Storage
Options
download an optional emulation from the floppy disk to the printer’s hard disk.
»Note: At least one hard disk (internal or external) must be installed on the printer before you can download an emulation. If more than one hard disk is available, the emulation automatically installs itself on the disk with the most free storage space.
Once an emulation is downloaded, the only way to remove it is to reformat the hard disk (Administration/Disk Operations/Format Disk menu or PS Executive Series Utilities).
