Hdd Control - Gestetner A294 Service Manual

2.13.3 HDD CONTROL

These models have two hard disks to store image data. This allows scanned
images to be stored to one hard disk while image data is printed from the other
hard disk. Because of this, printing speed does not drop if printing and scanning
are done at the same time.
⇒
When using the A295 it is necessary to use a hard disk with a faster rotation speed
in order to conform to the higher copy speed of the machine. The hard disks used
for both models are as follows:
⇒
A294 (85 CPM)
A295 (105 CPM)
There are two modes (selected with the 'Memory Allocation' UP mode) which
determine how the hard disks are shared between normal copy jobs and copy
server jobs. The initial setting is "Copier Priority" and the data for copy server jobs
is stored only on HDD 1 (this is the disk at the front side).
The following table shows the capacity of the hard disks used for each function.

When a Copy Job is Done
Basically, the scanned image is stored on the hard disk that has the largest
remaining capacity. (If the remaining capacity is the same, the image is stored in
HDD 1.) If one hard disk is already being used for printing or while transporting
image data from a hard disk to the CD-RW, the other hard disk is used to store
new data regardless of the remaining capacity.
Even if the selected hard disk becomes full, data storage continues using the other
hard disk. If both hard disks becomes full, data storage stops and a message is
displayed on the screen.
