any external hard disks, and then turn on the printer.
» Note: For the printer to recognize external hard disks, each hard

Caution:
DO NOT under any circumstances format a Kanji hard
disk—it is pre-formatted at the factory with QMS Kanji fonts.
Reformatting this disk erases all data, fonts, and files.
If a Kanji hard disk is reformatted or if data is modified so that it
can’t be recognized by the printer, you must return the disk to
QMS for servicing. This is not covered by your warranty.
11 Ensure that the printer recognizes the disk(s).
If the printer recognizes the disk(s)
n
DISK ONLINE
prints on the printer start-up page (if it’s
enabled).
n
DISK ONLINE
prints on the standard status page or on the
first page of the advance status page.
If the printer doesn’t recognize the disk(s), see chapter 6, “Trou-
bleshooting,” in the
Operation manual.
Removing an IDE-SCSI Board
Use the following instructions if you ever need to remove an IDE-
SCSI board from the printer (for example, if you decide to install an

installed).
