Identifying External Hard Disks
The external hard disks are identified by their device numbers;
these numbers can range from DSK0 to DSK5 (fig. 8.28). The
internal disk in your printer is always DSK6. Device numbers of
external disks can be configured by the installer.
Formatting an External Hard Disk
You have two methods of formatting an external hard disk:
■
Formatting via the Control Panel
■ Formatting via PS Executive Series Utilities
CAUTION: Be extremely careful when formatting hard disks.
Only format DSK6, which contains the system software, if there is
a specific reason to do so. For example, you might reformat the
disk to clear up unexplained disk behavior or to avoid a service call.
If you want to format DSK6, use the procedure in “Formatting the
Internal Hard Disk” in this chapter. If you do format DSK6, you
will not be able to use the printer until you reload the system
software (provided on a with your printer). See “Installing Print
System Software and Fonts” later in this chapter for details.
