Initializing hard disks from a Macintosh
To initialize the hard disk from a Macintosh, use the LaserWriter Utility included
with your GCC printer's software. The LaserWriter Utility is located in the GCC
printer folder that was copied onto your startup disk during the initial installation.
WARNING: If you initialize your SCSI hard disk, you will lose any data that is
currently on that hard disk.
To initialize external hard disks:
1. Make sure your GCC printer is selected in the Chooser.
2. Double-click the LaserWriter Utility icon.
A dialog message appears, indicating that the LaserWriter Utility is checking the
characteristics of the printer. Then, the LaserWriter Utility menu bar appears.
3. Choose Initialize Printer's Disk from the File menu.
A dialog box appears with two options: "Initialize all disks" and "Initialize some
disks". If you click the button next to "Initialize all disks", the boxes next to the SCSI
ID numbers are dimmed (A). This option will initialize all hard disks attached to the
printer's SCSI chain. If you click the button next to "Initialize some disks", the check
boxes representing the SCSI ID numbers of any hard disks connected to your GCC
printer are highlighted: (B) shows an external hard disk at SCSI ID 4.
