Formatting a Hard Disk

You have two ways of formatting a hard disk:

nPS Executive Series Utilities

nPrinter configuration menu

Caution: DO NOT under any circumstances format a Kanji hard disk—it is pre-formatted at the factory with QMS Kanji fonts. Reformatting this disk erases all data, fonts, and files.

If a Kanji hard disk is reformatted or if data is modified so that it can’t be recognized by the printer, you must return the disk to QMS for servicing. This is not covered by your warranty.

Using PS Executive Series Utilities

The PS Executive Series Utilities offer formatting options for both Macintosh and PC setups. See the on-line documentation for details on formatting disks.
