Abstract

An autoload disk copier system and disk printer transport system for recordable disks, the copier system having a copier unit with a housing containing a disk drive with an extendable disk tray, a disk carrier for supporting a stack of disks over the tray, a disk separator mechanism for selectively separating a disk from the stack displacing it to a tray, a disk retrieve mechanism for retrieving a disk from the tray and depositing it in a collector for good and bad disks, and, an electronic control means for controlling the sequence of operations of loading, disk read/write, unloading and depositing disks during the automatic process of recording data on recordable disks. The disk printer transport system combines a disk retrieve mechanism and electronic control means similar to that used in the autoload disk copier system with a retractable platform, a second disk retrieve mechanism, and a disk printer, the first disk retrieve mechanism for retrieving the disk after the completion of the copy operation and depositing the disk on the retractable platform for transport to the second disk retrieve mechanism, the second disk retrieve mechanism transporting the disk from the retractable platform to the disk printer for printing.
