Hard Drive/Flash Memory Considerations
If you install the optional hard drive in the printer, it will
significantly increase the amount of memory available for
processing jobs and storing downloaded information
(such as fonts, forms, overlays (macros) and secure jobs).
The hard disk is used for the following:
• Support of the PostScript file system.
• Support of the PJL/PCL file system.
• Receiving raw (i.e., unprocessed) data for secure jobs,
proof jobs, and collated copy jobs.
• Downloading fonts, forms, and overlays.
Disk Initialization The disk is preformatted and requires no initialization.
The disk may be returned to its initial state, with no
loaded fonts, overlays or secure jobs, by selecting the Init
Disk item from the Reset Menu.
Flash Initialization Flash memory requires formatting before the first use.
Formatting may be done by selecting the Flash Format
item from the Reset Menu.
