2-42 Installation bb _________________________________________
To connect an external SCSI disk to your printer
1. Make sure the printer and the disk are turned off.
2. If the disk is not internally terminated, install the external SCSI
terminator following the instructions included with the hard
disk.
3. Plug the 25-pin male connector of the SCSI cable into the
printer’s SCSI port and the 50-pin connector into the
computer’s SCSI port following the instructions included with
the hard disk.
4. Turn on the SCSI disk first and wait a few seconds for it to spin
up. Then, turn on the printer. This ensures that the printer will
recognize the SCSI disk. The ID numbers and sizes of the SCSI
disks attached to the printer are listed on the start-up page.
5. Check the start-up page or print a test page to be sure the SCSI
disk is listed with the proper device number and disk size.
Initializing a Hard Disk
A hard disk must be initialized before it can be used to store
downloaded fonts or to set up a spooling queue.
Caution: Initializing a disk erases all information stored on it.
Make sure you select the correct printer and use the
correct PostScript file when initializing a hard disk.
The XANTÉ Utilities CD-ROM contains several PostScript files
(InitdskX.ps) that can be downloaded to initialize your printer’s hard
disk(s):
• The numbered files initialize the SCSI disk with the same device
number (Initdsk1.ps intializes SCSI disk #1, Initdsk2.ps
initializes SCSI disk #2, etc.) on the printer.
• The Initdska.ps and Initdskb.ps files initialize the IDE drive
designated as A or B, respectively, on the printer.
• The Initdsks.ps file initializes all SCSI and IDE drives attached
to the printer.
