The Disk Operations

Submenu

The options in the Disk Operations submenu allow you to perform file 
operations using the printer’s internal hard disk and optional external 
hard disks. 

»

Note: Always turn on all external hard disks before turning on the

printer.

The QMS 3825/3225/2025 Print System supports an internal hard 
disk and up to six optional external hard disks. These disks increase 
the job spooling capacity of the printer and provide ample space for 
optional emulations, permanent downloading of fonts, or user file 
storage. This section explains how to use the Disk Operations sub-
menu (shown below) to install and remove optional fonts and emula-
tions), back up or restore disk files, and format a new disk.

Identifying Hard Disks

The hard disks are identified by their device numbers. Your printer 
has an internal hard disk with a device number of DSK6. If optional
