Information will appear on both of these pages regarding the hard disk. If the disk has not
been initialized, the status information will not reflect the additional space. (See the
Control Panel section on this CD-ROM for information about printing the Configuration

Initializing an external hard disk
Each hard disk connected to the printer must be specifically initialized for storing fonts.
Once the hard disk has been initialized for font storage it cannot be used for any other
purpose without first reinitializing it with specific formatting software. Refer to the docu-
mentation included with the hard disk.
■ Initializing hard disks from a Macintosh
To initialize the hard disk from a Macintosh, use the LaserWriter Utility included with the
Elite 12ppm software. The LaserWriter Utility is located in the Elite™ 12ppm Folder that
was copied onto your startup disk during the initial installation.
WARNING: If you initialize your SCSI hard disk, you will lose any data that is currently
on that hard disk.
To initialize external hard disks:
1. Make sure the Elite 12ppm is selected in the Chooser.
2. Double-click the LaserWriter Utility icon.
A dialog message appears, indicating that the LaserWriter Utility is checking the character-
istics of the printer. Then, the LaserWriter Utility menu bar appears.
3. Choose Initialize Printer’s Disk from the File menu.
