Printer controller overview

•CD-ROM:The CD-ROM drive, located in the processor above the diskette drive, is a high-density, read-only, optical laser storage device used for loading the software, fonts and other files.

•Cartridge tape drive: The Sun Ultra 60 offers an optional 8 GB, 4 mm external SCSI cartridge tape drive. Unlike the diskette and CD drives, this tape drive is not an input source for print jobs or for any other data or application. It provides the service representative with another means of loading system maintenance files or saving diagnostic information.

You can use the keyboard to make selections, and to enter commands that control functions such as requesting sample prints, or shutting down the system.

Mouse Use the mouse to select, move, or resize windows.
