Adding a hard disk for font storage
You can connect one or more Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
external hard disks to the printer for additional font storage. When you
download a font to an external disk, the font remains there until you remove
it. In general, any disk that works with a LaserWriter NTX works with
this printer.
To connect an external disk, you need these items:
■ A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a SCSI-2,
50-pin connector. See “Interface cables and adapters” on page 5-3
if you need a 50-pin connector.
■ One SCSI cable terminator, unless one of your disks has an
internal terminator.
The printer can support up to seven external disks. When connecting a hard
disk to the printer, follow these guidelines:
■ You must turn on the disk(s) before you turn on the printer. Wait at
least one minute after turning on the disk(s) before turning on the
printer.
■ The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a
terminator at the other end (or a terminated device such as the
Phaser Copystation).
■ With multiple disks, each disk must have a unique SCSI ID
number. Do not turn on the printer or disk until each disk has a
unique number.
■ With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
