Patent ID: 7505377

Claim:
A digital copying machine comprising, a personal computer connected to a UBS port hub in a digital copying machine for transmitting data from the computer, a robotic arm for picking up and dropping disks in desired locations, a control card in the robotic arm, the robotic arm connected to the hub by a USB cable, the robotic arm has a stepper motor driven by the computer using variable speed pulsing to eliminate resonant frequencies which create noise and vibrations in the robotic arm and the digital copying machine, a writer having a retractable disk tray for accepting disks placed therein by the robotic arm, retracting the disk into the writer, writing to the disk, and extending the retractable disk tray for disk pick up by the robotic arm, the writer connected to the hub by a control USB cable and a data USB cable, a printer having a retractable disk tray for accepting disks placed therein by the robotic arm, retracting the disk into the printer and printing on the disk, and extending the retractable disk tray for disk pick up by the robotic arm, the printer connected to the hub by a USB cable with signals sent by ATAPI, software on the computer for selecting what is to be written on the disc, and sending the data to the writer for writing on the disc, software on the computer for selecting what is to be printed on the disc, and sending the data to the printer for printing on the disc, software on the computer for selecting the number of discs to produce and controlling the robotic arm, the printer and the writer for producing the desired number of copies.
