FotoShow ™ Image Center Tips
Working with the Zip ® Drive
Here are a few tips you’ll want to keep in mind to care for your FotoShow ™ Digital Image
Center, disks, and digital film!
• Always make sure the power supply is connected to the FotoShow ™ Image Center
before inserting a Zip ® disk.
CAUTION! If a disk is inserted without the power supply connected, and power is
then applied, it could damage the drive. If you accidentally insert a disk when the
power supply is not connected, eject it using the emergency disk eject procedure,
then connect the power supply and reinsert the disk.
• Never force a Zip ® disk in or out of the drive.
• Never use ordinary 3.5 " floppy diskettes or floppy head-cleaning disks in your Zip ®
drive. They will cause severe damage to the drive.
CAUTION! Never put anything into your Zip ® drive except genuine 250MB or 100MB
Zip disks. Using disks that do not have these symbols may cause damage to your
drive or loss of data:
• For best results, operate your FotoShow ™ Image Center on a level surface when a Zip ®
disk is inserted and in use. If you wish to set your FotoShow ™ Image Center on its
side, use the FotoShow stand that came with your FotoShow Image Center.
• Avoid exposing the FotoShow ™ Image Center, Zip ® disks, Microdrives ™ , CompactFlash ™
cards, and SmartMedia ™ cards to dust, direct sunlight, high temperature, moisture, or
magnetic fields, such as from monitors and some speakers.
• Before disconnecting, shutting off the power, or moving your FotoShow ™ Image
Center, always remove the Zip ® disk.
• Keep your FotoShow ™ Image Center away from speakers or other devices that
generate strong magnetic fields.
