Enabling and disabling SysStart Job execution
You may load a startup (Sys/Start) file onto an external hard disk. The
Sys/Start job file is similar to an init file: When you turn on the printer, the
file executes — providing that Sys/Start has been enabled through a control
file downloaded to the printer.
With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
If the Sys/Start file contains an error, the printer ignores the remainder of
the file and may not start up as expected.
You can also control SysStart Job execution from the printer’s front panel Printer
Defaults menu, using the SCSI Startup Mode option.
