Downloading an Emulation

Optional emulations, such as LN03 and QUIC II, are available as
PostScript files on PC floppy disks. This section describes how to
download an optional emulation from a floppy disk to the printer’s
hard disk.

»

Note:

At least one hard disk (internal or external) must be installed on

the printer before you can download an emulation. If more than one
hard disk is available, the emulation automatically installs itself on the
disk with the most free storage space.

Once an emulation is downloaded, the only way to remove it is to
reformat the hard disk (Administration/Disk Operations/Format Disk
menu or PS Executive Series Utilities).
