external hard disks are attached to the printer, you can configure their
device numbers in a range from DSK0 to DSK5.
» Note: When adding more than three external hard disks, you must
follow all cabling and termination recommendations of ANSI X3T9.2
Small Computer System Interface-2 precisely to ensure optimal
performance. Otherwise, the signal may deteriorate to such a degree
that disks farther down the chain are not accessible. We recommend
that from the first time you add an external hard disk, you follow the
SCSI specification instructions regarding cabling and termination.
Then it should never be necessary to recable earlier connections if you
add additional disks. To obtain a copy of the specification, contact
Global Engineering Documents at 1 (800) 854-7179.
If the internal hard disk is removed or an external hard disk is not
turned on, the printer does not reset non-volatile RAM to the factory
defaults.
Installing Optional Fonts and Emulations
Optional fonts and emulations for your QMS printer are supplied on
3.5" 1.44 MB disks. Installing optional fonts and emulations requires
copying the contents of the disks to the printer’s internal hard disk or
to an optional external hard disk, using the Install Option selection
from the Disk Operations submenu.
Optional fonts and emulations may be installed through the printer’s
floppy disk drive or from a PC through the printer’s parallel or serial
port. Which method you use depends on the font or emulation disks
you have. If your font or emulation disks are labeled
