Formatting a SCSI hard disk connected to the printer

7-10
Phaser 220 Color Printers
Use this procedure to format a SCSI hard disk connected to a Phaser 220i
printer, then follow the instructions in the topic ÒInitializing a SCSI hard disk
connected to the printer.Ó Some hard disks are formatted at the factory and
do not require this formatting procedure; check the documentation that
came with your hard disk to see if the disk needs formatting.
Caution
This procedure erases all data from all SCSI hard disks
connected to the printer. Disconnect from the printer any hard
disk you do not want reformatted, for example, a disk
containing fonts.
This procedure formats all SCSI hard disks connected to the printer so the
disks are usable with the PostScript Level 2 Phaser 220i printer. The
formatting process erases all information already on the disk; be sure you
want the disk formatted before you use this procedure. If you have a disk
containing information you want to keep, such as fonts, turn off all devices,
then disconnect the disk from the printer before using this Þle to format
other disks.
The Phaser 220i can use most SCSI hard disks that support the full SCSI
command set. Also, most SCSI hard disk that works with an Apple
LaserWriter should work with a Phaser 220i.
Note For additional information on SCSI hard disks, request a
document catalog from HAL, the Tektronix automated fax system.

Use one of the following Þles depending on your computer type.

the formatting process.
