Enabling and disabling SysStart Job execution
■You may load a startup (Sys/Start) file onto an external hard disk. The Sys/Start job file is similar to an init file: When you turn on the printer, the file executes — providing that Sys/Start has been enabled through a control file downloaded to the printer.
■With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
If the Sys/Start file contains an error, the printer ignores the remainder of the file and may not start up as expected.
You can also control SysStart Job execution from the printer’s front panel Printer Defaults menu, using the SCSI Startup Mode option.
