Phaser 300X


Initializing a formatted SCSI hard disk
Some hard disks are formatted at the factory; check the documentation that came with your hard disk to see if the disk needs formatting.

If your SCSI hard disk is formatted, it only needs to be initialized. Use this procedure to initialize the hard disk.

If your SCSI hard disk is not formatted, refer to "Formatting a SCSI hard disk" for formatting and initializing instructions.

Use the following files for your computer type:
Macintosh file name PC file name
Initialize Printer Disks and
LaserWriter Utility
INITDISK.PS

  1. Install the utility files from the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM; refer to "Installing the printer's software" for instructions.
  2. Select the appropriate printer in the Chooser.
  3. Locate the LaserWriter Utility in the PhaserTools folder on your hard disk, and double-click its icon to start the application.
  4. Choose Download PostScript File from the Utilities menu.
