If you are working in a PC environment, skip to "Initializing a Hard

Disk with the PC."

Initializing a Hard Disk with the Macintosh

You can initialize the hard disk in a Macintosh environment by

creating a PostScript file to initialize the disk, and then downloading

this file to the printer's external hard disk using the Adobe

Downloader in the XANTÉ Utilities.

Caution:

Make sure the printer is selected in the Chooser before

initializing a hard disk.

Use the following procedure to create the initialization file.

Note: Some XANTÉ Utilities versions have an Initialize disk.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

TeachText 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%) in step 3.

Open the TeachText program which came with your

Macintosh system.

Select New from the File menu.

Type the following initialization file.

serverdict begin 0 exitserver

statusdict begin

(%disk1%) 0 1 devformat

end

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

one, be sure to substitute the 1 in (%disk1%) with the

SCSI ID number of the disk you want to initialize.

Select Save from the File menu, and save this file as Initialize

Disk.ps on your host system.
