Xerox 340 User Manual

You can connect one or more Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) 
external hard disks to the printer for additional font storage.  When you 
download a font to an external disk, the font remains there until you remove 
it.  In general, any disk that works with a LaserWriter NTX works with 
this printer.

To connect an external disk, you need these items:

■

A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk.  The printer uses a SCSI-2, 
50-pin connector.  See “Interface cables and adapters” on page 5-3 
if you need a 50-pin connector.

■

One SCSI cable terminator, unless one of your disks has an 
internal terminator.

The printer can support up to seven external disks.  When connecting a hard 
disk to the printer, follow these guidelines:

■

You must turn on the disk(s) before you turn on the printer.  Wait at 
least one minute after turning on the disk(s) before turning on the 
printer.

■

The printer must always be at one end of the chain with a 
terminator at the other end (or a terminated device such as the 
Phaser Copystation).

■

With multiple disks, each disk must have a unique SCSI ID 
number.  Do not turn on the printer or disk until each disk has a 
unique number.

■

With multiple disks, only one disk can contain a Sys/Start file.
