Expanding Your Printing System
Adding a hard disk for font storage
With the Phaser 540, you can connect one or more Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) external hard disks to the printer and use them for
additional font storage. Once you download a font to the external disk, the
font remains there until you remove it.
Compatible hard disks
The Phaser 540 can use most SCSI hard disks that support the full SCSI
command set. Also, most SCSI hard disks that work with an Apple
LaserWriter will work with the Phaser 540. Contact your computer or
printer dealer for information.
Requirements for adding a hard disk
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.
■
One SCSI cable terminator, unless your disk has an internal
terminator.
The printer can support up to seven external disks connected at one time.
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.
