Disks,” later in this section, contains more information on external hard disks.

9Reconnect all interface cables and the power cord, turn on any external hard disks, and then turn on the printer.

»Note: For the printer to recognize external hard disks, each hard disk must be turned on before you turn on the printer.

10If you’ve just installed a new hard disk—but not a Kanji hard disk—format it.

Use the instructions given later in this section.

▲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.

11Ensure that the printer recognizes the disk(s). 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.

If the printer doesn’t recognize the disk(s), see chapter 6, “Trou- bleshooting,” in the Operation manual.
