Phaser 540 Color Printer
Initialization
Unless the disk is already formatted for operation with a
PostScript printer, you have to initialize (format) the disk after connecting it
to the printer. The Phaser 540 diskettes contain utilities to help you initialize
the disk and download fonts to it. For instructions on how to use the
utilities, refer to the manual Phaser 540 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.
SCSI ID number
The printer’s SCSI number is 7. Valid
ID
numbers for the
external disk are 0 through 6.
Note
If you have a Phaser CopyStation connected to the printer, it must
be located at one end of the chain, with the printer at the other end
and the external disk(s) in the middle. The CopyStation uses two
SCSI ID addresses,
05 and 06; therefore, the external disk(s) can
use ID numbers
0 through 4.
Termination
The Phaser 540 has an internal terminator.
Note
If the Sys/Start file contains an error, the printer ignores the
remainder of the file and may not start up as you expect it to.
Startup file
You may load a startup file called Sys/Start onto your external
disk. You can use the Sys/Start file to customize printer operation (for
example, select a specific color correction or load fonts into the printer’s
memory).
