Phaser 360


Enabling and disabling SysStart Job execution
The Set SysStart Job (SYSTART.PS) file enables automatic execution of a file named SysStart (if one is found) on a hard disk connected to the printer's SCSI port, each time the printer is turned on or reset. The SysStart job is similar to an Init file; it executes automatically each time the printer is turned on.


Note: You can also control SysStart Job execution from the printer's front panel using the SCSI Startup Mode option in the Printer Defaults menu. See the printer's user manual for instructions on using the printer's front panel.


Note: The ZDISK SCSI hard disk comes with a Sys/Start job which sets printing parameters to optimize collation. The factory default setting for the Sys/Start job is disabled. To enable the Sys/Start job, download the Set SysStart Job (SYSTART.PS) to the printer.
