Abstract: An in-line writing and marking system, which includes a dispenser for dispensing a disk from a stack of disks, and at least one duplication system which receives the disk from the dispenser and writes data onto the disk. A conveyor belt assembly receives the disk from the duplication system and conveys the disk from a first position to a second position. A marking device located between the first position and the second position and marks indicia on the disk. The system also includes a pad located between a first conveyor surface and a second conveyor surface, wherein the pad is configured to catch overspray from the marking device.
