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.
1.
Open any DOS editor, such as Edlin or DOS Edit (see your
DOS or the editor documentation for details).
2.
Create a new file by typing the following:
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin
(%disk1%) 0 1 devformat
end
^D
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.
3.
Save the file as INITDSK.PS.
