at each location, or have an external CD-Writer Plus to use on

your computers

4How do I Make CDs That Can be Read on Other Computers?

How do I Make CDs That Can be Read on

Other Computers?

Use the Easy CD Creator (Data) software and CD-R discs when you want

to create CDs you can share with other users, for example if you want to

send the CD to your co-workers.

Virtually all CD-ROM drives and operating systems (Windows 95,

Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and DOS) can read CD-R discs

made with Easy CD Creator (Data).

To start the Easy CD Creator (Data) software insert a blank CD-R disc in

the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that

reads: Make a data CD that is the most compatible with other

CD-ROM drives.

When is the DirectCD Software Useful?

With DirectCD you can simply drag and drop files onto the CD-Writer

Plus icon to make CDs. Use DirectCD when you want to create data CDs

(not audio) to use on your own computer.

When you save to a disc within a software application or Windows

Explorer, Direct CD copies the file directly to the disc.

DirectCD allows you to organize CD-R discs when you eject them so they

can be read by most CD-ROM drives under Windows 95, Windows 98,

and Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later.

To prepare a disc for use with DirectCD software insert a blank disc in the

CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads:

Make a data CD the easiest way.

How do I Make Audio CDs?

Use Easy CD Creator (Audio) and CD-R discs to create audio CDs.

To start the Easy CD Creator (Audio) software insert a blank CD-R disc in

the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that

reads: Make a music CD.

Can I Avoid Swapping Audio CDs In and Out of the Drive? 5

Can I Avoid Swapping Audio CDs In and

Out of the Drive?

Making an audio CD may involve swapping CDs in and out of drives

many times. For example, if you make the CD using your CD-Writer Plus

as both the source and destination drive, you will need to swap CDs

every time a new track is copied to the CD-Writer Plus drive.

To minimize the number of times you swap CDs:

1. Copy the tracks to your hard drive using Easy CD Creator. This is

called pre-recording audio tracks to wave files.

Approximately 10 MB of space on the hard drive are required for each

minute of music.

2. Once all the tracks are on your hard drive, copy them to the CD using

Easy CD Creator.

The User’s Guide provides a step by step description of how to copy the

audio tracks to the hard drive and then on to a CD. Click Start on the

taskbar, point to Programs, HP CD-Writer Plus, Information, and

select User’s Guide. Select Making Music CDs and go to the section

called Pre-recording Audio Tracks to Wave Files. You can view this

information through your web browser.

Can I Use the New 80 Minute Audio CDs?

HP does not currently support the new 80 minute audio CDs even

though the HP CD-Writer Plus and the included software are capable of

using them. The manufacturing process for creating 80 minute CD-R

discs is extremely difficult and the resulting discs do not consistently

meet HP’s standards for reliability at the time of this printing.
