Backing Up the Hard Disk
Like any hard disk, your printer hard disks should be backed up regu-
larly. Use the Backup Hard Disk selection from the Disk Operations
submenu to perform a full backup (all files stored on the hard disk) or
an incremental backup (only files dated after the last previous
backup). Refer to the instructions in Chapter 2, “Daily Operations” of
your user’s guide for instructions on using the printer control panel.
» Note: The printer’s floppy disk drive requires a 3.5" 1.44 MB disk.
1 Before backing up a hard disk, the printer should be on, and
IDLE
should display in the message window.
2 Pull the control panel assembly away from the front of the
printer.
The floppy disk is located inside the printer. (See the illustration in
the “Installing Optional Fonts and Emulations” section, earlier in
this chapter.)
3 Use the control panel to return to the Disk Operations sub-
menu.
4 Press the Select key; then press the Next key until

HARD DISK
displays on the bottom line of the message win-
dow.
5 Press the Select key again; then press the Next key until the
address of the hard disk to be backed up displays on the
bottom line of the message window.
