▲Caution: If you connect to this printer an external hard disk you previously used with an earlier QMS Crown printer (such as a QMS 860, 860 Plus, 1700, 1725, 1725SLS, 2000, 2025, 3200, 3225, 3825, 4525, ColorScript 210/230, Laser 1000, or magicolor Laser Printer), this QMS 1660 software release will automatically reorganize the files on the hard disk when the printer is turned back on again. Once this reorganization is done, the files on the hard disk can no longer be accessed if the hard disk is attached to an earlier QMS Crown printer again.

This reorganization process takes time. If, when you first turn the printer on after attaching a previously used hard disk, it does not come on line immediately, be patient. Interrupting the reorganization process could cause all files on the hard disk to be lost.

Turning on an External Hard Disk

For the printer to recognize one or more external hard disks, each hard disk must be turned on before you turn on the printer.

If the printer recognizes the disk(s)

n DISK ONLINE prints on the printer start-up page (if it’s enabled).

n %%diskx% (where x is 0-6 for any external SCSI hard disks, depending on the SCSI ID set on the back of the disk, and 7 for an internal IDE hard disk) prints on the start-up page (if it’s enabled).

n DISK ONLINE prints on the standard status page or on the first page of the advance status page.

The Disk Operations Menu

The Administration/Disk Operations menu contains all of the options you need to format a hard disk, as well as to install optional fonts on and remove them from a hard disk.
