Media treatment device

Abstract

A media treatment device for an optical disc publisher, capable of efficiently disposing media such as defective CDs without using manpower. To produce a medium by an optical disc publisher (5), a blank medium (14) received in a feeding side stacker (13) is taken out by a media conveyance mechanism (12) and conveyed to a media drive (15), and predetermined data are written on the medium. A printing surface of the medium where the data are normally written is subjected to printing by a label printer (19). The medium after the production is stored in a storage side stacker (22). The recording surface of a defective medium having a write failure is mechanically destroyed by a media disposal mechanism (23) while the medium is moved on a medium tray (71) of the printer (19), thereby the data are not readable. The medium after the above process is discharged from a media discharge opening (25).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a media processing device for disc publishers such as CD / DVD publishers and disc duplicators, and more particularly to a media processing device suitable for preventing data leakage when writing and duplicating confidential data. Background technique [0002] Disc publishers such as CD / DVD publishers generally provide a built-in CD drive with a blank CD or the like stored in a blank media stacker, and write predetermined data on the CD. Then, it is configured such that a label or the like is printed on the CD printing surface by a built-in printing machine and distributed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses such a publisher. [0003] Here, for example, when making a CD-R, etc., when the data written to the CD-R is defective due to the CD drive, or when the label printing position is misaligned when the label is printed on the printed surface of the CD-R surface, etc. In the case of defective printing, such defec...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] In the prior art, when a CD produced by a CD publisher is defective, the operator generally throws the defective CD into a shredder or shredder and discards it.

However, when discarding defective CDs manually, there is a high risk of leakage of confidential data

Manually discarding defective CDs also has the risk of inefficiency and the possibility of mistaken CDs that should be discarded

In the case of duplicating multiple CDs, there are also problems such as inability to properly manage the number of CDs that are disposed of as discarded, and a high risk of data leakage.
