Initializing a Hard Disk with the PC

You can initialize the hard disk in a PC environment by creating the

following PostScript file and then downloading this file to the

printer's external hard disk using the downloader in the XANTÉ

Utilities.

Use the following procedure to create the initialization file.

Note: Some XANTÉ Utilities versions have an INITDSK.PS file.

If you have and use this file and have more than one external

hard disk attached to your printer, open the file in a DOS

editor and make sure the desired disk is specified. This

sample file initializes disk #1. To initialize another disk,

substitute the 1 in (%disk1%) with the SCSI ID of the disk

you want to initialize. For example, to initialize disk 4,

change (%disk1%) to (%disk4%) step 2.

Open any DOS editor, such as Edlin or DOS Edit (see your

DOS or the editor documentation for details).

Create a new file by typing the following:

serverdict begin 0 exitserver

statusdict begin

(%disk1%) 0 1 devformat

end

Note: If you are initializing a disk other than disk number

Save the file as INITDSK.PS.

the SCSI ID number of the disk you want to initialize.
