HP Designjet T1300 ePrinter - Manual (Page 158)

If you use an external hard disk with one HP Designjet and then want to connect it to another:
◦ If the HP Designjet has already had an external hard disk installed, you must uninstall it from
the first HP Designjet and then install it on the HP Designjet you want to use.
◦ If the HP Designjet has no external hard disk installed, the installation process starts and the
contents of the external hard disk are deleted.
● The printer's USB device port is incompatible with the external hard disk. While the external hard
disk is connected, the USB device port is disabled, it is not recognized by your computer's plug &
play subsystem and you cannot send jobs from your computer to the USB port. However, the USB
host port still works, and you can print jobs from a USB flash drive.
If you require a point-to-point connection between your computer and printer, without network
infrastructure, please use a standard Ethernet cable and install the driver from the HP Start-up Kit
DVD in network mode.
If you later disconnect the external disk drive, and resume use of the internal disk drive, you will
be able to use the USB device port again.
● The external hard disk should not be removed while the printer is on. If you remove it, the front
panel displays the following error message (64:1:01): USB HDD accessory disconnected.
Please reconnect it and restart the printer.
If you turn on the printer while the external hard disk is not connected, the same message is
displayed.
● If the external hard disk is lost or broken, you must reconfigure the printer to use the internal hard
disk.
Turn on the printer. Wait until you see all of the fixed icons at the left and right of the front panel
displayed simultaneously. Then press three icons in the correct sequence: , then , then .
The front panel displays: Machine configured to use external hard disk. Do you want
to revert the configuration to internal hard disk? Press OK to continue.
Press OK.
The front panel displays: Machine reconfigured to use internal hard disk. Press OK to
reboot the machine.
Press OK. The printer restarts, and you can then use the printer with its internal hard drive.
