Note: The ZDISK SCSI hard disk available from Tektronix, and some hard disks from other vendors, are formatted and initialized at the factory and do not require this formatting procedure; check the documentation that came with your hard disk to see if the disk needs formatting. If your disk is already formatted but not initialized, continue with Initializing a formatted SCSI hard disk.

---

Caution: The following procedure erases all data from all SCSI hard disks connected to the printer. Disconnect from the printer any hard disk you do not want reformatted, for example, a disk containing fonts.

---

Caution: Once you start the formatting procedure, there is no way to cancel the formatting process.
