Adding a hard disk for font storage

You can connect one or more Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) external hard disks to the printer for additional font storage. When you download a font to an external disk, the font remains there until you remove it. In general, any disk that works with a LaserWriter NTX works with this printer.

To connect an external disk, you need these items:

■A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a SCSI-2, 50-pin connector. See “Interface cables and adapters” on page 5-3 if you need a 50-pin connector.

■One SCSI cable terminator, unless one of your disks has an internal terminator.

The printer can support up to seven external disks. 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 (or a terminated device such as the Phaser Copystation).

■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.
