Technical information

If you are not sure of the disk format, connect the hard disk to the printer as
described in “Connecting a Single External Hard Disk” next. Start the Apple
Printer Utility (see Appendix A for more information on the Apple Printer
Utility). If the hard disk is not listed in the Disks panel, then you must
initialize the hard disk.
Connecting a single external hard disk
1 Turn off the printer.
2Attach the SCSI system cable to the SCSI port on the printer.
3Attach the other end of the SCSI system cable to either SCSI port on the hard disk.
4If necessary, attach a cable terminator to the other SCSI port on the hard disk.
5 Turn on the hard disk.
6 Turn on the printer.
Increasing the printer RAM
Your printer comes with 16 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory
(RAM) soldered onto the controller board. You can increase the memory size
of the printer up to 48 MB to provide faster performance on complex
documents, documents containing many fonts, and duplex printing.
Adding RAM allows more fonts to be downloaded to the printer at one time;
provides more space to store the data needed for large or complex images;
increases the space available for font caching, or maintaining recently used
fonts in memory for faster access the next time they are needed; and enables
duplex printing.
IMPORTANT The instructions provided here explain how to install memory in
your printer yourself. If you wish, you can also contact an Apple-authorized
dealer to install more memory for a service fee.
