Zip Disk Loading
Note: The power on your DigiCart/II Plus must be on to enable normal disk loading and unloading.
The access door on the Zip Disk Drive opens inward when a disk is inserted. Zip disks are inserted
shutter-end first, label side up. During insertion, the shutter slides open to allow the heads access to
the two data surfaces. When loaded, the disk is locked in the drive.
Note: If the disk is difficult to insert, check its orientation and try again. DO NOT FORCE THE
DISK INTO THE DRIVE. Objects inserted into the front of the drive may damage it. Such action
will void the manufacturer's warranty.
Zip Disk Removal
1. Allow the Zip Disk Drive to complete servicing the command requiring disk
access. If desired, press STOP.
2. When the disk has stopped, the disk lock/eject mechanism will disengage.
3. Eject the disk by pressing the eject button.
NOTE: During certain operations, Zip Disk ejection is disabled by the DigiCart/II Plus software.
The Digicart/II Plus “Remembers” Attempts To Eject The Disk And Defers Ejection Until It
Is Enabled by the software.

Formatting A Zip Disk
New Zip 100 disks must be formatted before they can be used with DigiCart/II Plus. Use care
when formatting to select the correct drive; formatting is an irreversible process and destroys all
previous data on the disk or drive.
NOTE: The Zip Tools disk that comes with external Zip Drives cannot be formatted in a
DigiCart/II Plus.
To Format A Disk:
1. Insert the Disk into the Zip Drive on your DigiCart/II Plus.
2. Press the UTILITY MENU button.
