USING THE OPTIONS
4-8
HARD DISK OPTION
You can add a Hard Disk option to allow for permanent soft font and to enable
some printing features. The Hard Disk is required for the following features.
❐ Disk Based Collation
❐ Permanent PostScript ® soft font storage
Installation
Use the instructions that come with the Hard Disk to install it.
Partitioning
The Hard Disk is partitioned as follows:
❐ Permanent storage - one half of the disk capacity is allocated for font data,
when the PostScript ® option is installed. This reduces the available storage
area for Disk Based Collation.
❐ Temporary storage - one half of the disk capacity is allocated to Disk
Based Collation, when the PostScript ® option is installed. If the PostScript ®
option is not installed, temporary storage capacity occupies the full disk.
Disk Based Collation
This feature makes it easy to separate your printed output into complete sets,
and reduces printing time. You use the Disk Based Collation feature to print
multiple copy job in collated sets.
Normally, all copies of a single page are printed at the same time. For example,
when you specify five copies of a four-page job, five copies of page 1 are printed,
then five copies of page 2 are printed, and so forth. If you select Collation using
your application, the application sends the entire document to the printer five
times.
When you use the Disk Based Collation feature, your application sends the
entire document to the printer once. The printer images each page of the
document and stores the page images on the Hard Disk. The printer then
retrieves and prints pages 1 through the last page of the first set, pages 1
