Formatting a Hard Disk
You have two ways of formatting a hard disk:
PS Executive Series Utilities
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.
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.
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.)
The PS Executive Series Utilities offer formatting options for both
Macintosh and PC setups. See the on-line documentation for details
on formatting disks.
