Chapter 3 Field Service
3-20
Although the printer system (VxWorks) acquires time information from the copier, the service DOS
has no way of communicating with the copier: it is necessary that you should enter the current date
and time.
Using DOS Commands
You can use the following types of commands:
•
Commands that check the file system of (field optional) hard disk. (chkdsk)
•
Commands that check the surface of the (field optional) hard disk. (chdd)
Checking the File System of the Hard Disk
Use a service DOS command chkdsk.
This command checks the files, directory structure, and FAT partition of the optional hard disk. The chkdsk
command can be used to search for damaged files if the main power has been interrupted or there has been
an error when writing files to the disk.
Operation Procedure
1.
Boot up DOS.
Refer to "Booting Up Service DOS".
2.
Enter the command and run chkdsk.
Enter "chkdsk d:" after the "A:\" prompt in the HyperTerminal window, and then press the Enter key.
[A:\] chkdsk d:
The chkdsk command runs and displays a result of the disk check.
Caution
Although you can enter commands for the service DOS much the same as for
MS-DOS, the system used by the print controller (VxWorks) handles files differ-
ently and entering commands without consideration for this may render the print
controller inoperable.
