Turning on an External Hard Disk
For the printer to recognize one or more external hard disks, each
hard disk must be turned on before you turn on the printer. If the
printer recognizes the disk(s)and the start-up page is enabled, check
to ensure that
DISK ONLINE
prints on that page. If the start-up page
is not enabled, print a status page and check to see if
DISK ONLINE
prints on that page. (See chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of this
manual, for information on how to print a status page.)
If
DISK ONLINE
does not print, see the Operation guide, chapter 6,
the “External and Internal Disk Problems” section, for more informa-
tion.
Properly installed disks will also appear in the “Options” section, of
the start-up page (if it’s enabled) and on the status page as
%%disk x %
(where
x
is a 7 for an internal IDE hard disk and 0 - 6 for
any external SCSI hard disks, depending on the SCSI ID set on the
back of the hard disk.
Configuring Hard Disks
To configure the hard disk(s) you may need to either Enable Disk
Swap or increase the Disk Cache size, dependent on your printer’s
memory. (See the following section that applies to your printer mem-
ory.
After the Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap or Administration/
Memory/Disk Cache menu settings are reconfigured and the printer is
restarted, you need to print a status page to check that the Disk
Cache size is increased. (Notice that
VM remaining
memory is
also increased.)
Standard Memory
If your printer has only the standard memory, then you need to enable
disk swapping. See chapter 4, Enable Disk Swap,” for information on
how to enable this option through the Administration/Memory/Enable
Disk Swap menu
