3. About HDD Format
3.1. Overview
HDDs under the Adobe PostScript system must be PS-formatted (PostScript-formatted) for
use. The original HDDs installed in the PS-7000, HDDs from Upgrade Kit, and service
part HDDs are all PS-formatted before shipment to customers. There is no need for PS-
format after installing the HDD from Upgrade Kit or after replacing the HDD for service.
However, it may be necessary to perform PS-format if the HDD is not recognized for some reasons. In
those cases, before formatting, please notify customers that all the data contained in the HDD will be lost
by format.
3.2. Procedures
(1) Perform the DIAG program and confirm that no errors are detected. Be sure to set all the DIP
switches to OFF after the end of DIAG program.
(2) With a parallel cable, connect the PS-7000 to the DOS-compatible host computer.
(3) Power on the PS-7000 and host computer.
(4) Insert the PS Format floppy disk into the host computer.
(5) Run the appropriate batch file for PS-format, from among those listed below.
-For Master HDD only
: FORMATM.BAT
-For Slave HDD only
: FORMATS.BAT
-For both Master and Slave HDDs
: FORMAT.BAT
(6) While the batch file is being performed, three LEDs for HDD, Receiving, and Processing are
flashing. Completion of PS-formatting will be notified by turning off the HDD LED. It will take
about 10 to 20 seconds before the end of formatting.
(7) Connect the PS-7000 to the BJ-W7000 printer and perform Test Print. Confirm that the target (PS-
formatted) HDD amount is 2067MB and its available capacity is 1851MB.
