UTILITY — FORMATTING A PREVIOUSLY FORMATTED DISK

1

Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive.

2

Press the UTILITY button.

This calls up the Delete operation (page 97).
The filename will appear at the top of the display.
When there are no files on disk that the PSR-340 can delete, the FORMAT
display appears instead of DELETE, when the UTILITY button is pressed. In
this situation, step #2 is unnecessary.

If the UTILITY button is
pressed when there is no
floppy disk inserted into the
disk drive, a “No Disk”
message appears at the top
of the display, and all disk
operations will be disabled.

3

Press the UTILITY button again.

This calls up the Format operation.
“Format?” will appear at the top of the display.

When the floppy disk’s
write-protect tab is set to
ON (see page 92) or the
disk is a purposely “copy-
protected” disk, a “Protect”
message appears, indicating
that the Utility function is
not possible.

4

Press the EXECUTE button.

5

Execute the Format operation.

Press the + button (“YES”), and the Format operation will start. Once
started, the operation cannot be canceled.
During formatting, “Formting” will appear at the top of the display.

When the operation is completed, the following display briefly appears.

If you do not intend to format the disk, press the - button (“NO”) instead
of the + button (“YES”). To exit from the operation, press the UTILITY
button.

CAUTION

• While formatting is in
progress (the DISK IN USE
lamp is lit) , never eject the
disk or turn the power off.

• If data is already saved on
the disk, be careful not to
format it. If you format the
disk, all the previously
recorded data will be
deleted.

DISK OPERATIONS

This function is useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already
formatted disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically
deletes all data on the disk.
