Abstract: The digital copying machine has a printer, a writer and optionally a disk destruction devise connected to a personal computer by a USB port cable. The computer can select files from its hard drive and place them in a folder for writing on a disk in the digital copying machine. The personal computer can also make copies of a disk in its disk drive or make copies of portions of the disk in its disk drive and add files from the computer hard drive or from memory. The digital copying machine can print on the disks to identify them. The digital copying machine has a robotic arm for removing disks from a stack and placing them in the writer, the printer or on a finished stack. Software in the personal computer can be programmed for the number of copies to be made and what is printed on the disks.

Abstract: The disk feeder removes disks from the bottom of a stack of disks by pushing them one at a time with a ram traveling back and forth under a tower holding the stack of disks. The tower has a gap at the base for allowing one disk at a time to be pushed out by the ram. The tower may be tilted to provide for a stack of disks, which rest partly on a wall of the tower to reduce the weight of the stack on the bottom disk. The workstation fed by the disk feeder can be a disk destroyer, a printer, a writer or any other disk processing device. Combinations of disk feeders and workstations can produce batches of copies of disks with labels printed on them. The disk feeder provides a low cost reliable way to feed disks to work stations.
