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

Click on the following topics for more information:

• Initializing from a Macintosh

• Initializing from PCs and workstations

1. See Installing the Macintosh utility files to install the printer's software.

2. Locate the Apple Printer Utility in the PhaserTools folder on your hard disk, and double-click its icon to start the application.

3. In the Printer Selector dialog box, make the following selections:
   1. Under AppleTalk Zones, select your printer's zone location.

   2. Under Printers, select your Phaser 360 printer.

   3. Click Open Printer.

      A dialog box appears with the selected zone and printer name at the top.

4. From the File menu, select Send PostScript File. The Select the PostScript files to download dialog box appears.

5. Select the PhaserTools folder.

6. Select the Initialize Printer Disks file and click Add.

7. Click Send to download the file to the printer.

8. At the prompt Save PostScript output as you are asked for a file name for saving printer output. Use the default name given in the edit box or type in a new name. (Printer output includes status messages generated by the printer reporting such conditions as out of paper.)
