Caution
: If you connect to this printer an external hard disk you
previously used with an earlier QMS Crown printer (QMS 860, QMS
860 Plus, QMS-PS 1700, QMS 1725, QMS 1725 SLS, QMS-PS
2000, QMS 2025, QMS-PS 3200, QMS 3225, QMS 4525, QMS
ColorScript 210/230, QMS Laser 1000, or QMS magicolor Laser
Printer), this QMS 1060 Print System software release will
automatically reorganize the files on the hard disk when the printer is
turned back on again. (The printer release number is listed on both
the start-up and the status page.) Once this reorganization is done,
the files on the hard disk can no longer be accessed if the hard disk is
re-attached to an earlier QMS Crown printer again.
This reorganization process takes time. If, when you first turn the
printer on after attaching a previously used hard disk, it does not
come on line immediately, be patient. Interrupting the reorganization
process could cause all files on the hard disk to be lost.
