If you are attching more than one hard disk to the printer, we recommend that
you always use the “Initialize some disks” option, and that you initialize each
hard disk separately before chaining them together.
4. Click the button labeled Initialize some disks .
5. Click the box next to the SCSI ID of the first hard disk to be initial-
ized.
An X appears in the box and the Initialize button becomes active.
6. Click Initialize .
A dialog appears asking if you really want to initialize this hard disk. Click
OK to proceed, or click Cancel. A progress status box appears.
7. Click OK .
If the initialization fails, repeat the initialization steps. If the initialization
was successful, repeat the steps for each additional hard disk.
8. Use the LaserWriter Utility to download fonts to the hard disk(s). See
“Downloading fonts from the Macintosh” on page 5-6 for more informa-
tion.
Initializing hard disks from an IBM PC or compatible
To initialize an external hard disk connected to the Elite XL using an IBM PC
or compatible, use the INITDISK.PS file provided on the Elite XL Software and
Documentation CD-ROM. When sent to the printer, this file will initialize any
uninitialized hard disks connected to the printer.
For example, if the printer is connected to the first parallel port,
Type: copy /b d:\initdisk.ps lpt1:
If the printer is connected to the first serial port,
Type: copy /b d:\initdisk.ps com1:
