I have a DVD duplicator with 1 read drive and 7 dup drives. All the drives Lite on 20x with lightscribe. My questions is if i insert a LS disk (already scribe) the way i need the others upside down so it will read the scribe part and put in 7 blank disk in the others will it duplicate the scribe on the other 7 exactly as the read disk. If not what do i need to make it work like that. I have burned many dvds through it and it works great just not the scribe part.

Since the Lightscribe label is a physical etching process (not a data process) copying a Lightscribe label would be an optical scanning process that cannot be done by present day optical read/write lasers that are used in optical drives.  Most of the multidrive duplicators I have seen use manufacturer proprietary software for Lightscribe labeling. (Create a digital file and "print" it onto the disc. An existing label on a disc could be scanned as a .jpg file and used as a background )  What brand and model # is your duplicator?
