Expanding Your Printing System B

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.

You can order a 2.1 Gbyte external SCSI hard disk from Tektronix.

Order number is Z350DSK.

To connect an external disk you need these items:

■A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a high-density SCSI-II connector for connection to an external font storage hard disk. Standard SCSI-II cables are available from Tektronix; refer to “Interface cables and Ethernet adapters” on page 4.

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

The printer can support up to seven external disks. When connecting a hard disk to the printer, follow these guidelines:

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 300X diskettes contain utility files to help you initialize the disk and download fonts to it. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions on how to use the utility files.
