Initializing New Disks
A new floppy disk can be used by a system only after being “formatted" - that is, initialised
by the system for specific, use by that system.
Whenever you carry out an operation for which your typewriter needs to use the disk
drive, such as saving document the typewriter first checks that there is a disk in the drive.
If there is not, the following message will appear in the display:
^INSERT DISK fiND PRESS RTN.
You should insert a disk and press the
[RETURN]
key,
If there is a disk in the drive, the disk format is checked. If the disk is unformatted or has
a different format, the following prompt appears:
^INITIALIZE? V
y
N
Press m to initialize the disk, or [N] to abandon the procedure. Initialization of the disk
will take a few minutes,
•WARNING!
- Initializing a disk erases any data that might be on it. If you initialize a disk
from a personal computer, for example, the files will be completely destroyed. Once the
disk has been initialized, however, it will be in the proper format for use with your
typewriter,
•The disk which comes with this machine is not initialized.
