Initializing the hard disk

If you attach a hard disk to the printer to store fonts, you must initialize it (if
it is not already in Apple HFS format) before you can use it. You can do so by
following the steps below.

1

From the Program Manager, open the Control Panel.

2

Double-click the Printers icon to display the Printers dialog box.

3

If it’s not already selected, select the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS from the Installed

Printers list.

4

Click Setup.

The Setup dialog box appears.

Note: You can also open the Setup dialog box from within many Windows
programs. Check your program documentation to see if you can change your
printer setup from within your program.

5

Click the Fonts tab.

6

Click Font Downloader.

The Font Downloader dialog box appears.

7

Click Other.

A dialog box opens.

8

Click the Format Device button, then click OK.

9

Select the disk name and click OK.

Initializing the hard disk takes a few minutes. The Ready/In Use light on the
printer blinks until initialization is complete.

WARNING

Initializing the hard disk erases all the data on it. Initialize the

hard disk only if you’re sure it’s new or if it’s OK to erase it.
