Formatting a Hard Disk

You have two ways of formatting a hard disk:

n

PS Executive Series Utilities

n

Printer configuration menu

Before you can use a formatted hard disk, you must increase the size
of the disk cache. The way you do this depends on how much mem-
ory your printer has.

n

If your printer has 8 MB of RAM, enable disk swapping
(Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap menu), which
automatically increases the disk cache size. See “Enable Disk
Swap” in chapter 1, “Printer Configuration,” for more information.

n

If your printer has more than 8 MB of RAM, increase the disk
cache size (Administration/Memory/K Mem Disk Cache menu) to
256 KB. See “Disk Cache Memory” in chapter 1, “Printer Configu-
ration,” for more information.

After you have increased the disk cache size, you must restart the
printer and print a status page to ensure that the disk cache size has
been increased. (Notice that

VM remaining

memory has also been

automatically increased.)

Formatting with PS Executive Series Utilities

The PS Executive Series Utilities offer formatting options for both
Macintosh and PC setups. See the on-line documentation for details
