BExpanding Your Printing System

Initialization -- Unless the disk is already formatted for operation with a PostScript printer, you have to initialize (format) the disk after connecting it to the printer. The Phaser 220 diskettes contain utilities to help you initialize the disk and download fonts to it. For instructions on how to use the utilities, refer to the manual Phaser 220 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.

SCSI ID number -- The printer's SCSI number is 7. Valid ID numbers for the external disk are 0 through 6.

Termination -- The Phaser 220i has an internal terminator.

Note If the Sys/Start file contains an error, the printer ignores the remainder of the file and may not start up as you expect it to.

Start-up file -- You may load a start-up file called Sys/Start onto your external disk. You can use the Sys/Start file to customize printer operation (for example, set a port's default language or load fonts into the printer's memory).

When you turn on the printer, it executes that file if the printer's rear panel Switch 5 is in the down position. When Switch 5 is in the up position, the file does not execute.
