Expanding Your Printing System B

Adding a hard disk for font storage (Phaser 220i only)

With the Phaser 220i, you can connect one or more Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) external hard disks to the printer and use them for additional font storage. Once you download a font to the external disk, the font remains there until you remove it.

Compatible hard disks

The Phaser 220i can use most SCSI hard disks that support the full SCSI command set. Also, most SCSI hard disks that work with an Apple LaserWriter will work with the Phaser 220i. Contact your computer or printer dealer for information.

Requirements for adding a hard disk

To connect an external disk you need these items:

A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a 50-pin connector.

One SCSI cable terminator, unless your disk has an internal terminator.

The printer can support up to seven external disks connected at one time.

When connecting a hard disk to the printer, follow these guidelines:

You must turn on the disk(s) before you turn on the printer. Wait at least one minute after turning on the disk(s) before turning on the printer.

The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a terminator at the other end.

With multiple disks, each disk must have a unique SCSI ID number. Do not turn on the printer or disk until each disk has a unique number.

With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
